27" Shimian briefly
Finally the delivery van arrived with Shimian 27" Lite.
It took more than 10 minutes to unpack. No damage. Perfect condition.
Hooked up DVI-D cable to Geforce 9600GT port and fired up the comp. As this is my first IPS panel I was amazed by the vibrant and natural colors.
Nvidia panel reports monitor HDCP ready.
Native resolution and refresh rate
No dead pixels but slight bleeding on the bottom edge on dark images.
Manual is Korean but indicates resolutions supported natively and the switches functions.
At the back the top most button is on off switch not very sturdy. The only other buttons that work are brightness low high. Rest are dud. The speaker grill is for aesthetics. Nothing inside it.
When the brightness button is pressed blue led in front of the monitor blips stops when either brightness if fully reached or at lowest settings.
Here are side by side picture of the Shimian and Benq G2400W. The white line on the Shimian is hidden taskbar.
The glossy does get irritating sometimes as slightest light reflects the user's image. However the IPS panel quality and its natural colors offsets any such feeling.
The power adapter rated at 240V so worked out of the box.
