I want to get a new monitor and currently I'm looking at one that has a refresh rate of 48-144hz with freesync. I've read that LFC allows freesync to continue working below the lowest refresh rate of your monitor as long as it's 2.5x less than the maximum refresh rate. For those who have...

If someone has this can they please post a pic of the IPS glow of this monitor, if you have any.

Best buy is probably your best options. You get free shipping and you can return to the store within 14 days if you're unsatisfied for ANY reason.

Regardless, the amount of glow in certain corners varies as seen by pictures taken looking forward at the monitor. A lot of people have their bottom right corner glow a lot more than the other corners while other people have other corners glowing more. Corner glow is relatively random in its...

Looks very interesting. Hopefully it doesn't have super bright IPS glow like the u2412m.

Correct, I should have just said there is a high chance of very noticeable IPS glow. There are some u2412m's on this thread that have relatively low levels of glow overall, but they're exceedingly rare it seems.

If you bought it from best buy online, you can return it in any best buy store. I did the exact thing with my u2412m. However, if you bought it on best buy marketplace, you have to contact the seller of the monitor. Personally, I'd wait for better less problematic models to come out. There...

Just return it to best buy, they have no restocking fee and you have 14 days to do it. Or exchange it there, but I don't recommend exchanging it because it seems like most u2412's sold today have issues with IPS glow in the corners.

Hopefully you get lucky with your u2412m. A lot of them have horrid IPS glow in the corners.

Will that let me raise my volume higher than windows allows me to? Also, is there a possibility that it will introduce hissing to my sound?

When I plug my headphones into the audio port on my motherboard, I get no hissing or anything, so I guess I'm going to use that unless the crackling occurs after hours of use... I'll let you guys know what happens. So it definitely was my old speakers causing the hissing problem.

I'm only going to be using headphones. If I get a sound card I'll probably upgrade to a 5.1 or 7.1 headset. Will I still get hissing if I don't use an optical output and just use the regular colored audio inputs?

Ok, I tried my mom's higher quality bose speakers using the same audio jack and there's no hissing at all with my cheap earbuds and still noticeable hissing with my high quality earbuds.

My temperatures are fine and my drivers are up to date. I posted my specs above and will try DPC latency once the crackling returns. As mentioned before, crackling only occurs after several hours of computer use.

For the hiss, - It goes up when I turn my speakers up only. - Stays the same no matter what I'm running on my PC - Stays the same regardless of windows audio volume. - Sounds the same through speakers and with using earbuds. Also, my higher quality earbuds magnify the hiss. For the...
