Overall, it's fantastic.
Like most of the other people have ordered these, mine had 0 defective pixels, but some backlight bleed. I taped around the edges of the panel to reduce it, and that did a decent job. 90% of the time, the backlight bleed isn't noticeable. When watching dark shows like Game of Thrones, it can become visible. It's slightly annoying, but it's always on the edges, so it's never a deal breaker.
I recently purchased a new DVI-D cable because the new one was too short for me. It shipped with a 4-5 ft cable, I needed 6.
Mine didn't come with a US power adapter. It included the power brick, but I had to use a spare cable (like this) that I had lying around. It only included the Korean version of that cable.
The stand is very wobbly, but there are VESA mounts. Personally, I'm fine with the stand the way it is, as my desk isn't in a place where it could be knocked around much. If it were, I'd consider purchasing a new mount for it.
I haven't attempted overclocking it yet, so I can't speak on that. Not sure if I will try it at all.
The colors are fantastic. I'm using my old 24" TN monitor as a secondary monitor right now. Sometimes I'll pull up the same video on both screens just to convince myself that the $300 was worth it. It's a huge difference.
I haven't witnessed any ghosting or input lag or anything like that in games. Honestly, I think most of that response time lingo is just a marketing gimmick, but hey, maybe some people can notice it.
I think that covers just about everything that I've experienced with it. Let me know if I skipped anything!
Oh, and I have the glossy, not the matte. Not a huge difference between the two though, just a coating on the panel. The electronics are all the same.
edit: To be clear, not all panels have backlight bleed, and not all panels have 0 defective pixels. As mentioned above by /u/Remmib, some have no backlight bleed but some dead pixels. It has been my experience, from reading forums of people who own these monitors, that a majority of people do not have any dead pixels, but have some moderate to severe backlight bleed.
edit2: fixed length numbers a bit
I'm looking right now.... give me a sec op
Edit:
Checked bby.com and we carry every other cable but that one. Unless you buy one of the universal laptop adapters. But they would probably have the "figure 8" connector. Instead of the "mickey mouse" one which is the photo that you uploaded.
I'm going to link different places that I found it available at.
Amazon : Made by Belkin 6' long
Walmart (online) ; Made by "Cables to go" 6' long
Amazon: Made by PRW+ (available in lengths up to 12')
Newegg: 12' cable
like the other said, most PCs support 110 or 220. If it's a desktop, their power supplies usually have a little switch you have to turn from one to the other. Laptops usually have chargers that switch automatically. Monitors the same. All you need is a socket converter, the kind you buy in airports. For the PC and laptop, I actually went and bought original cables, like these

The fan and the clock might not be worth it, if they don't support it automatically (but they could, check the labels)
whatever you do, read the specifications of the electrical component before plugging it in.
Extending the higher voltage part of the circuit is always more efficient, you get a double whammy on the low-voltage side as the amperage is going to be higher, requiring thicker wire; AND The higher amperage creates higher voltage drop across the resistance of the wire AND that voltage drop is a much greater percentage of the target voltage.
Get a skinny lamp cord type extension for the 120V side.
Or, the AC inlet on your laptop supply is probably an IEC C5 or C9, just get a longer one. https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Gateway-Notebook-Computer-Charger/dp/B002WQ7CFG
