I'm going to pull the trigger on a Korean monitor soon. This one looks very attractive: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Perfect-Pix...=item20c5cc7231 Is there any reason I would want the Catleap model more? It seems to be a $50 difference. Also, I noticed that eBay is offering a 3-year Square Trade warranty on it for $50, which seems reasonable giving the shipping concerns. How does warranty fulfillment work with Square Trade, also is there any way I can coupon code that ST warranty?

low-key-taco posted:Anyone bought one of these Korean displays with HDMI ports on them? It would primarily be for the desktop computer but I do toss a console on my current 24" on occasion and I wonder if it'd be total crap on the ultra high res Korean monitors. Does it have a scaler? I thought the reason they were so cheap was the lack of scaler. The native res is too high for consoles, so it won't even show if there's no scaler.

Cream_Filling posted:I'm tempted to pay the extra $80 for one with a scaler and a return policy. It seems to be sold out in a lot of locations. I don't have any near me, but I could make the trip to Boston, or perhaps ask my mom to grab one in Philly before the next time she visits or even in NJ or Yonkers on her way up. However, all four stores are sold out, and I'd have to guess there isn't a steady stream of them. So good luck. I think I'm going to break down and buy the Pixel Perfect Potalion, I just ordered a GTX 670 and I'll need to put it to use.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120911008070 Just pulled the trigger on this. It's not guaranteed pixel perfect, but its cheaper and so is the SquareTrade, so its like I'm saving about $50. Just hope I get a good one. Also its Catleap over Potalion, which seemingly should be better? I dont know, maybe it still has the chance to overclock or something.

Shaocaholica posted:How's the color on these? Viewing angles? It's an IPS so supposedly good, but it may take some calibration. I, of course, don't have it yet since I literally just ordered it today. Thoom posted:SquareTrade doesn't cover dead pixels, do they? No, but they cover it if it breaks in 3 years, since shipping it to Korea for warranty service is basically not feasible. I think you'll just get the value of the monitor back, since they probably won't service them.

I got my Catleap in today. It's awesome so far, but it sits too high. What is the best way to lower it? I can't use a clamp, since I use an old metal office desk that has no over-hangs. Mine was also from GreenSum. Oddly enough, 4 of the pins on the DVI cable were bent, but I have another one I was gonna use anyway.

I could only find one on Monoprice and it only supported up to 24" but I have a feeling it might fit. Still, it's around $50 for a maybe. $50 for one I know will fit and works well is more than acceptable.

So, I've run into a strange problem. On my new Catleap monitor, when I try to play certain games, the cursor is not accurately showing. For example, in Mount and Blade, it just sits in the lower left quadrant. Menu items will highlight and operate correctly, but the cursor isn't moving at all. This is a huge problem, because I can't move around on the world map competently at all. In BF3, the cursor shows in the wrong place, but moves properly. This is rather annoying because if I have to adjust menus or choose who to spawn on, its now showing in the right place and it takes a lot of trial and error to get there. What is going on here? The game resolutions are set correctly.

Josh Lyman posted:If you can "move" the cursor so that other screen elements change (highlighting, being selected as you say) but the cursor itself doesn't move, that sounds like a software issue, not a monitor issue. Maybe try reinstalling/changing the drivers? Figured out what it is. Since this monitor is so huge and the pixel density is high, I set the Display settings to Large - 150%. Apparently that fucks things up. Medium - 125% still works fine, 100%, of course.

Stan S. Stanman posted:How is gaming on the 34" monitor? I have a 970 and I need a new monitor. I don't game nearly as much as I used to, but when I do it's usually an mmorpg or fps game. The total input lag could be better. TFT central puts it in class 2, which isn't great but it's not bad. I think I'm going to hold out for either a 27" or 34" gaming IPS once they're released. I mean, I spent $600 on a 980Ti, what's another grand?

xthetenth posted:Where struggles is somewhere between 30 and 60 fps in demanding games. It's really a question of whether you want to pay more for that framerate, because it's still in acceptable territory for a decent number of people. If you mostly mainline games from steam sales, waiting for Arctic Islands/Pascal is likely the more cost effective route. If you want to buy the newest games and eyefuck yourself with buttery smooth pixels, a Ti is what it'd take. It certainly is acceptable for most people, even I would be fine with it for the most part. However, that comment was made in to context of upgrading to 3440x1440, where that 30-60 would become 20-50, which is way less acceptable.

Hambilderberglar posted:I can wait a while, unless the panel delamination starts annoying me a lot more than it does currently.

Hambilderberglar posted:Is gsync that big of a deal that not having it makes the monitor a not-buy? ips and 144hz I get, but what does gsync offer me? I'm not particularly sensitive to tearing, and honestly, 60hz is probably completely fine for me. The issue is I want low total lag (which is like processing time of the monitor itself plus pixel response) for gaming. I currently have a Korean 27" IPS which definitely has some lag, but its not horrific. So, if I refuse to step backwards in any dimension (size, resolution, color/IPS, lag) then I have to go with one of these gaming monitors. The thing is, there aren't a lot of low total lag monitors out there, and most of them are grouped with Freesync or G-sync, so I might as well get the G-sync since its better tech and Nvidia cards for the most part are better. I mean, I've already invested $600 on a video card, I may as well pony up for a monitor that doesn't lag.

I'm pretty torn between what I think will be a better monitor for me, a PG279Q or a Acer Z35, as someone who has a 980 Ti and refuses to go dual video card and only cares about gaming. Of course, neither are out yet and prices are still up in the air, so I'll keep waiting.

Cephalocidal posted:I'm starting to get the impression that the reason I can't find an XR3501 anywhere is that the Z35 Predator due out in December uses the exact same goddamn panel and Acer just straight-up bought the factory line out from under BenQ. Am I right? Should I be pissed? The reviews for the BenQ are only a few months old, but I also couldn't find any to buy. The Z35 is a better product though, if anything it at least has built in a USB hub and G-sync. VulgarandStupid fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Oct 16, 2015 |

dy. posted:Are there some better 144Hz G-Sync/ULMB IPS/VA options coming out between now and Christmas? Thinking of pulling the trigger on a XB270HU but I can wait if there's something better in the pipeline. I may even a prefer a 24in option. Acer has the z35 coming out for about $1000, 35" 2560x1080p 144/g-sync VA. They also have a 34" 3440x1440p IPS 75/g-sync which will be about $1300. Asus has their version of the same thing coming as well that will probably overclock to a higher amount of hz, but details are more scarce.

BurritoJustice posted:You can get a Crossover 2795QHD on ebay for $300 that craps all over every other 1440p monitor up until the 1440p144Hz offering. Is the general consensus on these that they have less motion blur than the older Korean Monitors? I have a Yamasaki Q270 which apparently has good input lag, but when you swing the camera around on first and third person games it can make things hard to spot. If that's the case, I may just grab one of these instead of going in deep on a g-sync. TrueChaos posted:So basically this one? I'm reading about instances of dust behind the screen, lots of dead pixels etc. Are these issues overblown? I think this is the old model, the 27qd, not the 2795. I don't think it's flicker free.

I can see the QNIX 2710 on the comparison chart which performs slightly better than the BenQ, is the Crossover a step up from that? I think that review was for the q2710 with multi input. Multi input always have high lag. The single input was supposedly much better.

Hikaki posted:It's pretty great. If you're already going to spend like 600-800 bucks, you might as well go the extra 200 to get Gsync. It's not worth the extra cost on a cheaper monitor though. I'd say it's on the lower end of the nice features that monitors offer these days, behind high refresh rate and resolution and maybe even low input delay. Kind of like the icing on the cake; I would get a really nice cake first before getting really nice icing. Probably a harder question to answer, but how noticeable is the difference of having g-sync vs just having a higher refresh rate, say, at least 96hz?

While I doubt any of these monitors will be on a significant sale for Black Friday, wouldn't buying it on said date lock you in for that price, allowing you do exchanges without returning/rebuying?

Right now I'm sort of leaning on the Crossover since it would cover both gaming and art needs. Does the Dell have better color reproduction or do Crossovers tend to have higher dead pixel counts or something? The Dell probably has better inputs and color out of the box, and the stand is much nicer. I'm not sure which models are calibrated out of the box, though. That said, the Crossover will have less input lag, can overclock and is cheaper.

That monitor or perhaps Freesync in general is limited to 75hz. You could shut free sync off and go up to 144hz. It's quite silly and forces you to play a guessing game about where your average FPS is going to fall. G-sync really seems to be the better technology.
