    Looking to get a larger external monitor and (like everyone) want the best possible feature set for the lowest price.

    Read all about the Korean Achieva Shimian 27" 2560x1440 IPS display, but still no way to purchase these from a US seller. and it looks like the prices have gone up alot recently.

    Stepping down to a 1920x1080, there are many options available for around 200-$300. What do you recommend?

    Viewsonic seems like the cheapest right now.

    Slickdeals always have a nice IPS display on sale. Seems every week there is a deal.
