Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Mine arrived in excellent condition. No dead or stuck pixels. Turnaround time was unreal. Domestic shipments always seem to take longer than this did.
Will be nice to have the extra screen real estate!
I purchased one yesterday from the ebay link for $335. I'll let you know how it goes.
It was a bit reassuring that the seller emailed me and told me he would be checking the monitor personally for dead pixels prior to shipping. He also made sure I wanted DVI port.
That is a very good start...
You can always just write a few autohotkey scripts and map whatever keys you want in a few minutes on any keyboard you choose. Keep that in mind.
They can be specific to what game you are playing if you like and not universal.
It took me a little while to get used to the smooth scroll option, but it can have its advantages.
For some reason the G500 was always a bit tougher for me to control. (still using mx 518 from logitech).
Price definitely caused me to go for one of the Korean models. The way I figure it, I can buy two of them and still come out cheaper with a decent panel.
I haven't read through the whole thread, but in my experience, I have had the best luck with larger monitors. I have several 27.5" monitors and I find myself straining much less.
Also, it makes a huge difference for me to have light hitting me from behind rather than shining in my eyes at...
Consider the I-Inc 28" for 250.00. I currently am running dual 28" and am considering adding a third. 1920x1200 is nice to have the extra vertical real estate. Cheap enough to buy two.
Edit:
Brought GPU back to Microcenter and am testing replacement HIS HD5450 currently.
Can remove thread or I will add details of resolution later.

I managed to get the system up and running nicely with both the 460 and 9600 installed. I am now working off three monitors and could easily run a fourth!
Danny and ClearM4,
Thank you both for the clarification. It made my task much easier knowing what limitations I have and what to expect...
Thanks for the response reaper. Based on your post, I have a few other thoughts and concerns.
I don't intend to game on this unit. For work and HD movies mainly. Given, that, it might open up another can of worms, but I would like to find a card that is relatively quiet. My 460 is too loud...
I bought a couple of MX518's recently and also own an MX revolution. I'd test a G700 out before buying.
I could have bought any of them and easily decided to stick with the MX 518. Seems more accurate to me than my G500 or any of the adders I have played with.
I would like to run either 3 or 4 monitors off of one computer and am looking for the best way to make it happen.
I currently have an Nvidia EVGA fermi 460 as my primary GPU.
I also have two other GPU's,
1. GeForce 9600 GT
2. GeForce 8400 GS
and with them three monitors:
I-Inc 28" 1920x1200...
