Hey woot, I’m not saying you can’t do whatever you want with your own site, but it looks like you have two exact duplicate items in this sale. Just a little heads-up.

Interesting. I’ll let them know.
People looking at the BenQ CAD/CAM monitor, it is just that. Specifically for displaying complex line drawings. Games, movies, and photographs will not look right on this monitor because they have altered the colors and contrast of the display to render 3D drawings. I don’t think anyone will spend this amount of money casually, but just a warning. Buy it for what they say it’s for, not something else.
If you want a general purpose 27" WQHD monitor, the HP ZR2740w at $450 is a very good screen. I have one, the colors are perfect (nearly perfect, 5% correction in the green channel) and the sharpness of details is impressive. It’s great for photo and video. Not so great for reading print that can’t be scaled, because at 2560X1440 the letters can get really small. For text I think a regular 1920X1080 27" monitor is much better.
I really want a woot deal a professional 30 inch monitor… The biggest you got on this was a 27… But this is America, and I we need ourselves some space once in a while to work or play! Please woot, let’s get a 30 inch monitor soon. It’s not too expensive, I can never find refurbished ones, they fly off the shelves, this is a popular size with photographers and video editors.
The PG2401PT:
1080P and the specs 1200.
Just want to verify vert res is 1200 and not 1080.

Yeah, not sure why 1080p is even mentioned, but from the specs tab: Resolution (max.): 1920 x 1200
I want one.
This monitor is WUXGA, 1920 x 1200.
The CAD/CAM Mode is just one of the modes on the monitor, as there are photo, SRGB, and even a Macbook mode to ensure that color maps are optimized for photo’s, movies and casual gaming. The poster is correct that if you view a photo through the CAD mode, it will look different - as it is optimized for line drawings in this mode. One cool feature is that the software that comes with the monitor enables you to automatically switch modes depending on the program. For example you can set it to switch to color mode in a photo app, then when you switch to a CAD program it will automatically switch to that mode. The Macbook mode is designed to emulate the color map of the Macbook display, which is a unique color map in itself. Hope that helps!
3D ready means it will connect to a graphics card that can furnish alternating right and left at 120 Hz. You will need active glasses. It isn’t clear to me if the monitor itself sends the IR signal to sync the glasses. This is NOT like the passive system made by LG.
The BenQ monitors use the Nvidia technology platform to deliver the 3D images. This is the defacto standard for our gaming monitors.
