Anything that runs good in 1080p should run well at 60%-75% Render scale for games with that option. Looks a lot better than 1080 scaled fullscreen and in action games isn't very noticeable from 1440p especially at framerates over 60.

I dunno. it wasn't constant when I did it it was tearing. 120hz would probably stop dipping as well but Overwatch has some annoying delays with alt-tabbing to a different refresh rate so I prefer to leave it in windowed fullscreen, which probably costs me some frames in its own right.

My GPU can't push 1440 at 144hz in Overwatch, but in motion at 144hz I effectively can't see the drop in image quality that 75% renderscale causes at a normal viewing distance. I have to stop to be able to notice it. If I'd sprung for G-sync it would be running around 110 fps and I wouldn't have to worry about it. This is on a GTX 1070 btw. Higher res is important for some things(MOAR BLENDER PANELS), but when it comes to first-person action games(compared to say, top-down MoBA games) the high framerate is importanter.

The main perk 240hz monitor isn't the marginal increased motion clarity but the fact that 240 is essentially the holy grail of perfect film and video frame timing should Peter Jackson's dream of 48fps cinema come to life. (fat chance) Or the holy grail of 3D shutter glasses running at 120hz per eye (fat chance again) 240hz is a resounding meh with other technologies like strobing backlights (lightboost) and LCD overdrive around.

So you can daisy-chain out to an HDMI port converter after a lengthy cable run? Neat. Wish my monitor had a daisy-chain port now. That's hot.

This is what happened when I screwed up my EDIDs in the windows registry. After I ran DDU and reinstalled graphics drivers it was fixed. Also the pins that transmit the EDID data could be damaged. Custom resolutions should still work if supported, failing any other fix.

I got this one a few months back. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AI2YGK4 No slick bearings or all metal construction but It's super cheap but it's sturdy.

I got a 27" and it's as big as I'd ever want to put on a desktop VESA arm mount.

DUDE this happened to me with my new monitor. Luckily my intruder was just a midge fly and after a day and a half (curse low power LED backlights) that dude was cooked and fell out. Afterward I popped my monitor apart to fix a small crack in the bezel and put some electrical tape around the panel's metal shell to prevent any critters creeping between the layers again. I really lucked out not having to pull the layers apart to clear it out. They really should come taped from the factory for exactly this reason.

1440p is super nice simply for the fact that 1080p screenshots on messageboards don't blow up your entire screen anymore. As far as gaming, the best way to go is to run in native resolution and tweak the "Render Scale" slider down as needed. I bought an underpowered GTX 1070 not knowing that 6 months later I would want both 144hz AND 1440p. Whoops. No regrets though. The screen real-estate is a great help for work and art and Heroes of the Storm objective timers lol.

Not to hijack or necro or anything but I've gotten a cheap 3D vision kit off eBay recently and I'd be very interested to know if you got anywhere with this. At some point in the coming weeks I'll get to poking around my monitor with a scope to figure out if I can cobble together a working signal for the VESA sync cable. I was really frustrated at first when it appeared to just not be working but that all turned out to be driver issues. I can clearly see the shutter glasses phasing in and out at this point.
