Best monitor for what? There is no best monitor for everything.

If you are planning to run 3+ monitors then SLI 4GB cards would be the way to go. Otherwise I'd get the 690. I don't have GTX680 experience, but I just remove a pair of GTX580s to swap in a 690 (on water). There may be slight measurable performance differences between 680 SLI and a 690, but...

I just put a EVGA 690, EVGA backplate, and Koolance waterblock together yesterday. Screen went blank and PC locked shortly after installing the drivers. Fortunately I had AIDA64 up and saw the GPU temps were over 100 C. I took it all down again and saw that the blocks weren't touching the...

And this morning I thought the only 27" 1080p IPS was the LG IPS277L. Now there are 3 on the way.

New review of the LG out in the uk: http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/3116/lg-ips277l-bn-review-lgs-latest-generation-ips-monitor It looks pretty good, although the BenQ may be a better choice if you think you will play any FPS games (revised version). The LG has preorder info up but it...

There are plenty of page translation options. Here is one: http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=ko&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.playwares.com%2Fxe%2F23624550 The revision is actually a bit faster, surprisingly.

If you haven't gone through test images to set monitor brightness, contrast, sharpness, color, and driver gamma; then I can guarantee you it is not accurate or "great". With the exception of the rare factory calibrated high end monitor, all monitors have distorted settings out of the box. If...

This may help you see what I mean: http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Glossary/Digital_Imaging/Gamma_01.htm

I'm saying that default gamma may be wrong for your monitor. When gamma is too low, you loose all your "pop". It may illuminate your room, but it won't look bright and colorful. Go through those test images in order and adjust as needed. Season with a little vibrance if you like at the end...

Your gamma is too low and/or your brightness too high. It looks like a mostly gamma issue which can also give washed out colors. Run through these tests with default vibrance, then add vibrance if you need to. I add a little vibrance (60ish nVidia) to help with colors in 3D, but if you need...

Heh, I thought you gave up? If you are interested enough to poke around forums about it and can watch a 3D movie comfortably, it's a pretty safe bet that you will like it. Even if you don't, having a 120Hz monitor is a nice asset for a gamer. I've never seen a 3D PC demonstration so...

Let's say in one version they code 2D clouds and put them in the background. That will look fine in 3D. 5 years later a new version of the same game is made, but this time the team put the clouds at screen depth. That might look fine in 2D but it would look stupid in 3D, ruining the...

User reviews and forums are a better source than the main nVidia list. nVidia will only tell you how it looks out of the box. Some games can be "fixed" with simple tweaks and some are hopeless. Typically what will ruin a game is a mixture of 2d and 3d effects or objects, especially if they...

Some don't care for it, but I think 3D can be worth the sacrifice in performance (fps) and resolution. Game compatibility is getting better, but some games are poorly encoded for 3D and not worth the trouble. Also the performance hit and input lag can be significant, so competitive FPS gaming...

If you want to do games in 3D, nVidia 3D Vision is probably the easiest route. Right now the best 27" 3D Vision compatable monitor is the ASUS VG278H or HE, both TN 1080p monitors. If you aren't super picky about color fidelity I think they would be your best bet for 27" 3D. You might be able...
