Just wanted to echo the masses here. Bought a Shimian 27", as recommended by many in this thread. It's loving incredible. It's so crisp and clear! I have a 27" iMac at work, it looks exactly the same. I did find one stuck pixel but I can only see it on a full black background, might try and mess around to see if I can get rid.

Crossposting from the Mac Hardware thread since you guys are cooler. I just got an Apple Cinema Display with a mini-display port cable. How do I plug it in to my GTX 680 with full sized display port, HDMI or DVI These are the connectors on my GTX 680: DVI Output : Yes x 1 (DVI-I), Yes x 1 (DVI-D) HDMI Output : Yes x 1 Display Port : Yes x 1 (Regular DP) The apple display is Mini-DisplayPort. I'd like to run at the full resolution, 2560-by-1440. What connectors do I need to buy to do this?

coffeetable posted:DisplayPort to minidisplayport. Should be $5. Whoops, had a wrong model # before. But yeah, you should be able to track down a mini DP female to DP female and use a cable, or a connector that changes mini DP female to DP male, and plug it straight in. mediaphage fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Aug 14, 2012 |

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 27" korean IPS. I am looking at this one, but not 100% sure if it comes with the right power adapter. The title says "FREE Voltage", so uhhh I think maybe that means US power adapter? The image towards the bottom also appears to be a US-style plug, but it is a very small pic and I'm not sure how accurate all the pics are on these ebay posts. Anyone know? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACHIEVA-Shi...ht_15763wt_1163

So I got my Dell UltraSharp U3011 and my second GTX670 today. I installed both, and I have two questions. 1. The UltraSharp doesn't seem to work using just the DisplayPort. I know this doesn't really matter because I have two DVI-D cables (other one for my 22 inch Syncmaster) but it's odd. 2. The second GTX670 is hooked up properly and the SLI bridge is connected to both cards, but nothing comes up saying I'm using SLI and I don't know what utility I need to run to get it working. This is my first time using SLI.

If that's already the setting, it's already SLI-enabled. 1) How so "doesn't seem to work"? It should work, and there's no obvious reason why it wouldn't be.

How would my GTX460 handle a catleap (27") + a 24" secondary for general use, plus gaming (though prob. at reduced resolution)?

If you reduce the gaming resolution, then it'll be indistinguishable from a monitor running the reduced resolution, in terms of performance.

Have you: -Tried both cards individually in the first PCIE 16x slot to make sure the new one works? -Tried starting up the pc with just the second card in the second PCIE 16x slot to make sure it was seated correctly/the slot is working? -Tried a fresh install of the drivers (complete uninstall and reinstall)? -Tried using the SLI bridge on the other set of connectors? Other than all of those maybe check and see if you need to enable SLI in the BIOS.

Yeah, so I'm a total retard and the bottom card wasn't seated properly. I pulled both out to check them and realized my mistake. Somehow my DisplayPort now works also. Problem solved, thanks to everyone who tried to help my dumb rear end.

I got my 30" Korean monitor set up last night. Picture is awesome. Zero dead pixels. At first I thought it might have arrived dead, but then I realized I had reused the DVI cable from my last monitor and I guess the cable wasn't dual-link. Once I used the cable that came with it it displayed properly. I currently have it hooked to a 9500GT and I'm surprised how well the card is handling it. I don't really game much, but it handled IL-2:Sturmovik at 2560x1600 with no stuttering. A++++ would paypal some random Korean guy $660 again.

How common is support for DVI to Component? I know everywhere that sells the cable says "check your video card for compatibility" but I don't have a monitor to boot the PC with to check. FWIW, It's an nvidia actual card, and not onboard.

298298 posted:Holy crap. I got the Catleap in today and it works perfectly, great color especially with the color profile I downloaded, but I had no idea how terrible it would be going back from 55" to 27". It's just not doable for me. I bought a Sharp LC52E77U just for gaming. It has less than one frame of input lag at 1080p, but it's only 52". They do make a 60" version, though, which I believe has the same input lag. You can find more good recommendations here: http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/sub-1-frame-hdtv-monitor-input-lag-database.145141/ but none of them are 55"+. How much are you going to sell your Catleap for?

I'm not sure if anybody will have the answer to this but it's worth a try. I got Maxivista demo working with my old Advent 4211 (MSI Wind), connected to another monitor to make a total of 3 screens on two systems. The trouble is it's pretty limited in that the third screen is only as good as the hardware on that machine (integrated GFX). It hates Firefox and completely stops FSX from working. Does Displayport emulate your good GFX card, and would it be much slower than 'integrated GFX over ethernet'? Maxivista is still cool as hell considering it's running from x64 Windows 7 to x32 Windows XP.

Whoa, this is the same exact model I have (got it back) but there's insane input lag on anywhere near 1920x1080. I'm using a DVI-to-HDMI cable, is it possible that could be the cause? Also it says it's 120mhz but I only have 60 in the monitor settings. I sold the Catleap in SA Mart for $300 shipped 298298 fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Aug 15, 2012 |

Nah, I use a DVI to HDMI cable too, thought I don't use it for computer gaming. Over regular HDMI I notice no lag on my PS3. But DVI and HDMI are the same interface, just different connectors, so there's no reason for the cable to introduce lag. Do you have the TV in game mode while using it with your PC? Also make sure active contrast is on. I realize this is extra postprocessing but for some reason on this TV it's been proven to reduce input lag for whatever reason. Edit: Just realized, the PS3 is outputting at 720p. My mistake. Though I would imagine running at 1080p would bypass the scaler and thus reduce input lag, but as the active contrast thing proves, this TV is sorta weird. bonj fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Aug 15, 2012 |

I thought the Game Mode was just recalibrated color settings and never used it ;/ It's fixed the input lag problem completely it seems. 2+ years of having this TV without using it. gently caress my life. Have you had any luck getting yours past 60mhz refresh rate? I'm thinking about updating firmware to see if that works.

Haha, yeah game mode turns off most post processing. Glad I could help! Most TVs that claim 120hz are actually just adding synthesized in-between frames and don't actually run at a true 120hz, and I think that is the case with the model we have -- it can't really be pushed beyond 60hz. I don't understand it fully, but I'm sure someone else could explain.

I think it was a limitation of HDMI at the time, although I'm not sure on that.

Oh, they're only 300? I guess that makes more sense. I thought I saw someone say 600. The UltraSharp 30-inch I bought on Amazon was 1100. I'm thinking of getting a second one in a few months, putting 'em side-by-side, and then mounting my old 22-inch on the wall above them for ultimate ridiculous movie-hacker decor. Note: Not a hacker.

For what it's worth the 30" Korean monitors aren't anywhere near 500-600 the last time I looked, they were up over $800 which in that range it'd be better to go with a Dell sale or HP. There used to be some that were in the mid 500 to 600 range but they've all went up from what I can find.
