    2015 Samsung 4k TV as a Monitor Set Up Guide

    Just bought a 55" JS8500 and am unable to do 4:4:4@60hz@4k with a GTX960. HDMI UHD Color is on, and PC mode is set on the input. Tried HDMI cables as short as 3' (Amazon Basics). Really at a loss for what to try next.

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    The 650D is just a renamed JU6500. Costco / Best Buy / Fry's tend to have different named panels to change price points. As far as I want, is to do 4:4:4@60hz for desktop (and gaming when video cards get better) and have 24p support for video content from blu-ray / HD files: JU6500 [flat] //...

    For those who bought Haswell. Was it what you expected?

    Just to follow up with my soundcard issue, Gigabyte has informed me that any Haswell motherboards must have PCI 2.3 compliant cards or better in order for the PCI slots to work. My Auzentech Meridian 2G is unfortunately PCI 2.2 compliant and isn't even detected. Oh well, time to find a new...

    For those who bought Haswell. Was it what you expected?

    As you can see like the posters above, Haswell is a very odd to overclock. Tthe highest clock I can get that is Prime95 stable is 4.4GHz @ 1.25V (in BIOS). I have a Noctua NH-D14, and temps are still very reasonable in Prime95 as you can see. I was unable to Prime95 properly at 4.5GHz and...

    For those who bought Haswell. Was it what you expected?

    Got a stable oc at 4.4GHz @ 1.25V, with 9-9-9-27 ddr3-1866 memory on my Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC. I'm unable to get my PCI sound card to work in either slot though, so I am using onboard for the moment. Really unsure how to proceed with the problem, as there really hasn't been much Haswell...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    Well as the post starter I thought I'd give a follow-up. My 750D has been getting worse and worse with the DisplayPort issues and I've finally had it. I've contacted Samsung and have been escalated to their care department, demanding a replacement 950D to be shipped. Honestly this is the very...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    When I swapped DP cables I still got the monitor dropout issue. Would be interested to see if it still happens to yours as well. It's been discussed multiple times in this thread. From what I've read it's an AMD only issue, and nvidia owners get another issue of the optimal resolution...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    Mine also will intermittently lose signal with the same error as people have said above. I tried two different cable swaps that I had around the house, to no avail. I have a Radeon 6870, so it could very well be an AMD only issue? I wish there were a more consolidated discussion of this issue...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    it looks like the displayport issue was due to the cable i was using, which was a $6 cheap cable from amazon prime. i have since hooked it up to the samsung dp cable that came with the monitor combined with the altaz dp to mini-dp converter (located here...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    I have had the intermittent issue once in a while of the DisplayPort cutting out and saying not recommended settings which requires a power cycle. I however am constantly updating my video card drivers and am currently running the 11.10 preview2 driver. Not sure if its the screen itself or the...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    In the menu of the monitor you can disable auto-detection and force it to stay on HDMI or DP based upon whatever you choose. I'd force it to HDMI then power cycle the monitor and turn the blu-ray player on.

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    The monitor does not come with a DisplayPort cable. I bought a 6 ft. cable from Amazon Prime for $7. The monitor does come with 3D glasses. Also, it has the same screen as the 950D however the base is a different style. I haven't done much with 3D on it however from what I've seen in the...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    Today while reading some discussions about calibrating the S27A950D (which has the same screen / menu system) I noticed that I was getting some bad bright greenish ghosting that was noticeable during lots of movement on the screen in 2D movies and World Of Warcraft. I started messing with the...

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    Yes indeed it does. This is the exact reason I bought it. It looks wonderful and after a good week of being on, I can safely say that I have seen no burn-in discoloration or anything affecting the panel negatively.

    Samsung S27A750D 120Hz

    I can confirm the monitor only has HDMI and DisplayPort, and I am not sure if HDMI is capable of the bandwidth required for true 120Hz.
