Microcenter sells one @ $399 with the same warranty but has DVI/HDMI/VGA/DisplayPort. I'm assuming same panel as it is also IPS LED. http://www.microcenter.co

I've followed this a bit by googling, reading posts and checking slickdeals and it doesn't output the 2560 resolution on anything but dual-link dvi and display port.

  Those are the only protocols that can handle the resolution. It's not a product limitation, it's just a law of nature.

Wish I'd seen this one before I bought my Dual-Link DVI only monitor.

> Microcenter sells one @ $399 with the same warranty No, according to your link Microcenter is selling with a one year warranty. The OP article indicates Monoprice will use a three year warranty. I wonder how likely a monitor like this is to fail in year two or three.

  I am mystified as to why someone deemed that correction worthy of a downvote?

    Honestly, I down vote on the iPhone all the time, by accident. I'd assume that if I was you...

      Ah, interesting. Thanks.

    Possibly because the monitor actually has a 1 year warranty (i.e. the OP was wrong). (Note that I didn't downvote, I'm just giving a plausible explanation as to why someone might.)

  The article is contradicting Monoprice's product page, which indicates only a one year warranty, like Micro Center: > As you've come to expect from Monoprice, we stand behind our products and offer a full 1 year warranty, which is at least 3-4 times what is offered by other monitor manufacturers.

I have three of these monitors and while they're great for coding, don't expect the color to be anything close to Apple displays. No matter the amount of calibration I do, if you sit one of these next to your MBP Retina, it will look drastically different. Compare GMail's grey highlights to see the difference.
