Is this worth the cost? this is the cheapest 144 hz ive seen and this is the range i can pay for.
If you know any other cheaper and better 140 hz or 120 hz monitor for sale please tell me.

They are the real deal. QNIX does make decent products for low prices. However in order to profit at those prices they are cutting corners on quality control and customer service. So you may get some dead pixels, backlight bleed, etc. And if there is a problem you will likely encounter headaches getting support (depending on who you buy it from). If you're willing to take the risk you can definitely end up with a great monitor for a great price. But you could also get 5 dead pixels in the center of the screen and nobody willing to replace it.

Yeah I went the "inexpensive" Korean off brand route two years ago. Long story short, these are monitors made with LCD screens made from the likes of LG that did not pass the grade (below grade A) for OEM monitor manufacturer requirements (LG, Samsung, Dell, Apple, etc.). Not only are you gambling with severe quality control as Timeconsumer stated, but you are also giving up extra input options and limited on-screen menu options for calibration.

I wrote a review of my experience with a Crossover 1440p 60Hz monitor on Amazon (model 27QW) back on March 14, 2014 but that entire monitor has been removed from Amazon and my review is gone. If you feel lucky, roll the dice and maybe you will get a good panel if you can live with the single input type (DVI-D for 144Hz speed) and limited on-screen menu options. IMO, they are not worth it.

You will not find a quality 144Hz 1080p 24" panel for under $200, and spending $180 for a Korean knock-off sub-A grade panel is just not worth it, again IMO. If you have a Best Buy near you (and you are in the US) this is about as good a deal as you're going to find:

BenQ option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014376

Finally, always remember the ages old wisdom: you get what you pay for.

Best wishes! Also FYI "backlight bleed" just means that you can see light from behind the screen peek through the edges of where the panel is put together. In daylight conditions (and gaming when the game is in daylight conditions), it's unnoticeable for the most part. But if you game at night, specifically if you game at night and have night gaming scenes in the game, it can be very annoying. Google some pics of back light bleed to get an idea.

I saw this pixel perfect version of the monitor for SG$250 here, shipped from Korea for $10 via FedEx. In Singapore, the cheapest 144hz monitor I can find is BenQ XL2411Z which is $468, which is nearly double the price. Is the extra features on the BenQ worth the extra $218? Any drawbacks of this monitor? Sorry if this is not related to this thread
