Perfect Pixel 27" YAMAKASI Q270 JUPITER LED AH-VA WQHD 2560x1440 DP HDMI DVI D-SUB PC Monitor

Review: Very Good Monitor - Approaching Excellent - This monitor has turned out to be excellent. It took some prodding of my Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 to get it to go to full resolution but it did. The images are crisp and I did not find a single pixel that does not shine. In my case the video capability is minimal and fine for videos of less than full frame but full screen overtaxes my old laptop's video capability. The only weak spot is the stand which is a bit wobbly and too short as the monitor sits too low on my desk. I will have to purchase a proper stand to get the screen up to eye level so i can sit upright in my chair and have the screen at eye level. If the stand was good, this would have been a five star review. But, a stand is going to cost about $30 plus installation time, labor and bother.
Review: It's Basically Perfect -- For My Own Needs, At Least - I've been using a Princeton 24" 1920x1200 display ( Princeton Vl2418w 24" Wide Screen Dual Input Flat Panel LCD Monitor ) for many years now, and have been feeling the constraint of the limited real estate. This is the display for a workstation in my home, serving as the front-end for four different computers through a KVM switch. It gets used for household tasks, as well as my work (both day-job and consulting) in the field of bioinformatics and data analysis. This wasn't an essential purchase, as the Princeton has been working fine, so it took a while for me to build up the nerve to upgrade. I wanted at least 2560x1440, and ideally 2560x1600. I didn't want it to be larger than 30", and weight was an issue, as I wanted to mount this monitor on a VESA wall-mount arm ( LX Wall Mount LCD Arm ) that has a 25-pound limit. After some research, this monitor floated to the top of the shortlist and I gave it a go. And it's perfect. I love it. I've had it for a month, and it has exceeded all of my expectations. Zero dead pixels. Essentially no backlight bleed. While I'm not a "serious" gamer, I do some recreational gaming, and the refresh rate is totally fine. No issues at all. Excellent contrast, excellent blacks, good colors. And the resolution is great, especially for a monitor of this size. It looks totally lovely. Now that I've got this baby installed, I'm now of the opinion that 2560x1600 would be overkill (though my opinion may change in a few years). If I were being truly objective, I would dock my rating by a star, maybe two, because this monitor wasn't turnkey: it requires some DIY effort in order to work satisfactorily. I knew this going in, so there were no ugly surprises on my end. But I suspect that some people (and perhaps the majority of the casual computer-buying public) would find this monitor to be completely unacceptable as-is. And this is because of its suboptimal, integrated stand, which is the biggest caveat I can offer about this monitor: its stand sucks rocks. It sucks rocks so hard, it turns them into diamonds. I used this monitor with its original stand for about a day or so (to make sure that the monitor worked before I broke out the tool kit), and I can add to the chorus: its built-in stand is garbage. In my case, it had two critical issues: (1) it tilted the monitor to one side by about five to ten degrees; that is, from the front, looking at the screen, the monitor was noticeably lower on the right side than the left, and it couldn't be adjusted without shimming the base. (2) It was ultra-sensitive to vibrations and wobbled at the slightest provocation. If your computer keyboard shares the same surface as the monitor stand, a decisive hit of the return key or a frustrated tapping of the backspace key would make it wobble. Luckily, the stand can be removed, and the monitor has a 3" VESA mount on the back (yay!). Unluckily, to remove the stand and get at the mount, you need to spend about an hour painstakingly taking the monitor apart (boo!). You can find instructions online (desertcart discourages external URLs in product reviews, so search for the "Yamakasi Catleap Monitor Club" with your favorite search engine), and I recommend checking out the procedure before purchasing it. No soldering is involved -- you'll only need some screwdrivers and nerves of steel -- but still, the procedure isn't for the faint of heart, so if you're not experienced with dismantling electronics, find a friend who is. Of course, if you remove this monitor's stand, you'll need to replace it with another one, such as: VIVO Single LCD Monitor Desk Stand Fully Adjustable/Tilt for 1 Screen up to 27" (STAND-V001F) . (And additionally, opening it up will void its warranty, so take a moment (or a day) to confirm that it works as expected before removing that first screw.) I'm reasonably experienced at this sort of thing, and it took me about an hour of careful surgery to get the stand removed and have everything buttoned back up. Now I have the display connected to the wall mount and I can't imagine anything better -- for my own needs, at least. There might be equivalent monitors out there, at an equivalent price point, that don't require as much effort to get them VESA-mounted, but I wasn't able to find one. I also get a minor thrill out of doing some custom work on something in order to get it exactly how I want it, so it's win-win. I'm delighted. (For some other pointers, the monitor's settings menu is in Korean by default, so if that's an issue for you, you'll need to change the language in the settings. Unfortunately, it's difficult to change the menu's language if you can't read the menu options to begin with. So try this: press the "M" button, then press the down-arrow button until you get to the "OSD" icon. Press "M" again. "Language" is the top option and should be selected, so press "M" again. This should give you a list of language options; highlight your preferred language with the arrow buttons and select it with the "M" button. If only we all used Esperanto as a standard global language, but no one ever listens ...) I also feel compelled to mention another minor nuisance: the front bezel is really, really smooth and shiny -- imagine the shoes of an ROTC cadet on inspection day. It's shiny enough that I can see the reflections of my fingers typing, which can be distracting. It also soaks up fingerprints better than sunglasses. I probably won't care about this in a month or so (update from the future: it doesn't bug me anymore), but for now, a big glaring fingerprint on the bezel of my shiny new monitor is vexing. It's the same with dust. A tiny dust particle sticks out against that piano-black background like a low-magnitude star. I guess this means I would prefer a matte texture, but it still looks lovely And lastly, I am compelled to mention that this monitor has a greater resolution than what is regarded as "standard technology", so it will require a DVI dual-link or display port connection if you want to use its maximum resolution. Regular (single-link) DVI or HDMI will only work up to 1920x1200. This was an ugly realization for me, as my KVM switch only supports single-link DVI, so a new KVM switch is in my future, and thus getting a higher resolution display turned out to be a more expensive proposition than I had originally expected. But that's not this monitor's fault. Those people with only a single computer can use the supplied dual-link DVI cable and probably won't even notice the difference. But if you're using HDMI, or if your computer only supports single-link DVI, then you'll only get 1920x1080, scaled up to the full display.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where can I get replacement screws for the stand?**
A: I don't know where to get an identical screw, but I found one that matches the thread and worked for me at Lowe's.

**Q: Will it work on 2010 mac pro with ati radeon™ hd 5770 card?**
A: You'll need hdmi cord but it has hdmi capability so it'll work. Awesome monitor for such a great price.

**Q: Can this be overclocked like the catleap series?**
A: I was able to overclock mine to 110Hz.  I have the Catleap 2B series as well and that one runs at 120Hz.  If you are comparing the two, the Catleap does not have a scaler so the response time is slightly better between the two.  But, at 110Hz I do find FPS games are playable.  What I like better about this monitor is the color control with the OSD (which the Catleaps 2B models do not have).  What I like less about the monitor is the AG coating.  I knew it had it going in and it is not as bad as I thought it might be.  But, personally I prefer glossy much more (which my Catleap is).

**Q: Whick cable will i need to connect to new macbook pro w/retina display?**
A: The Yamakasi Q270 Jupiter has available a HDMI port,a DVI port, a sub-D port and a Display Port.I use the HDMI port connected to a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop with an HDMI cable with HDMI micro on one end and standard HDI on the other end.  It is a terrific monitor and I am very satisfied.  However, I did purchase from Monoprice a new stand and took the unit apart to instal the new stand.

### ⭐⭐ Meh. China.
*by M***A on September 5, 2016*

Performs as advertised, VERY difficult to get to the Vesa mount to use it in portrait mode. Documentation in English is nonexistent. Onscreen menus make me feel like an archeologist missing my Rosetta stone.
