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.

Displayport cables must not use pin 20 (warning)
Just a note for anyone having problems with non-compliant (pin 20 connected) DP cables. A quick and easy fix is to take a very thin (about 1/16") strip of electrical tape, and wrap it around pin 20 on one of the connectors. Pin 20 is the one closest to the angled notch in the connector. As... -

BenQ BL2710PT Review: 2560x1440 Matte AHVA (AUO's Version of IPS/PLS)
Which is especially crazy considering the CAD is only at 92 cents US right now. That, and it's the first time ever that anything was cheaper in Canada than the US... ;) I'm sure it'll drop there too soon (or go back up here). -

BenQ BL2710PT Review: 2560x1440 Matte AHVA (AUO's Version of IPS/PLS)
Wow, that's considerably worse than the first one I got, which I returned. New one is fantastic though. In Canada, bestbuy.ca has it for $599, with even easier returns than Amazon. -

BenQ BL2710PT Review: 2560x1440 Matte AHVA (AUO's Version of IPS/PLS)
Looks like this monitor has dropped in price, possibly due to the 28" 4k announcement by Dell. That's only 30Hz though, so the 27" Benq is still the best option for me. $600 at most places in Canada now (down from $750 a couple weeks ago). -

BenQ BL2710PT Review: 2560x1440 Matte AHVA (AUO's Version of IPS/PLS)
Awesome, got the replacement and it's perfect. No noticeable backlight bleed. (Maybe the tiniest bit on the left side, but so subtle I'm not even sure it's there.) No dead or stuck pixels that I can see. Nice and uniform. Beautiful! :) Colors look good with NCX's recommended settings here... -

BenQ BL2710PT Review: 2560x1440 Matte AHVA (AUO's Version of IPS/PLS)
Just got mine. Looks good, but it's got at least 4 stuck subpixels, and significant backlight bleed on the right side (not glow), even with brightness at 20-30%. Guess this one's going back to Best Buy for another round of panel lottery. -

OK cool, thanks again! -

BenQ BL2710PT Review: 2560x1440 Matte AHVA (AUO's Version of IPS/PLS)
Thanks for the response. To make sure I understand, the standard mode does have 100% absolute sRGB coverage, right? That's my understanding from this screenshot: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/images/benq_bl2710pt/default_gamma_mode2.jpg From here... -

BenQ BL2710PT Review: 2560x1440 Matte AHVA (AUO's Version of IPS/PLS)
@NCX: I'm trying to understand why the BL2710PT apparently has 100% sRGB coverage in standard mode, but only 81.6% in user mode, as per your review. I'm obviously missing something here, but if the monitor is capable of 100% coverage, why would it be artificially limited in user mode... -

Thanks for the info! Can you elaborate on why it isn't possible to limit to sRGB, given that the R, G, and B levels can (as I understand it) be controlled individually? Given that and the fact that the monitor is advertised as covering 100% of the sRGB space, shouldn't it be possible to... -

HP Z30i
Do you still have one on the way? Looking forward to confirmation on this and the overshoot. Also, some more general questions. Are there any spectrometers/colorometers with software that can write LUTs to be used by Display Assistant directly (kind of how you can automatically load a LUT... -

Dell U3014 REV 03, should I consider it?
Agreed. Given the Z30i's slower grey to grey time I assume it doesn't have the extreme overdrive, but do you know for a fact that the overshoot is better? That's why I'm planning to return my U3014s... (Although it's going to be tough going back to 24" while I wait for the z30i!) -

HP Z30i
I'm interested in this too. One encouraging factor (ironically) is that their stated grey-grey response time is 8ms, slightly slower than the U3014's 6ms. (The Lenovo Lt3053P is also 6ms.) Both the Dell and the Lenovo achieve their response times with massive overdrive, which results in...
