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.

1440p IPS screen with good contrast?
It isn't 144hz, sorry. I'm using the Q3279VWF, which is only 75hz. I wish Panda made 144hz VA panels though -

1440p IPS screen with good contrast?
Honestly I'm tempted to ditch 1440p and buy the AOC 24G2U for that 1400-1500:1 contrast. I'm wondering why these Panda panels haven't been used more in mainstream products, I love the one in my 32" AOC as well -

Gsync setup for 4k 40-65hz? Fast sync??
G-Sync should activate when you drop below 66fps, if you have both it and V-Sync enabled. I would probably go with regular V-Sync for more performance intensive titles, ones where you are likely to be under 66fps a lot anyway, and Fast Sync for games like CSGO where you can easily achieve 2x... -

Is setting in-game refresh rate redundant with adaptive sync?
Yep, just leave it at 144hz, it will change itself. There's still a reason to cap at for example 100fps to keep gameplay consistent, if you feel like it, it's just more convenient to have the refresh rate adjusting to the framerate by itself. Personally I would just enable Fast Sync instead of... -

Nvidia's started supporting FreeSync
Since the bitcoin mining went down, AMD's cards offer good value in the mid range. The driver suite is also insanely good now: - The UI looks great - Overclocking, voltages, fan profiles, even memory timing presets directly in the settings´ - Ingame overlay, with performance metrics and toggles... -

166Hz Has Ruined 60 fps Forever
Honestly I am fine with 60hz (using a 75hz monitor currently). The biggest problem at lower refresh is tearing or the input delay associated with fixing it. Luckily Freesync / G-Sync and Fast Sync / Enhanced Sync for high fps games mean that this is less of a problem these days. This is sadly... -

27" 1080p
I tried the Samsung C27FG70 at one point, but ended up returning it. I was very pleased with the performance of the panel . Obviously it won't have the fastest response times or the most vivid colors, compared to TN and IPS, but it is fast enough and with good enough image quality that it ticks... -

High Refresh Rate G-Sync Question
If you're used to 60h with no adaptive sync, a high refresh one, with or without G-Sync, will look amazing to you. You might as well grab G-Sync while you're at it, with the budget levels mentioned, but high refresh alone is a godsend for tearing and smoothness. Personally I like VA types more... -

Best Reviewed A-MVA Monitor Thread: Read the 1st Post
This is a thing with the curved 144hz Samsung VA panels (so nearly all 144hz VA monitors, all the curved ones use these panels), but it doesn't apply to VAs in general. Probably not an issue with the denser 1440p 27" ones Samsung make -

AOC 31.5" 2560x1440 IPS
I bought the Q3279VWF on preorder (good free return policy) , solely because of the 200€ pricetag and the posibility of getting an affordable 32" 1440p 75hz Freesync monitor that just works (the HPs have delay and frame skipping at 75hz with Nvidia cards). Other than the non-adjustable stand... -

Blue light reduction for your eye safety
Just no, the blue light scare is overrated. If I recall AOC included some cutting of certain blue light wavelengths in their low blue light tech, but other than that every company selling monitors just cut some blue digitally in their "low blue light" modes, similar to what F.lux or Windows... -

Semi-gloss 4k VA
My guess is they just wanted to bring a stupid cheap 32" on the market, and they got hold of batches of last gen TV panels to do so. Probably the same deal with the D8 model. It isn't perfect by any means, slower pixel transitions than modern desktop monitor VAs, ICC profile required for good... -

Semi-gloss 4k VA
The AOC Q3279VWF uses a near glossy coating. The last monitor I tried was a matte coated Samsung C27FG70, so I was pleasantly surprised about this one. The Q3279VWFD8 AOC recently launched uses an IPS panel, and I'm not sure abaout the coating. You'd have to settle for 32" 1440p, and I'm not... -

Pixio PX329 32 inch 165Hz WQHD 2560 x 1440 w/ FreeSync
Typical budget monitor stuff. Usually the panel will be good, for example this one as it is almost certainly the same one used in the LG 32GK850G. But then you have the issue of Pixio designing and advertising it as 165hz, which this VA panel probably isn't really fast enough for, and I wouldn't... -

27" vs. 31.5" help me decide
As much as I like my 32" 1440p monitor, I'd have to say 27" 1440p is the alround safer option. 32" is definitely enjoyable. I love the ~92 PPI, making it usable with no scaling in every situation, as you can just lean in, and there's a good amount of space for side-by-side windowing on the...
