Posted July 17, 2014 120hz, IPS and 1440p. Now that is why I call near near perfect, does it support display port 1.2a for activesync? That's a pretty big downside of this monitor. Only comes with Dual-link DVI. I for one would have preferred Display Port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 17, 2014 That's a pretty big downside of this monitor. Only comes with Dual-link DVI. I for one would have preferred Display Port. Yeah since I'd be investing on a better monitor and relegate my current 720p display to my secondary one I rather wait for that. ------- Current Rig ------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 17, 2014 This is not a crappy korean panel, they are using the LG IPS panel You are of course aware that Korean ebay brands buy their panels from Apple, Samsung and LG specifically? They are essentially these manufacturer's b-stock panels brought into the consumer market by a third party. In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 17, 2014 Only dvi is a deal-breaker to me and it isn't even 120hz out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know they are the same but they are B grade panels and often have issues like dead pixels or flickering or bad controllers or whatever other issues can arise I hope this company are using A grade as they say.

Posted July 17, 2014 These monitors have been around for quite some time and they are not good by any means first of all nearly all of them will have coil whine when you OC them to 120Hz but its not over thsese guys (overlord) are known to use crappy controllers or no controllers at all. you thought it was over NOPE these İPS panels they use actually suck every balls in africa A GRADE my ass for the love of elephants stay away from these monitors. You should really do some research before saying something like that to avoid looking like an idiot. This uses an LG ips panel. And other korean monitors on ebay get panels from Samsung and LG.

Posted July 17, 2014 They are A panels. As someone else said all these IPS knock off's use the same two panels anyways. Apple Cinema's are LG. Hell this would be the Apple Cinema Panel used on Imac's. Literally the same monitor, with a different stand. There is even the mic hole that is unused (that Apple uses) on the monitor. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=114&cp_id=11401&cs_id=1130703&p_id=10509&seq=1&format=2 Overlord has a better stand though and they are overclocked. They are nice. Probably best monitor you can get until the inevitable 4k/freesync/ips/high hz. All depends what you do. Some like TN, some like IPS. Personally I really like IPS. That said the glow on corners on ips can suck and drive some people crazy (especially those who watch a ton of movies on their monitor), and dead pixels is a risk on the non A plus panels. When you are talking half the price of a Apple/Dell though it is worth the risk and some time shipping back and forth. Really all depends on the return policy. Add to that calibration. Many of the knock off's initial settings are just horrible. If you have some spare time though and can calibrate yourself these monitors can be a hell of a deal.

Posted July 17, 2014 Too bad it couldn't be about $350 If you're complaining about a $100 price difference, then I suspect you never planned on making a purchase regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 17, 2014 Too bad it couldn't be about $350 This is still at a highly aggressive price point. If ASUS made a monitor with these specs you could expect it to easily be twice the price. Then again it would look a lot better and have an excellent warranty so... Idk.

Then again it would look a lot better and have an excellent warranty so... Idk. Pretty much. The non overclocked LG panels they use in brands like Apple and their cinema are a grand. These are half the price and overclocked. These are the same panels just A instead of A plus. Some of the knock offs are like A- and lower and that is when they get sketchy. .

Posted July 17, 2014 So it's 120hz.... but does anybody know if the ghosting / pixel blur is bad? And does it support low-persistence? What about variable refresh rates? The perfect monitor, we might be closing in on it guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perfect monitor, we might be closing in on it guys. That's another concern of course. Even if actually does 120Hz (many of the korean panels actually just dropped frames left and right when you oced them) then how good will it actually look? The technology behind IPS is simply slower than TN, period. If the pixels just blur into each other because they can't switch fast enough for the actual refresh rate then it'll be pretty useless. Again, waiting for more reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 18, 2014 This'll be a very blurry experience. I already think "1ms" TN panels have too much motion blur without a low persistance hack, this'll be atrocious.
