    Brightness setting and eyestrain

    Set the monitor to match the room. Dimmer in a dark room, brighter in a bright room. As evilsofa mentioned, a bias light is the easiest way to make looking an a monitor more comfortable to look at.

    Acer Predator XB271HU - 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB 144hz

    I think I set mine to User with RGB = 91 / 91 / 100 to fix the yellow. Will confirm when I get home.

    CaseLabs decision/discussion thread

    I have a STH10, and would have bought the Mercury S8 if it were available at the time. Room for all components, two 360 rads on top, pump, res. I'm also a fan of the horizontal MB orientation. There's a lot of dead space -- and weight -- in my STH10.

    Bought a new 144hz monitor.. but wont display as 144hz?

    Common to confuse DVI-D with dual link, double check that it has the full set of pins: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/DVI_Connector_Types.svg/277px-DVI_Connector_Types.svg.png Are you using the cable that came with the monitor?

    When you watch 4K videos on a 1080p monitor is it really 4K quality?

    If your video player downscales correctly you'll get supersampling with 4 pixels resolved down to one. It can look better than a 1080 source. Although the content creator could downsample and distribute at 1080 for the same effect with smaller filesize. Haven't seen native 4K in person to...

    1ms 75-144hz Gaming Monitor vs. G-sync

    I have a VG248Q (144Hz) and upgraded it with the GSync kit. I think both high refresh rate and Gsync are 'never go back' features. As in, once you've been gaming with them you don't want to play on anything else. Unfortunately, it's difficult to demonstrate the benefits without having the tech...

    New G-sync Monitor

    I don't have any personal experience between the two. If I were making the choice I'd go BenQ. If you decide to buy one, get it from a store with a good return policy - you might not find this panel acceptable.

    New G-sync Monitor

    The 24" 144Hz screens are built for speed and decent image quality. If you want 1080p and GSync they are your only option. MistaSparkul is probably correct that these monitors use the same panel. The difference will be in price, manufacturer's reputation for customer service and quality control...

    High Refresh Rate LCD Monitor Question.

    I had a few minutes at lunch and ran some videos in full screen with my VG248+Gsync... The OSD reported it was in gsync mode and fraps' frame counter indicated 24 fps and 30 fps (matching the video). Didn't have time to try setting custom max refresh rates.

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Does that pattern appear with different OverDrive levels? Different refresh rates? I've seen pictures of other monitors with this problem but not so extreme.

    Questions about 120hz/144hz and 1080p/1440p for gaming

    I'm not sure of the samsung's pixel response time versus the BenQ. When I went from the VG236 (2ms) to the VG248 (1ms), moving text became slightly clearer but the color quality isn't as good. Strobing tech is incompatible with FreeSync and Gsync as it requires a fixed refresh rate. The GSync...

    Questions about 120hz/144hz and 1080p/1440p for gaming

    The s27a750d is an excellent 1080p monitor, the only reason to sidegrade it to the XL2720Z is for a strobed backlight. I also want to upgrade to 1440p and keep high framerates. I have decided to wait for the 390X and 980Ti to come out, then pair one with a FreeSync/GSync 1440p. Not sure if I'll...
