I've been researching these lately as well and I've found the Crossover 27Q LED to be the best build quality and the nicest casing.

Quite tempted to snap one of these up before they get popular and drive the price up..

I've got a 27Q and it is excellent. The housing is metal, the stand is solid (if lacking in adjustment, but other models offer more adjustment - I replaced it with an Ergotron MX arm). It's very basic - just a DVI port. Crossover has multiple models offering different stands and different connectivity options. The major unknown at this point is longevity, but other than that I would recommend this without reservation.

I have an Ergotron MX arm (one of the best purchases I ever made) supporting a 23" ViewSonic and I was planning to get one of these 27" monitors. How well do these arms support monitors that big?

I have the Crossover 27Q and the Ergotron MX works perfectly with it.

These require 2 DVI connectors, right? Is there a similar one with HDMI? [E: ok.. it seems like 1 dual-link DVI, so-- can you simply use a basic HDMI-DVI socket converter as used on many video cards if you want to plug in an HDMI source?]

Also appear to be glossy, care to comment on your impressions of that aspect?
