Do report on this when you get it, I'm leaning towards this or the Asus PB278Q.
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you all. Ive used the monitor for a couple of weeks now, and it defiantly has its short comings.
For one thing, there is a definite buzz that I can hear coming from the back of the monitor. It isnt loud; but its definitely there and its annoying. It only occurs when I turn it on; after I get to the mac desktop the buzzing stops.
The advertisements say that this is bezel-less but its not. I can clearly see a 1 black border all the way around.
It does have a glass front, which I like; however, the glass sits about 2cm out from the chin and the back panel has a cheap, plastic feel to it. The stand, a-la iMac, is metal. It is very sturdy and there is no wobble.
The colors are great though and the text is very sharp and clear. There is an overall crispness-for lack of a better word-to the icons and text, most likely due to the layer bonding previously mentioned.
I find the OSD a bit clumsy to use but all the features that you would expect are there.
Also I came across a rather odd thing; if you plug in a display port-to-mini-displayport adaptor the monitor refuses to power on. I have no idea why this is so.
To be honest, Im not happy with it. Im going to try and sell it on Amazon and get a U2713HM as a replacement; I just hope that I wont notice the crosshatching issues people have reported.

ASUS PB Series PB278Q - (the one you mentioned)
I'd like to find one with a least 92% of the sRGB color space.
