  1. I have been waiting for about 3 weeks for my two STRIX, and half a year for the Mad Catz R.A.T Pro X to come on sale. And I hate waiting. Last year it was the ROG Swift.

  4. Congrats! I have been a subscriber since the early days of NCIXTechtips. Keep up the good work And lastly, i love Thai food.
  5. Here's JJ from Asus with a detailed explanation of everything G-Sync related. I believe he mentions that OpenGL is supported but the driver must be supported for that particular game. [media] [/media]
  6. Shouldn't be a problem. The main difference between DP 1.0 and 1.2 are higher bandwith, and with it, the ability to run higher resolution displays, like 4K.
  7. Your HDMI cable doesn't affect latency. If you have picture your good to go. As for the latency issue you could try setting picture mode to game and turn off all picture processing features like "Motion Clarity Index" MCI and Triple engine and similar options.
  8. Have a look at this. http://shop.xtzsound.eu/shop/eu/subwoofers/xtz-99-w8-16-matt-black
  9. As it happens my parents own a 8000 series Samsung smart TV. And i have connected 4 different laptops to it using HDMI with no issues. They also have an older 40" LCD Samsung in the guestroom which, surprise surprise, neither have any issues using HDMI. The option of renaming the input on the TV is there so the user easier can differentiate the input. Be it a DVD player, an Xbox, a PC or whatever else you have. Renaming the input does NOTHING. The update frequenzies that the TV makers give you is BS. What that frequency refers to is usually how "fast" the image processor in the TV is. And this is where most of the input lag in a TV comes in. The display is 60Hz regardless of what they say. We probably won't see TV's with higher refresh rate than 60Hz/fps until OLED gets more mature. The fastest displays we have now are only able to display 120Hz to 144Hz. No, my TV isn't a smart TV. And it is a 60Hz panel like every other TV. http://www.amazon.com/Sony-BRAVIA-KDL-55EX500-55-Inch-Black/dp/B0035ER1IW/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1408217698&sr=1-3&keywords=kdl+55+ex Currently i own a Dell 3008WFP and a 24" Benq monitor and have ordered and are waiting for the new Asus ROG swift for my gaming PC. (edit, the link was wrong.)
  10. I might have been a little harsh when i said to not listen to you. I am deeply sorry for hurting your feelings. As for my experience with using a TV as a monitor for my PC, it goes back so long that my first HTPC setup involved S-VHS cable from my Geforce FX 5200 connected to a 32" tube TV. Yes, i'm old. My current setup is a 55" Sony connected via HDMI! As for making you understand that VGA is obsolete and need to die, Linus has made a video explaining all this for you on Techquickie. VGA isn't even supported on newer AMD graphics card. Renaming the input??? WHAT!? Are you trolling?
  11. Please, do not listen to this guy. DO NOT use VGA! Using VGA will actually in most cases increase the input lag because both the graphics card and the TV will have to convert the signal. First from digital to analog in the graphics card, then from analog to digital in the TV. If the picture doesn't look right when using HDMI, then there is probably some settings that is wrong or a case of a bad/broken HDMI cable. There is no such thing as a "special" HDMI port that you should use for PC connection. Your GTX 780 will have no problem running the TV as the resolution is only standard 1080p.
  12. The front facing speakers is cool. And the dbrand skin looks awesome.
  13. My favourite feature of this G550JK must be the included subwoofer.
