I wanted to report in real quick to say I did some tinkering with the FreeSync range to see if I could extend it, since 48-75 is a pretty limited range. I heard issues about going above 75hz, so I instead opted to lower the bottom range using Custom Resolution Utility. I went as low as 30, but...

Yes, noticeably higher for me when tested again my Acer XF270HU IPS display. Even when on the desktop there is perceptible lag when moving the mouse compared to other high end gaming monitors. This small difference in input lag can be a big deal in competitive shooters like CS:GO. You can also...

Input Lag is noticeably higher than 144hz TN and IPS panels, but it's not terrible. For hardcore twitch gamers playing CS:GO or Dota, it could be a problem. For most other uses, including single player games or controller based games, it's not going to be an issue. Plenty of Fallout 4 and Rocket...

Just go the monitor tonight. One issue I'm noticing is that the Gaming - Freesync preset (which is required for Freesync to work), massively blows out certain colors, especially greens, and no amount of tinkering with the RGB or contrast settings seems to fix it. Photo and Text mode look fine...

Ok thanks! Also, how is the anti glare coating on the monitor? Is it a light AG coating? Medium, heavy, etc.

Could you take a picture from a few different angles, or even a video showing the change in gamma/black crush from different angles?

For those of you who own this monitor, how is the black crush that VA is known to suffer from? Has HP done something to minimize it?

And the evidence continues to pile up.....

Because they get snatched up as soon as they become available for MSRP? :/ And......vacuous lies? Lol? Yes, because I have such a huge incentive to vacuously lie to you.... For what it's worth, here is a quote from a HardOCP review from today (the same website that originally reported a higher...

So, first off, I'm not the person who originally posted the "I think..." post. I'm just defending the guy. Second: "It was that your stance of 'something something something something, I dunno if X is true' is boneheaded when you compare the original advertised MSRP of $US399, with any price...

Well, this is unnecessary combative. What price the sellers are selling the cards at is not a "fact" that proves the MSRP has been raised....it could just mean that retailers are selling the cards above MSRP, same as always. :/

Good luck with that. Ordered one from them over 3 weeks ago....nothing yet.

Nope. That's my plan as well. Just sharing for others who might be willing to drop $500 on a non ref 290 since it's a (relative) deal compared to Newegg's $599.

True. Also, 100 less than most places right now (IF it's even in stock) for a non ref 290.
