It's Korean not Chinese.
And yeah I have that exact monitor, Matte not Glossy though.
Just be aware that if you overclock it to 120hz you will most certainly get some color/image degradation. For example if I put mine in 120hz mode and have a blank blue image it is very noticably darker on the right side than the left.
Many people can't even OC them to 120hz without other artifacts either, like strange lines etc. I've heard of a few people who claim they can OC without any change in the colors or uniformity but I am doubtful of their claims.
Most people run them in 96hz since it doesn't put a strain on the monitor components (they are really running at their limits when you OC to 120hz, which might reduce monitor life) and provides minimal to no change in colors or uniformity.
You can check our the 120hz forum http://111.120hz.net/forumdisplay.php?1-Monitors if you want more than my tiny bit of information, including information about how to safely overclock and color profiles.

To me it doesn't matter since I can't get 120 reliable fps in most games either way, but in in windows it is somewhat noticable I guess. It feels way different going from 60->96hz compared to 96->120hz though in my opinion, so you will still get something out of it.
Now I also don't know the return or warranty policy at the place you shop at, it might include free returns where you can simply get the monitor replaced if you can't run it at 120hz.
By the way, if you expect something totally smooth without ghosting you would probably need to go with the 144hz Lightboost TN monitors, since even 120hz isn't enough to eliminate mouse ghosting in windows for example.
1440p is pretty great, the glorious pixel density almost gives you a bit of antialiasing without even having it turned on, so only using SMAA is enough to make it look great in most places.
Also, about the glossy, just make sure you have your monitors back facing any window you have in the room, if you have it tilted at an angle to the window you will get horrible reflections that make it impossible to play during daylight. The QNIX matte coating is one of the best ones there is as well, compared to awful ones like say DELL where it looks like a coat of dirt when you pull up a white background.

Most of those korean panels needs some serious calibration to achieve "insane color quality", still better than TN tho. Also have you thinked about it, that 1440p also has 80% of more pixels to push than 1080p, your 660Ti is going to have hard time with 120hz 1440p screen. Other than that, its gonna be nice upgrade over TN panel. Have you considered overlord tempest OC monitor? That is gonna support upcoming G-SYNC chip aswell, gonna be sweet! (getting one myself).

Ohmygod.
No dead/stuck pixels, 120Hz was a wee bit too much in CSGO atleast, occasional flickers, dropped down to 110Hz and works like a charm.
AND DEM COLORS, OHMYGOD
Eyegasm.
I was expecting the standard 5 dead pixels and shit like 90Hz or something but this is just over the top compared to that.
Only issue is backlight bleed at the bottom which is easily fixed with some tape apparently.

I am thinking about ordering one of these and I'm wondering if it will be easy to fix if I get one with back light bleed. |
Only took the front bezel off yesterday to remove the tempered glass from the monitor, which is still Gloss even without it even though everyone has said that it is matte under the tempered glass O_o
Picture got slightly clearer and less dark with the removal of the useless tempered glass in front of it.
And honestly? I don't even notice the bleeding unless I turn my screen black, never see it in normal use really.
Forgot to buy some tape today when heading home, maybe on thursday or something.
Few pics of what I did: http://www.overclock.net/t/1384767/official-the-korean-pls-monitor-club-qnix-x-star/10640#post_21351493

With a little bit of tweaking I'm now running 120Hz without any hickups.

I can only imagine, even going from 24" to 27" was a pretty big upgrade for me heh
So how is it? Overclocked? Backlight bleed? Dead pixels? Burn-in?
