Posted March 29, 2015 This reliable brand? Anybody ever got a monitor from Crossover? They look cheap. Never heard of them. What do they make?

Posted March 29, 2015 They're a Korean brand. They use the same panels as Dell and LG for example. But the problem is that when there's something wrong with the monitor good luck with CS because that is most likely non existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 29, 2015 I currently have in my setup a Crossover 290M which is their 29" 21:9 1080p model. I bought the monitor from ebay for 250 euros 6 months ago from Korea with free shipping included and with a warranty that the panel would have 0 dead pixels. From my experience using it, the monitor deserves every euro I spent for it. The panel is amazing, the same that LG uses in its monitors that cost 2 times more. The build quality is outstanding for an unknown company, with a full metal construction that arrived scratch-free and the stand is very steady. But there are some disadvantages. The only input is DVI-D, which for this resolution is absolutely fine, but it would be nice to have HDMI or even a single DisplayPort. Also, there is no menu to do on-monitor adjustments, apart from adjusting the brightness. If you need anything specific from my experience, I will be glad to answer all questions! As of the repair costs if everything bad happens, I think that the internals are similar to the LG models. I can disassemble the monitor and list the parts if you like. But I don't think it will be difficult to change any component, even if it needs some DIY technics. For 250 euros, it was a compromise I was willing to make.
