    HDMI out for audio only possible ?

    Extended desktop is what I'm doing right now. It stinks because an app will sometimes open on the phantom display and I have to switch to the HDMI input on my monitor to find it and drag it back to the left. I have optical out on both systems but it's restricted to 2 channel audio (I have...

    HDMI out for audio only possible ?

    Hello all, I am trying to use the HDMI out on my nVidia cards for audio to my receiver. I cannot use it for video as run 2560x1440 and my monitor required DVD DL for this resolution. i both Windows and Ubuntu I have to enable the DVD and the HDMI out to get sound which is a problem as it...

    Yes the Matrix Neo is glossy. It uses the same LG panel. It is quite close to the Crossover 272MDP. In fact, the OSD on these are identical.

    Your best options are the Crossover 2720MDP or the Matrix Neo 270WQ Multi / DP HDMI 1.4a. The 1st one has been around for a while and is a safe choice. The 2nd one is cheaper and has the HDMI 1.4a support. I own one of each and they are great General Purpose Monitors and good for PC and...

    I ordered both of mine from Accesorieswhole and while FedEx said it could be up to 6 days it was actually 2 ( I live in LA). Fedex is cautious in their estimates. Let us know when you get yours. I think you might be pleasantly surprised.

    Just got home and checked. It is 24 Volts and 5 amps. Why do you ask ?

    I'll check when I get home tonight. They use the same as all the other Korean monitors I believe.

    I just ordered and received my 2nd CROSSOVER 2720MDP GOLD LED that was listed as having an A+ panel. Seller was accessorieswhole. This one did not have a pivot stand so the stand is a bit more flimsy (the pivot stand on my other A+ Crossover is really solid). Again, I got a great screen with...

    One thing I did notice is that mt transformer block gets VERY warm. Almost too warm to touch. Anyone else experience this ?

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    Yes. I did not want even the most remote chance of dead or stuck pixels or color uniformity issues so when accesorieswhole advertised a monitor with an A+ panel (atypical for these monitors) that had the specific features I wanted (a scaler) I figured I was getting something better than the...

    Was yours advertised as an A+ panel ? If so I should think that a blue tint would be unacceptable.

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    Just pulled the trigger on CROSSOVER 2720MDP GOLD LED​ PIVOT Perfect Pixel Funny thing is that the seller (accessorieswhole) says that this particular batch has A+ rated panels from LG. I know that this runs contrary to the wisdom of buying these monitors from Ebay. The seller...

    Choosing a 24 inch IPS Panel

    I have the Asus PA246Q and like it. It was hard coming off a glossy display, but if you read the main thread about this monitor some users say they feel that the AG coating is less aggressive on this one. I'm sure there is info on the input lag and response times out there int the prad.de...
