Korean monitors?

[OneGun]

Is it worth it to buy a Qnix monitor from Korea only for the OCing ability? I was thinking of buying one tonight from eBay . the only good thing is that I can get a square trade 3 year warranty. What are your guys takes on OCing a 1440p monitor for gaming?

On the last live stream Linus mentioned that although you can OC the refresh rate, the monitor could still look bad because of the colors / pixels, etc. I personally have no experience with them, though.

That's right. You are pushing the LCD liquid to be faster than what it can be. It can't catch up.

If faster than 60-75Hz IPS panel could actually be done, then trust me, it would have been released in a heart beat. Especially 120Hz, for 3D TVs, and gaming.

Sadly, it's not possible.

Thanx for your constant negativity..If it is not possible how can they have 144hz lcds if you said they would be pushing the lcd liquid to be faster then what it can be..People have been pushing things to go faster for ever..I OC my gpu and cpu faster then what they are suppose to be lmao..But by your logic that is also not possible?

good question. TN panels can be made to be faster. I cannot say what is the technological differences between a 60Hz TN and a 120/144HZ TN. But I can only guess that they use a more responsive LCD liquid in the panel, that have been developed, much like MVA panels, to be able to reach the needed response time to get such high refresh rate.

 

While you CAN have a 120Hz IPS panel, (I never said you could not) the LCD liquid of each pixel can't catch up to the information it receives. It doesn't turn fast enough. So you'll get strange results, potentially even not seeing some frames as they'll be blurred out by the slowness of the LCD liquid.

 

The fastest TN panels is faster than the fastest IPS panel by a large margin. While IPS panel did some massive improvement, generation after generation in being faster and have a response time that can actually match 60Hz worth of information. It's sadly, not fast enough for 120Hz.

 

Personally, I expect that in the next 5-6 years, we will see true 120Hz IPS monitors.

O well i took a risk and just bought a QNIX for $317..I will update on my OCing adventures with my QNIX..
