    Amazon returns?

    Amazon has always been great with monitor returns for me. Only downside is it can take up to a month to process your refund now.

    Acer X27 4k 144hz HDR Gsync

    My X27 came in from Amazon the 3rd. Everything was fine until I noticed a few rows of dead pixels on the upper right corner of the screen. Other than that it seemed like it would've been a perfect monitor. Fan was whisper quiet and no noticeable light bleed or IPS glow. It was a June build and...

    Shipping Notifications

    Amazon just delayed my PNY 2080 ti officially. No time frame for when it will ship. I may just wait for an AIO version now.

    Shipping Notifications

    I got my delay mail from Amazon for the PNY GeForce RTX 2080 TI XLR8. I ordered around 2pm before it was even listed on NowInStock.net. Odd thing is it is still listed as being delivered tomorrow the 21st by 8pm. My card hasn't been charged yet.

    Drat, I'm glad I saw this before picking one up.

    Nice, balanced, non fatiguing desktop monitors for $300-400?

    I replaced my JBL 305's with the Mackie MR624. They have a lot more detail than the 305's in my opinion. Mine are hooked up to a Asus Essence STX II and I use a Emotiva Control Freak for volume control. There is only a slight hum on the MR624's when I max the level knob on the back of the...

    Intel DZ68BC

    I have this motherboard and so far it's rock solid. No problems at all. Nice layout and have my 2600k OC'd to 4.5ghz at 1.29v. It doesn't have any fancy bells and whistles. Been running fine for the last two to three months. It has a nice warranty which in past experience Intel has been...

    ASUS VG278H - The weirdest backlight bleeding I ever saw

    Thanks for the info on the Planar, BababooeyHTJ. I guess I want the best of both worlds. Great image quality and speed. Not happening anytime soon from the looks of it. Everyone's eyes are different of course and I like image quality and the screen size of my new monitor more than 120hz and 3D.

    ASUS VG278H - The weirdest backlight bleeding I ever saw

    I sent mine back to Amazon last week because of the same issues. At first my only complaint was the horrible color banding and washed out colors, no matter how much I tinkered with the settings. Lucky for me Amazon gave me a full refund. I pulled the trigger and went with a Dell U3011 and...

    Possible upgrade from a Dell 2407wfp.

    Well shoot, not having much luck with monitors. Recevied my Asus PA246Q and it is full of dead and stuck green pixels. Oh well, hopefully the replacement I get doesn't have any issues. The monitor does handle games rather well. The colors are fantastic too.

    Samsung S27A950D 120Hz

    FinalJenemba, I think you're right about the bolt issue. My friend just got his, looks like Amazon has them back in stock. It has the same issue, but even worse than mine. It shows through his window's taskbar. Sad thing is everything else about the screen was great. No noticeable backlight...

    Samsung S27A950D 120Hz

    It's sad that Amazon doesn't have them in stock, but if it bothers you and if it has the potential to get worse, I would get the refund. Wait for them to get back in stock or buy elsewehere. I know it's TN panel tech, but for the kind of money this monitor costs it should not have this issue...

    Possible upgrade from a Dell 2407wfp.

    Thank you for the links, NCX. That Digital Versus review has me leaning more towards the Asus. Weird that I missed it doing a google search. Thanks again.

    Possible upgrade from a Dell 2407wfp.

    Hello, I'm in the market for a new monitor to replace my Dell 2407wfp. I primarily use my computer for gaming and watching movies. I've tried two 120hz monitors, but because of quality control issues they have been returned. Went through three Asus VG236H's which had dead pixels and the...

    Samsung S27A950D 120Hz

    FinalJenemba, my monitor had the same issue. It started getting brighter and brighter after a few weeks of use and started showing through all colors and distorting them. I bought mine from Amazon, but they don't expect another shipment for up to eight weeks so they did a full refund for...
