Yet another thread for "need a 1440p+ monitor"

[TetraSky]

Alright, I'll preface it with this:

 

As such, I need a monitor. But honestly, I can't find anything that isn't ridiculously expensive. You seems to be able to get a 1080p monitor for really cheap, but when it comes to resolutions higher than that, be ready to shell out at least $400 because suddenly everything is IPS or high refresh rate... Ugh.

 

I don't think my requirement are that hard to match, I just need the following:
Size : 25" or higher. My current main monitor is 25,5", I don't see myself going lower than that.

Resolution : 1440p or above. I currently have a 1200p monitor, really don't want to be downgrading to 1080p or stay at 1200p. 1080p would look like lego blocks at the size I want.

Panel type : Honestly don't care, as long the monitor/panel isn't known to have obvious light bleeding at the edges.

COST : Under $350 CANADIAN MONOPOLY MONEY. The cheaper the better.

Aspect Ratio : 16:9, 16:10, 21:9, don't care as long as it isn't some square 4:3 thing.

Korean monitors welcome.

 

Yet despite all that, the only monitors I can find that even remotely match my requirements, at 23" monitors, way too small considering I'm not sitting with my face up the screen.(more than 1 arm length away)

Everything else I can find is either some expensive high refresh rate monitor or some ridiculously expensive ips g-sync monitor that are between $600 and $1000. Since when did that become the norm!?

Is there no such thing as a cheap 25" 1440p TN 60hz monitor anymore?!

It seems that there may be better options on the USA Amazon site than on the Canadian Amazon site, from what I can tell. (Also, the Canadian dollar could use a pick-me-up)

 

Canada

That's my biggest issue right now... Many monitors, even accounting for the exchange rate, are ridiculously overpriced in Canada compared to the US, thus limiting my options a lot, just like how there's really no monitor that matches what I want at my price point on Amazon.ca

 

I mean really, the same monitor, on CA and US Amazon, is $100 over the current exchange rate. I get that there's import taxes and other sh*t like that, but that's ridiculous.

sucks man, best I can recommend is to either look for used stuff or settle for something a little less, like maybe a 1080 ultrawide.

 

alternatively you might be able to pick up a decent tv within that price that would work.

Considering that right now.

The used monitor market isn't that great here. Unless if I wanted a monitor even older than what I currently have...

If you think that's ridiculous, you should check the Indian pricing for the monitors. I tried to buy from newegg but the shipping and Import fees combined were more than half the price of the Monitor.

Is there any cheap korean monitors anyone here bought and are satisfied with?

unfortunately no, I went the high road with mine.

 

I'd look up the company of that korean monitor LTT did a review of a while ago though, he seemed pretty satisfied with the quality, see if the same company has other monitors available

Yeaaah, first thing I did was look that monitor up. Linus says it was around $400. Which wouldn't have been that bad... Except that since then, that particular monitor model BLEW UP in pricing and is now nearly $1000 in CAD. Probably in response to the higher demand exactly due to his review of it.

They do, like the "MicroBoard R270IPS", but I can't find any info or review on it. (And of course it doesn't ship to Canada... it's on ebay for $333CAD though)
