I’ve been noticing a trend of cheap off brand 27” 2560x1440 resolution monitors popping up lately and most users who have taken the plunge are pretty happy with them. You can find them on ebay. some of the notable ones are the Catleap 27Q, Achieva Shimina QH270, Auria EQ276W. Just be sure to get one with a 240v to 110v adapter.   Remember to post your comments on: www.homeservershow.com/forums or send us an email at byob@homeservershow.com.
