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.

Just ordered my Dell UHD 24 Monitor UP2414Q
I've upgraded to a Dell M6800 laptop, which has a K3100M video card. I'm pleased to report that this drives the UP2414Q at full res and full refresh, and the glitches I remember from a few years ago have almost entirely disappeared. It will also drive two 4k monitors at full whack from the... -

Just ordered my Dell UHD 24 Monitor UP2414Q
For the time being a workaround for the Nvidia Control Panel is to test the custom resolution and during the 15 second test period, kill the control panel process. The monitor will be left at the chosen res. Currently running 3720x2160 @ 39Hz. There is an occasional glitch so I might reduce... -

Just ordered my Dell UHD 24 Monitor UP2414Q
Some more notes on overclocking this monitor. The firmware lock that restricts it to 30Hz (or at most 31Hz) seems to only apply at full resolution 3840x2160. You are free to create custom resolutions with different refresh rates. Using Nvidia's tool, and just entering pixel size and refresh... -

Just ordered my Dell UHD 24 Monitor UP2414Q
A few years ago I switched from the UP2414Q to 5k and then 8k monitors at work, but having to work from home means I'm again using the UP2414Q. This time I am driving it from a Dell M6400 laptop. This has a Quadro FX 3700M video card and has DisplayPort but not a new enough DisplayPort to... -

First Impressions of the Dell UP3218K "8K" Monitor
Some notes on the fault I observed with my UP3218K. A horizontal strip about an inch high towards the bottom left corner of the display shows 'washed out'. Black and white are okay there but colours appear only partly saturated. See the two attached photos of the Windows login screen; its... -

First Impressions of the Dell UP3218K "8K" Monitor
Just to add some more information to my earlier notes on driving this with a Quadro P600 card. So, I accepted that 8k with the P600 is "not supported" -- and moreover, that it didn't appear to work in practice. I went out and bought a Geforce 1060 card with two DisplayPort outputs. After... -

First Impressions of the Dell UP3218K "8K" Monitor
I just got one of these and I am trying to drive it with a reasonably priced video card. (I don't play games or do other GPU-intensive stuff, just text and basic 2d stuff like web browsing.) Currently I have three 5k monitors (Dell UP2715K) and I am hoping to replace one or more with the... -

Dell 27" 5K Monitor (5120x2880)
With the ambient temperature dropping below about 24 degrees C, the line of stuck pixels on my faulty UP2715K has returned :-( -

Ouch, you're right, discontinued! And so is HP's Z27q. Philips have this: http://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/275P4VYKEB_00/brilliance-5k-lcd-monitor-with-perfectkolor/specifications but searching for it often turns up other Philips monitors by mistake. -

Dell 27" 5K Monitor (5120x2880)
Actually, I bought the monitor cheap with the known screen defect, so I'm pleased to find that it fixes itself when it warms up. I have three other UP2715Ks which haven't developed any faults in the past year or two of use (if that anecdote has any validity). It does appear that "they don't... -

Dell 27" 5K Monitor (5120x2880)
One of my UP2715Ks developed a display fault - a vertical blue dashed line running down the display. But then the fault disappeared again. Perhaps a dry soldered joint which got connected again when the monitor warmed up and some things expanded with the heat? Has anyone else seen something... -

Dell 27" 5K Monitor (5120x2880)
The scaling has changed again in Windows 10 Creators Update. Now the older font scaling mechanism dating from Windows 3.x has been removed from the settings app and control panel. The only choice appears to be the new-style scaling. (The 'custom scaling level' looks like it would be the... -

Dell 27" 5K Monitor (5120x2880)
...and now this monitor has been officially dethroned as the highest resolution one you can get, by the hopefully-on-sale-in-a-few-months Dell UP3218K: https://hardforum.com/threads/dell-8k-32-monitor.1921738/ -

Dell 27" 5K Monitor (5120x2880)
That must be the reason - but from my experience such applications, while surely there are many, are not that likely to come up in everyday use. Pretty much everything runs fine with 200% font scaling, which I have been using since Windows XP. (Non-integer scaling factors like 150% are another... -

Dell 27" 5K Monitor (5120x2880)
Some more notes about font scaling, this time with Windows 10. It does not give you the option to turn off Aero. There are two different ways of setting the scaling. The one it tries to make you use has the advantage of being set independently for each monitor, but it doesn't work that well -...
