Thanks, but I don't want to go with a closed loop cooler, specially for this:
A last question please, how can I compare the heat created by i5-2500K and i7-4770K with my CPU? I'm asking this because most reviews test these CPUs and very very few test Phenom IIs. Those CPUs can reach up to...
Thank you very much, guys, for your replies! :)
Well, regarding liquid cooling, I'm on a budget and I'd like to have an easy to maintain system. I have ZERO experience with this cooling. Also, I've heard water cooling coolers are very noisy.
On a side note, I'm a bit worried about VRMs. In...
I currently have a Phenom II 955 and I'd like to push it moderately, let's say 3.6-3.7GHz.
My system has the following components:
- AMD Phenom II X4 955 Rev. C3 (max 95W TDP) at stock speed (3.2GHz).
- MSI 870A-G54 AM3 motherboard (not FX version).
- Kingston 4GB DDR3-1333 RAM (2 DIMMs on...
What about backlight bleeding? On the PA248Q it was horrible (I bought 2 PA248Q and send them back, now I have an Eizo EV2436W with ZERO backlight bleed). And is the PB248Q still using a 6-bit panel with advanced FRC?
You cannot go wrong with an Eizo, because they boast of having one of the best overdrive circuits in the market. I have read many reviews of Eizo monitors and all of them have a pretty well adjusted overdrive (they're not aggressive at all). This means there is no ghosting or corona effects...
@Krad1: I have ZERO bleed on my unit. I think yours is defective and you should replace it with Eizo.
@balnazzar: See my previous review in this thread. You'll notice my old EV2436W has much better uniformity than Krad1's unit. My new replacement has an almost perfect brightness distribution (I...
I have a EV2436W and I'm very happy with it. Although I don't play games, I think 9.4ms of lag is more than enough for RPG and adventure games, unless you're a hardcore gamer, and you'll notice no lag at all. If you're a hardcore gamer, it's highly recommended you go with a TN monitor instead of...
@Surlias:
I'm sorry for the late response, but I have been busy. Regarding the backlight bleed I would say it is not acceptable. My replacement has ZERO bleed (and I mean absolutely nothing). However, the IPS glow is another story. That's not a flaw, but a feature of all IPS screens without the...
Update on this:
Today, the seller got in touch with me and he told me Eizo have admitted all the issues: abnormal light sensor behaviour, firmware bug when changing the input signal and the 2 light patches described before. According to the manufacturer (Eizo), all of these problems have been...
Well, the german seller (olano.de through Amazon Marketplace) sent me a courier at no cost. The monitor is now in Germany under revision. I've sent a short report with the problems: bright patches (smudges) on the left side (not bleed), the abnormal behaviour of the light sensor and the possibly...
What a shame, I have bleed on the upper right corner. And furthermore, I've discovered 2 clear smudges on the left side visible under light backgrounds. I have to replace my unit, no doubt, because the panel is defective (not for the bleed, but the smudges). Your lower right corner is fine...
@Folex,
Do you have any backlight bleed on your unit? I'm just curious about that. As I've said in my 'mini-review', I have a little of bleed on the upper right corner (it's not severe though). You have to show a black background on low light conditions and set the brightness at about 30 in...
The AG coating of the PA248Q is aggressive, I had one in the past, but maybe you would get used to the coating overtime, like me with my current Eizo EV2436W. Both have the same panels.
