X-Star DP2414?

[stampedely]

This potential 'god' is only €160. I don't mind one or two dead pixels presuming they're not in the center of the screen, but I don't taking my chances if this really performs. I'm looking for someone who has more information on this or has a personal experience with it to hopefully be able to answer some questions. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Perfect-Pixel-X-star-DP2414LED-Full-HD-Gaming-Monitor-24-144Hz-/331620416893?hash=item4d361dfd7d:g:YIwAAOSwgQ9Vn4lZ

 

Is it any good at overclocking? 

 

I heard a rumor that only the DVI port outputs 144hz on this monitor, sounds like a load of bs, but is it true?

 

Is it enjoyable to look at, or does it strain your eye after awhile?

 

I know X-Star is a semi-legitimate brand so I don't have any issues about buying from them, it is just that there is not a whole lot of information floating around about this monitor.

If I was to pursue purchasing this it would be in a dual-monitor setup, therefore I'd be buying a pair. I know I don't need two of this make but I am a bit OCD about my setup, therefore I would get two.

 

Thanks

They are looking for $40 for shipping on the Asus and I'd also prefer something new, the AOC is €60 more each, money sort of is an issue for me.

bear in mind you might have to pay import tax/duty/VAT on the imported X-Star

The eBay page doesn't say anything about that, I think it would mention such thing, Oh and I forgot to thank you for taking your time to look for a couple panels for me, thanks.

 

I am a little stuck with getting new monitors, I know I want a 144hz monitor but money is an issue. I know I could save up a bit longer for different panels but I am tight on money and whatever cash I do get will probably be spent on other things.

Woah, sorry.

 

That is odd however, it doesn't say such a thing for me. And the 'see details' part only mentions where they ship to.

I might be wrong, you might be exempt, I have no idea

I believe it is a possibility that I could still get charged customs charges but due to it being Asia, I don't think I would be charged. I am trying to get in contact with a reddit user who is a consumer of this product, if he replys I'll make sure to ask about customs charges.

I got some information! I presume monitors go under the free section  As do most electronics!

That panel may be able to overclock past 160 hz.  Use toastyX custom resolution utility, not the Nvidia control panel.
