It's one of the cheap-o panels that they put together in Korea with the rejected apple screens.  The X-Star one.  27 inch.  I did a grey test to look for dead pixels and backlight bleed.  None of either :)  right now I have it set at 100 Hz.  I'm MORE than pleased with this thing!  I ordered it last Monday.  1 week from south Korea?  That's pretty reasonable to me! and can't beat the price!  Skyrim time! haha

I have the Qnix which is the same thing and I love it...You should OC it to 120hz and use a custom 120hz color profile found here..

Looks like I may have gotten a bit unlucky with this one.  I love it and it looks great but doesn't look like it wants to go past 100 Hz.  I'm totally fine with that haha.  A huge upgrade from my 60 Hz panel.  I'm loving this thing!!!!!!

You should try a 24AWG Dvi cable..They are cheap at Monoprice if you are in the US...Let me know if you need a link.

What GPU are you using?Did you patch your drivers?

could you send me a link to a good seller? Or are they all about the same...?

I used the cable that came with the monitor.  Is that really something that would make a difference?  I have a 780 and yes, i'm using the most up to date drivers.

Cables are hit and miss with these..I mean for $10 its worth a shot..If not then you should run at 96hz so movies look smoother due to the 24fps mode movies are shot in..And then use a 96hz color profile from the websites i linked.When OCed these monitors loss Gamma and the profiles correct that.
