My 1.5 year report: Still working great. No burn in that I can notice. I mainly do development work on it, web browsing, and occasionally gaming when I find the time for it.

Looks nice. Good price too. I'd wait for some reviews to show up first though.

It does take a few seconds to turn on, but it just displays the Phillips logo during that time. Very occasionally, it displays garbage and flickers for a few seconds before displaying content, but it only happens with my Macbook Pro, never with my PC. The panels might be physically the same...

Windows 10 has per display font smoothing settings, so it's not a problem (I have 2 RGB monitors and 1 BGR). I have font smoothing turned off on my Macbook Pro, which is my work computer (connected to only the Phillips when I'm at home). That looks fine as well.

Sure is. No issues that I can see. I use it for multiple hours a day for work (been working a lot lately). In fact, I'm using it right now!

No compromise.

Forgot to mention, I also have a Win 10 desktop, with 2 RGB monitors on each side of the Philips. Also not a problem, as Windows 10 allows for per monitor font smoothing settings.

I have a Macbook Pro, which is RGB. I just turn font smoothing off. Looks fine to me.

Tried to run the game at 4k, and my rig immediately keeled over :( Had to settle on 1440p Ultra (except anisotropic filtering at 16x). Frame rate seems to be pegged at 60fps so far.

Unfortunately, overclocking is always a gamble. Sometimes you win, some times you lose.

I'm in the exact same boat as you :( Except I don't have G Sync on my monitor.

Maybe I missed it, but what resolution are they running at?

Just got my 1080 in anticipation for this game. Hope I can run it at 4K with Max settings.

That's dedication!

Just checked. It looks like the voltage is pegged at 1.081V under load.

OC wise it's a lottery. There is no guarantee (mine only hit 2000). I'd just get the cheaper one.

I can't remember what the actual voltage was. I'll have to look when I get home. I don't think I want to do a hard mod though.

I maxed out the power and voltage sliders in Afterburner (108 power, +100% voltage). I later lowered the voltage limit to +75% once I settled on 2000. How did you remove the power limit?

Gigabyte G1 here. The best I could get is 2000 on core. 2050 core causes artifacts in both Valley and Fallout 4 (red or white "snow" that pops in and out). Lowering it down to 2025 removed all visible anomalies in Valley, but in FO4, while the artifacts are mostly gone, it still occasionally...

I tried that. Memory overclock had no effect on the artifacts. It's entirely caused by the core overclock. EDIT: Tweaked it a little more. Realized that I lose fps beyond 450+ on the memory. So settled on that (5456 mem).

Good for you! I also got mine today and have been tweaking it. Unfortunately mine doesn't seem to overclock well. It was stable at 2050 core / 5500 mem in Uniengine Valley, but had red/white "snow" artifact in Fallout 4. Had to reduce the clock down to 2000 to get rid of the artifact. I thought...

If you are willing to turn down a couple of settings (like AA), 4K should be definitely doable with a single GTX 1080. That's what I'm doing anyway.

GTX 1080 now or wait for Vega?

15% frequency lift would be pretty large for the same uarch. Keep in mind these are not CPUs, where traditionally there are many parts of the chip that are custom designed for max frequency. One of the reasons GPUs can be released at such a fast cadence is because they are for the most part...

OP here, thanks everyone for your input! I decided to just enjoy what's out right now instead of waiting for the next big thing. Just ordered a Gigabyte G1 GTX 1080 :)

Perhaps I should wait until Deus Ex is released later this month and see if I can play it at a reasonable fidelity level. If so, I'll wait a little while longer to upgrade. If not, then I get a 1080. By then the 1080 stock should be more stable. Thoughts?

The Titan X, in my mind, goes over the perforce/value threshold so I won't consider it. You guys make some good points. It seems like I should at least wait until October to see what's on the market.

I generally like keeping my GPU for a while. I mean, I'm still running my 5-year old 7970 :p

That's a good point. Price is not of huge concern, but I also like to not spend frivolously.

I'm just concerned that I won't be able to run Deus Ex and Dishonored 2 without greatly reducing the image quality.

No FreeSync or G-Sync. I'll only be gaming on the 4K monitor in the center. The other monitors are for productivity only.

While that would be amusing, it's not one of the options :p

Voodoo 3 2000 PCI GeForce 256 SDR Radeon 8500 Radeon 9600 XT Radeon X850 Pro Radeon X1950 Pro Radeon Radeon 3870 Radeon 4870 Radeon 5870 Radeon 7970

Here's my situation: I have a 4K monitor that I got mainly for work. I don't play games nearly as often as I used to, but every now and then I still find time to enjoy it. My GPU (Radeon 7970) is getting long in the tooth, and clearly can't power most modern games at 4K (though it seems to do OK...

3Dfx Voodoo 3 2000 PCI :p

Same here, no problems so far with mine either. Now my problem is to whether get a GTX 1080, or wait for Vega or 1080 Ti. I don't have time to play games often nowadays, but I still enjoy playing every now and then. I definitely want to play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided when it releases later this...

I just turned off font smoothing in OS X.

The whole thing is overblown. I have a BGR monitor and have no real image quality complaints. I work in OS X and play in Windows 10.

Is the dot permanent? Good luck on your replacement!

Since I work from home fairly often, I'm pretty sure I've hit 100 hrs of usage.
