As an owner of one I'll toss in my 0.02.
I purchased the Achieva Shimian 27" off of eBay for $290 a few weeks ago. It arrived within 5 days of purchase from Korea. There are no dead pixels or other defects. I hook it up to my macbook pro using: http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Dual...
This monitor only accepts dual-DVI input. You can buy the HDMI version for $350 if you want.
Other variations include "pixel perfect" displays. Pixel perfect means they opened the box and there were no dead pixels. 80% of people on hardocp reported no dead pixels.
The stand is definitely a bit wobbly.
For $290--it can't be beat.
