Christ, they don't make 24" IPS monitors with a decent variable refresh rate. I'm loathe to give up my Dell UltraSharp U2412M and go to a 27". A 24" and a 27" side by side would be kinda weird.

Not even 144hz, but yeah higher than 60hz. I might just go with a giant rear end 35" display and figure out a way to fit both.

The monitor I ordered Friday which had an estimated day of delivery for 12/3 is arriving today :pwn:

I've been pretty happy with the CFG70 I bought around Black Friday. Easy to fiddle with the settings to get the colors right where I want them, FreeSync is great, sharpness is decent.

Only thing I've noticed: the monitor gets pretty hot. The power button is on the back (???) so when I go to shut it off, the panel on the back seems warmer than it should be. Is this normal?

Maybe this is the wrong thread but my brother gave me his older dual monitor desk mount. It has a bracket on each arm with screw holes but the monitors I have don't fit on either side and the screw holes don't line up.

Do I need to purchase a compatible bracket so they will fit or is there a chance the mount is just old and won't work at all? I have a CFG70 and Dell U2412M.

Unless it's a total oddball thing, most monitor stands/arms fit VESA mount holes in the monitors. There are different sizes, however:

You may have 75x75mm and need 100x100mm or something like that. There's generic adapter plates like this that provide more holes than you can usually use to adapt one to another as long as they're standard sizes:

Ah yeah, looks like both monitors are VESA 100x100 but I don't think the mount brackets are the right size.

Are the holes on the bracket farther or closer to center than the monitor holes? If closer, it's probably VESA 75mm.

Looks like the bracket on the monitor stand is too bag, the holes on the monitor are closer together than the holes on the bracket.
