I decided to keep mine.
The only serious criticism that I have is that the AHVA glow on it seems more prominent than on the better IPS panels that I've seen, but I'm getting accustomed to it, and it's not intolerable or horrible.
I had been using a 37" IPS LG tv for the past 4 years, finally decided to get a new monitor and skipped 1440p.
Have had the Benq for 4 days and have mixed feelings. I can't detect dead pixels, and there is an acceptable level of Blb, but the IPS glow is more prominent than my TV, with more...
Hey, folks. Bumping an old thread...
I'm thinking of getting one of these used locally. I really want the original Cosmos because I find it to be the most visually appealing.
Now that some of you have had it for 5+ years, what are your current impressions of the case, especially its build...
Blame consoles! However, I think that it's a good thing these software developers are forced to maximize the potential of aging hardware. It's much easier on our wallets when we don't HAVE to upgrade annually just to keep up.
Although the two that I've had never developed any problems in the short terms that I had them, I wouldn't trust that or any OCZ power supply, no matter its efficiency rating.
Got mine for $89.99 CDN at NCIX a few weeks ago.
My only regret is that I didn't keep this chip a few years ago --it would have spared me a lot of wasted cash on building i7 systems that I didn't need!
Since you have it at 3.7GHz, why upgrade? New Intel sockets are too expensive for upgrades, IMO, until your current socket is too far behind (775).
What games and at what resolution do you play if the 6870 is still not enough for you? Try CrossFire?
