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.
I can confirm this worked for me, the update was stuck for a few days and I tried everything. Turns out disabling "Real time protection" in "Windows Security" fixed the issue. Makes sense considering the update is related to "Windows Security" itself.
At this point in time I would wait. Buying TN in 2015? Heck, I ditched TN in Jan 2007, it has always been garbage. It's like buying a membrane keyboard.
I've been toying with the idea of making the jump from 23" 1080p IPS to 27" 1440p IPS for quite a while. But now that these things are coming out, it all makes sense, this is what I was waiting for.
I wonder what kind of warranty Acer will offer with this, I'm spoiled by Dell Premium Warranty...
To access the factory menu, hold the top two buttons down while powering the monitor on. Once it is on, press the top button to bring up the menu. You can navigate with the two top buttons (up/down) and the third button (from top to bottom) is used to change the options.
This is what you get...
I agree with you there, I'm also not a big fan of the rounded edges, I prefer the classic 90 degree angle edges. The monitor looks a little less badass and more girly xD.
Let us know your values once you're happy with them, it's always interesting to know :D
You're right, 85 is a little red, there is really a gap there, the jump from 85 to 84 removes the red tint but if you lower it more it looks too blue.
I have lowered it to 84 and it looks better. So now I'm also using 84-90-95 ^^
I use the lower values because they are closer to the ones that the guys from Hardware Canucks used in their review and they knew what they were doing (they had hardware tools to measure the values). I also like the lower brightness and if for some reason you're suddenly not happy with the blue...
Keep experimenting with those values, I spent almost an hour tweaking them. If you get obsessive about it you are going to wish you had decimal precision xD. By the way 94 Blue looks pretty good too, it seems like all Rev A06 displays have similar color reproduction.
To compare the changes...
I completely agree, I calibrated colors manually and my result was RGB = 85 90 95
As results will vary from one display to another, a good way to do it is by adjusting the RGB settings with a white background until you get the white to be more "pure", as we have said, with no color tint...
Yeah I agree, it's a little more noticeable in low brightness, but that's the tradeoff for not having reflections. As long as you don't look at white backgrounds very close to the screen it's not a problem, but of course it's about personal preference. I hate any kind of reflections so I keep my...
The idea is to simulate print stock paper illuminated by D65 light at 120 cd/m2. What this means is that the monitor should show colors/images as close as possible to how you would see them printed on paper and illuminated by midday sun light.
It has no effect on image quality as the...
It's described in the User Guide, but there you go:
In other words, some useless stuff better left at default.
Some light image retention may appear if you leave the screen turned on for a lot of hours with the same image, but in LCDs it's pretty rare, so it should be the same as your old...
Congratulations! It's a great display I love it too ^_^ also very affordable (although I didn't pay anything as it was a replacement under warranty for a 2209WA xD)
The driver that comes in the CD included with the monitor is the same that is automatically downloaded from Windows Update, it's...
