Completely black screen in a darkened room is the typical scenario for looking for backlight bleed/IPS glow. This video in fullscreen is a popular method. Thanks for your comparison so far!

Thanks for your impressions! FYI, New Vegas can be made to run in 3440x1440 and at a custom FOV with an .ini edit: http://www.wsgf.org/dr/fallout-new-vegas/en

Looks like we'll have a VA option sometime next year: https://pcmonitors.info/samsung/samsung-s34e790c-curved-ultrawide-va-monitor/

The whole curve thing seems promising in terms of minimizing IPS glow, but I worry about image distortion. At least when it comes to projection, curved surfaces introduce visible "bends" — e.g. 25 sec into this video (the bottom menubar is absolutely straight in-game) — even when...

Maybe try with a different DisplayPort cable? I've seen others say they solved their out-of-range issues that way.

I guess it's going to be a while until one of these come out with some flavor of adaptive sync. Gearing the Dell towards gamers at 60hz seems a bit silly to me.

Looks like the Philips display is starting to show up. BDM3470UP.

I'm confused. Are you saying something like Color Profile Keeper would not work?

I couldn't say. I'm sure you'd get a good answer over in the Intel MoBos section or one of the Z77 threads.

Primarily because of the FIVR (on-die VRM). Essentially Intel has integrated what used to be part of the motherboard VRM onto the CPU, which means the architecture for feeding it power has changed. The Anandtech review has all the details you could possibly want. :)

Well, it's going to be between this AsRock Z87E-ITX, the Maximus VI Impact, and EVGA Z87 Stinger audio-wise. Await reviews.

If you want feedback, I think the "ncase" in front looks fine or even nice, but the "M1" is positioned a little oddly, floating in the middle of nowhere on the side panel not aligned with anything. Hardly a deal-breaker, just my 2¢.

As much as this board isn't quite for me overall, I certainly appreciate the move to better audio. The ALC889/892/898 chips just aren't that great and in the spirit of SFF I'll take an internal solution over an external DAC any day. Seems like added value to me. The cooler clearance is...
