I own a Qnix brand monitor, WQHD, overclockabled (110Hz for me). and about the cheapest price you can imagine, from a South Korean retailer via Ebay. Totally happy with it, until we have FreeSync 100Hz IPS/VA 1440p monitors. Aren't they kinda similar to these Nixeus? If so, I don't see the appeal unless they are super cheap or overclockable. Which this one doesn't seem to be, unless 390USD is cheap. If you need 10 bit, you want full 10bit. And 1440p IPS displays can be had for about 300 - 350€ (Germany), which should translate to as much USD in most cases. Weird monitor, especially for an Anandtech mention. :D
Also got Qnix 27'' PLS, bought it from Ebay 3 years ago. Got it for €350 or something. Still going strong. It has matt screen not glossy as Nixeus one.
They still have them on Ebay under €200 wow. Make sure you go for Pixel Perfect option.
This new Nixeus at $390 is a rip off. Why pay more for just another noname?
Do guys have any idea why QNIX says their 27" QHD monitor isn't compatible with Macs? I've used a BenQ QHD panel with my 27" iMac in the past at 2560x1440 with no issues.
Maybe because of connectors. Mine has only one which is Dual DVI. If your Mac has it or you can buy reduction to whatever you have there is no reason why it should not work.
I still rather like my old Dell U2412M (a 6-bit + A-FRC panel). That's not to say I don't MUCH prefer the ASUS PB258Q I have at work, but it'll do just fine at my home computer until a replacement monitor comes out with the right set of performance, features, and price.
Well, according to tftcentral, 6bit + FRC for some time is mature enough to look just as good. maybe you should stop buying fake good displays.. and buy some actually good ones.
What catches my eye with this monitor is the massive bezel, the buttons and the huge logo. It's almost as if the designteam never tried or they just don't have a designteam. Today there are so many options on the market, that design is gonna be a huge selling point. The home users and offices both look at appearance.. Only as a monitor in some production facility where features like being dust proof etc. weighs heavylier, design it's much of a sales option.
It looks nice, but I'd prefer something smaller. Something in the 15-17 inch range would fit a lot better on my desk and still leave room for other things. I use my desk space for a variety of work and some of it involves notebooks, paper, and other ilk like that so a computer and large monitor can't take up a lot of area. There are a few 10 inch screens that are generally targeted at the Raspberry Pi market that would do better, but the quality of the screen is questionable in a lot of those cases and it's hard to find something at 1366x768 at that size that isn't a TN panel.

Agreed. My Qnix is @ 96Hz no probs and cost £100 less than this more than 3 years ago (I think)...Zerotic - Sunday, November 6, 2016 - link
