I test the monitor first before sending out.
This way I can send it back to the gmarket seller, if not satisfied.

Since I am in Korea, I can't do any replacements or warranty for you. But based on my and other user's experience the monitor will work fine.

I am being transparent here.

You could buy from the ebay link as they might be able to help with returns or you could buy from the gmarket link and use Hoyoyo service to ship it to you.

Right now, I am just providing a service for anyone who want.

nowadays no people buy shimian anymore coz cannot overclock
they prefer Qnix because can overclock to 120hz

but actually 1440p monitors are 4 years ago trend liao
nowadays trend is buy cheap 4K monitor from Korea such as wasabimango or crossover

FYI: I have 2 yamakasi catleap 1440p that can be overclocked to 120hz

LOL that's what I was asking you. I wanted to know if you would return the monitor if the panel wasn't good/defective. Haha hah. Thanks man really appreciate it. I am quite interested but still want to look at other options. Till when will you be in Korea?

Yes. I know.
Replied to another user about this a few posts up.

The reason for shimian is that shimian is still available while the other brands are out of stock.
Bear in mind that these monitors are out of production since 2012.

The wasabimango and crossover or any other 30inch and below 4K panels are not IPS panel, and most are sourced from the same panels as Dell and Samsung, both of which have local distributors and they provide warranty. The price for some of them are actually quite similar, so there is no point in buying 4K from Korea IMO.

There are yamakasi at the same price, I could get that too. I went to the shop to select between shimian and yamakasi, not sure why but felt that the shimian monitor was slightly better.
Could've gotten the yamakasi if I knew that. I could go down to the shop and get another but that would mean I have to fork out money to buy another DVI-D adapter for my macbook...
No desktop right now.. Maybe could buy one next time for my brother. xD

EDIT: Just checked.. Wasabimango has IPS 4K but those are TV sized. 43 inches and above. Priced at 700,000+won
eBay sellls 27 inch 4K TN/VA panel, at 500+usd.

EDIT2: Saw your sig.. You went to KAIST? 천재네~~

A few years.

Qnix 2710 evo ii or Xstar can overclock and is still available (I think, last checked few months ago)
Yamakasi catleap only older versions (2A and 2B) can overclock, newer models cannot overclock
but all of that doesn't matter anyway because you are using macbook

Yes, there are many 4K IPS (wasabi mango and crossover) but 40 inches above
about 600,000 to 700,000won
But that is a norm nowadays

Yes I was at KAIST

I just checked.
IPS Qnix is out of stock. Left are new AH-VA units.
I had updated added the Qnix VA panel one in the post.

KAIST > SKY

Me in SKY sad..

just to let u know the qnix u posted cannot be overclock
because it is MULTI version
any monitor with MULTI input cannot be overclock
or to be exact, it will frame skipping/dropping even if u supply 120hz to it

http://prod.danawa.com/info/?pcode=1962890&keyword=qx2710
this 1 is the old 1 and confirm can overclock by many people in overclock.net , but more expensive

http://prod.danawa.com/info/?pcode=3338039&keyword=qx2710
this 1 is new 1 and use PLS instead of IPS
it seems can overclock
but I cannot guarantee that
you need to search google and do some homework and check some forum posts

Updated the Qnix link dy.
I posted this because there were some interest by other forummers after I posted the review of Shimian.

So i bought a Yamakasi q2703 from ts and I thought you guys may want some feedback. In total it cost RM 865.00 total including shipping and no tax at all. Recieved the item in roughly a week, shipping took 4 days. NO DEAD PIXELS. AT ALL, NONE THAT I CAN PICK UP, but there is dust stuck under the panel. No big deal can always open up the panel and clean it up if it really bothers me.

To be honest, the monitor casing does look fairly premium, then you turn it around and use the stand and then you realise that you really want a stand/mount. The monitor shakes even when I don't touch it, just using my cieling fan causes it to shake. But then again, I paid 865 ringgit for a 1440p S-IPS panel, so really, no big deal. There were some scuffs on the base, again no big deal.

The image quality is amazing and honestly, its a steal. I took some photos, but its with a shitty phone cam, just to give you an idea of how it looks, as well as some photos of the dust in the panel itself. (http://imgur.com/a/2fa75) < album

BTW, i wasnt able to overclock it, it couldn't manage an overclock of 70 fps, and was just too lazy to try anything else. All in all, nice seller and nice item. 10/10 would buy again.

Thank you for your review!!!

Very interested.
But let me get this straight first. On the achiva shimian.

Its shimian. Its's IPS panel by LG. It great based on anandtech. Build is "meyhhh". Got to use dual dvi. Dont overclock. And its a refurbish set bought by you in S.Korea.

You'll check the monitor for any defects before sending it to buyer. If not that great, you be the one dealing with he online seller for replacement.

The monitor cost RM 552 and the shipping gonna cost RM330+RM50
Total of RM932.

Is that it.

Yes in fact for Molestermau5, I checked the monitor before sending, and the monitor was broken when it arrived at my house.
I returned it to the seller for replacement without extra charge.
I will take pictures and send it to you to check before I send.
There are a few other people that asked me for NEW 4K monitors too but those I ask for their permission before I open the box to check since those are new and unopened.
For used shimian, I open box and take picture and send to customer first, so that they can see if there are any dead-pixels.

The price is what you had stated.

I try to be as transparent as possible. I would say I am more or less a "taobao" agent for Korea that knows a bit more about monitors.


Thank you for your interest!

Are there any korean IPS monitors 2560x1440/1600p without the glossy finish?

The glossyiness is kinda eye-hurting when there is other light in the room.

The glossiness of Shimian and Yamakasi can be fixed by taking of the front mirror..
I can try find other monitors but most Korean ones are glossy.
I think if 1080p should have matte panels somewhere.

Any lobang for H-IPS, AS-IPS or IPS Alpha monitor?

S-IPS is a very dated tech. Can see ghost. Does it really make any difference if you overclock it when display itself cant catch up?

You have any options for a bigger monitor - 32 inch maybe - had a try with a 1440p 27inch.. still not enough.. hehe.. junkie for screen space now

I recommend 39 inch 4K 60Hz HDMI 2.0 Freesync Monitor
Microboard B400UHD

A previous buyer bought this from me.

PM me if interested.

Thank you!

The B400 looks out of stock everywhere and they're replacing it with B420 and B430 which are 42 and 43 inch with IPS panel, is it not?

B400UHD HDX is still in stock in South Korea.
eBay no stock but it is still available in Korea.

Microboard B420 should be same panel as Wasabimango B420
Wasabimango B420 is RM2800 including shipping.

Thank you!
