This is an initial review of this monitor, I just received it today.  Installation was slightly complicated by the fact that the instructions were mostly in an Asian language, but assembly was simple enough that it wasn't much of an obstacle.  The monitor is *BEAUTIFUL* !!!!!!!!!!!

I truly hope that I don't have the reliability problems that others have reported after 1 year, but for now I *love* it...

Later note, September 2015 (6 months after purchase):
Well, it remains a gorgeous monitor when it decides to work, but I've had to retire it.  When it's running, it runs beautifully, but I have *endless* headaches whenever I need to reboot the monitor - in most cases, the monitor just does not turn on.  I can usually get it to turn on by repeatedly unplugging the video cable, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in.  Using the power switch has no effect.

I have tried three different video cards (GTX 670, GTX 780, GTX 970), and all have the same issue with it.  I have upgraded BIOS on my motherboard, upgraded BIOS on all three video cards, made sure Nvidia drivers were current, but nothing changes this situation.  Furthermore, it is getting worse; at first, I only had to unplug/replug video cable once, but after awhile it took two repluggings, more recently even three or four were required.

This became a much more serious issue recently; I was researching why our electrical bill was so high, and discovered that when my computer was in idle mode (video and disk drive off), my gaming computer was still pulling 190W !!!  So, I changed the machine to go into Sleep mode after awhile; this mostly powers down the computer, and it draws around 40W in this mode, and can be re-awakened with a mouse click - except for this monitor, which does not wake up at all, until I do the unplug/replug trick a few times.

So, I got a nice 6 months, and definitely love the display, but I am done with it.  Given all the other problems that have been reported here on this monitor, I'm not going to put effort into repairing or replacing it.  I'll just learn from experience and move on.

So generally, just Beware - the monitor definitely has quality issues.
