The Hazro Wie model got a good review at TFT Central: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/hazro_hz30wie.htm
Unfortunately only Hazro itself appears to sell it (at a not-inconsiderable £720 inc VAT) whereas my stockist of choice, Overclockers UK, recently changed the one they have on sale to the inferior (8bit panel) Wi f model (though they haven't reduced the price or changed the spec for some reason).
If the Wi e was still available at a decent price it'd be in contention with the Korean 'grey' import Yamasaki Catleap http://www.120hz.biz/yamakasi-catlea...2b-extreme-oc/ in my considerations.
Here are the pros and cons as I see them (just my opinion, others will have their own I know):
Hazro Pros: 10 bit colour; no OSD or Scaler; only DVI-D port (of course some might construe these as cons but I prefer the lack of extras and their attendant effect on input lag). 3 year warranty. 16:10 aspect ratio.
Cons: Poor stand; AG treatment; relatively expensive.
Yamasaki Pros: 120hz possible; glossy screen; no OSD or scaler as per Hazro and only one DVI-D connection; relatively cheap (though they've rocketed up in price recently).
Cons: 1 year warranty (RTB!); no guarantee of 120hz; no guarantee against stuck pixels (unless you pay extra for the 'Pixel Perfect' model); A- quality panel; also have to consider VAT, customs duty and delivery; unknown brand; 16:9 aspect ratio.
The current available prices mean that the Catleap is a lot cheaper but OCUK have had 1 day offers in the past that brought the Hazro down to approximate parity (£500-550).
Main use would be games (esp. FPS) and films. Advice welcome, especially from owners of the above, cheers!
