Yamakasi 30" IPS 2560x1600 - Any Experiences
- Thread starter 1000
- Start date
i have it 1 dead pixel on the far side but ... I can see a yellowish tint against white background on the left side down side and right side ... It is very disappointing and annoying. ...
i prefer my q270 for gaming, more 16:9 resolution avaible after 1080p than with 16:10, less input lag, and 1920x1200 on 30 is blurry..., 2560x1600 is better but look worst than 2560x1440p on q270,
other things Scaler is odd , i have more input lag at 2560x1600 than with 1920x1200.
and it's not a question of framerate, it appear either on windows desktop.
the screen made an annoying buzz with brightness on maximum or minimum.

I ordered one to compare side-by-side to my S27B970D. I am in a tight spot for money right now so I wanted to see if the 970 was personally worth the extra $500 over the Leonidas. I've ordered very recently 3 Q270's and they were all superb for the price.
I have a Spyder4pro calibrator I will use to calibrate it and get it as close to the 970 and see which one I prefer (undoubtedly the 970 will win) - and I will decide by how big the difference in quality is for the price.
I will, of course post an overview of it as well. Hopefully I don't get a dud plagued with problems.

Hello,
I bought and have received one of these.
I have posted a few images here;
http://www.overclock.net/t/1279770/...30-lcd-s-ips-panel-2560x1600/30#post_17732858
(Not sure on rules linking to other sites, but...)
Just out of interest, are there any applications that can test monitors? Run diagnostics etc.? I'm interested in calibrating the monitor to try and make it perfect, but don't really want to spend the cash on the hand held device I have seen touted round.
It is a matte finish - having read around a bit I still cannot tell whether this is a good thing or not. I kinda feel like I would prefer a matte finish when doing office work/programming, but glossy when playing games/watching films if that makes sense. Best of both?
Overall I am pretty satisfied with it, even after taking into consideration the extra fees... But I should point out any 30" monitor for that price would have probably satisfied me unless it was broken or just truly dreadful. Others who have worked with 30" monitors of better quality might not be so pleased.
Games seem to play ok, although I am waiting to plug my second HD6870 in before getting too carried away. Half-Life 2 has been a pleasure thus far though, even whilst sitting reasonably close.
The extra screen space is fantastic, much more than on 1080p, as you would expect.
Any questions please fire away

Try playing at 1280x800. See if half the resolution means the scaler turns off or not.
Also, small review from paul:

How are these for programming? I have a q270 but I want a second large monitor and some point and this would be awesome down the road.

Is it glossy? That's the only thing I don't like about my 3011, is the AG. I also own a Crossover 27 that I use for work, and tbh I prefer the picture quality on that.

Looks fantastic! Btw, can you confirm the backlighting? All the eBay listings say "LED" but there were some reports on OC that they were CCFL backlit.
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but im very interested in this monitor.
my only question is: I currently have my gpu (780) going into my receiver by hdmi, and from that to a screen.
Is there any way I can get 5.1 audio if I get this monitor? or any similar 27/30" 2560 x 1xxx monitor?
looking to upgrade from my 23" 1080p (tried my 32" hdtv 1080p but it seems fuzzy)
im kind of a noob when it comes to monitors
Thanks!
edit: hmm, I found a different version of this monitor... it seems they finally did HDMI 1.4a which can do 2560x1600 w/ 5.1 audio flawlessly. this multi-input monitor costs about $100 more though and doesnt seem to have the "pixel perfect" thing which worries me a bit... espically since its from korea...
link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IPS-Yamakas...3577?pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item3f23fb5549
again, im sort of a noob when it comes to monitor (barely knew the difference between glossy/matte LOL)
I want it mostly for gaming and secondly for web-surfing.
What do you guys think?

huh? yes of course! you should tell us what you plan on doing as there are many ways to do this, but the easiest is probably just to use the video out on your receiver if you have one. i think most newer ones have one.
other options are:
1) get a splitter that splits hdmi A/V into an hdmi video signal and a 3.5mm jack audio signal
2) run an hdmi cable to your monitor, disable the sound on the monitor either via the software for your card or by muting it, and then running a separate sound cable to the receiver using either a 3.5mm jack cable or a digital audio cable.
3) use dvi dual link for the video signal to the monitor, and hdmi or a 3.5mm jack or a digital audio cable for sound to the receiver.
there might be other options but they will be similar to or combinations of the above solutions.

You do realize these are wide gamut monitors and will not display colors properly right? If you want the games you played to look the way the artists intended do not buy one of these.
Everything will look over-saturated and inaccurate (sun burned skin tones) because consumer media is not designed for the Adobe RGB color space.
All of the matte models have very grainy matte coatings and IPS/PLS panels blacks are too light so they look gray on displays with glass, especially these 30" monitors since they have poor contrast by default (600-700:1 vs 900-1100:1 on the 27" 2560x1440 monitors).
Get a 27" instead.
All matte 30" except for the Dell 3014 have the same coating as the 3020MDP. This image shows the affect of different kinds of coatings
http://www.overclockers.ru/images/lab/2013/04/18/1/33_kristaleffect_big.jpg
Notice how unclear the 3020MDP looks compared to models like the Dell U2713HM (550$).

meh, thats like an audiophile saying they cant listen to music on anything other than their $500 cans. yes there is a clear difference to some people, but to others it will sound exactly the same. i game on a matte 30" gateway, and i dont have any problems with the colors whatsoever. not even noticeable to me, let alone something i would spend 3 times as much on a monitor to "fix".
it is something to keep in mind though DF-1, as if you work with graphics or colors or have a sensitivity to them it may actually be an issue to you.
Wide gamut left, sRGB right

There is a big difference. Get a good monitor and the difference will become noticeable.

take your misleading pictures elsewhere chump. the better image on the right is the side of the face with light on it, and is much clearer for it. the left side is not and therefore looks unclear and dark. this completely dishonest way of taking a comparison shot emphasizes the difference between the two sides and makes the one on the left look much worse than it is. he should have taken a shot of someone or something with the lighting coming from the front instead of the side to give you an fair comparison, or the same image on both screens side by side. what you want to pay attention to is the middle of his forehead RIGHT along the bezels where you can actually compare adjacent pixels that are both in the light. this will give you a little bit of an idea of the color difference.
DF-1: even with a fair comparison, if you put two monitors side by side they will look different. this applies to ANY two monitors that are not the same model, calibrated to be the same. whether you like one or another is all subjective. unless you are really picky about "accurate" colors such as a graphic designer or artist, you probably wont care in the least. personally i value refresh rate, screen size, resolution, and price all WAY more than i value color accuracy. its completely a non-issue for me as it's not even noticeable unless you have a better screen right next to yours or as i said, are picky.
thx 4 t3h lulz...ignorance is bliss so who cares about quality or if the content we view daily looks normal.
My picture isn't misleading, it is quite accurate (both monitors were calibrated). My light is barely off to the right, not going to remove it from the ceiling and re-position it so you can feel better about your purchase.
These 30" monitors are poor purchases for 600$ when superior models like the Dell U2713HM goes on sale for 550$ and the Qnix & X-Star 96hz+ capable PLS panels can be purchased for 300$. These 27" monitors have more accurate colors, better black levels, grain free matte coatings and glossy options as well (Qnix & X-Star).

whether or not the jump from 27" to 30" is worth it is up to the buyer. personally, i love my 30" very much and would be hard pressed to downgrade to a 27". i just take issue with your comparison. i am not talking about the light in your room, i am talking about the light in the tv show youre watching. the light source is on the right side of his face making the left picture look way worse than it does. very dishonest.

NCX is giving you sound advice, and you make him out to be trying to mislead you. However NCX, most people wouldn't ever notice the difference unless they had 2 different models in front of them, so let them be happy with the WG monitors.
However NCX, most people wouldn't ever notice the difference unless they had 2 different models in front of them, so let them be happy with the WG monitors.To each his own. While you may prefer the extra screen real estate despite inaccurate colors (which you don't notice, so it's not even a problem), others (like NCX) do notice those inaccurate colors so any 30" on the market would be terrible in their eyes.
Your analogy using audio was spot on: if you can't readily distinguish between a pair of $1000 speakers and $100 speakers, there's no need to spend extra money.
as for myself, I would love the extra screen space of a 30" over a 27", but I can't stand IPS glow at all and 30" have more glow generally (at least of those I can afford...) than 27". I even returned my 27" because of the minimal glow it had....wish I still had my CRT

yeah i consider myself lucky im not an audiophile or a color accuracy snob (do you guys have a name for yourselves?
) since it makes my life a lot cheaper. most people are like me i think, and wouldnt know a good pair of headphones if they saw one (hence the huge popularity of beats by dre.) my main monitor is a 30" gateway that i found broken and baked to fix it (later paid $300 for the controller board because i baked it so many times it stopped working altogether, still a good deal) and my headphones AT AD500s that i got for under $40. lots of people on this forum have thousands of dollars in monitors and hundreds in headphones.i am just saying that anyone who is buying an expensive sensory output device should first determine how sensitive they are with that sense before making a decision so they dont either spend way too much, or leave themselves disappointed with a less quality product than they need. just telling everyone that they need to buy a high color quality monitor is irresponsible, you should instead inform them of the higher quality options and let them see what they like. and i still dont like that picture that you used because you have two completely differently lit images on the two monitors which skews the results to make the difference more dramatic than it really is. there is DEFINITELY a clear difference when you have them side by side, i just dont think most people would ever look at the sRGB monitor by itself and have a problem with its color reproduction.
Unless you're in need of colour accuracy for photo/video editing, you don't need anything better than one of these. Seriously getting picky if you're average Joe Bloggs can't stand the 30" monitor because the skin tone looks slightly different to a proper professional monitor?!
I appreciate where NCX is coming from, he does have a valid point, but 95% of people will be perfectly happy with something like the Yamakasi 30".
