    Dell 27" 5K Monitor (5120x2880)

    What's your point? That anti-reflective glass causes blacks=grey? If so, I fail to comprehend how that is logically possible. The black level is dependent solely on the panel and backlighting.

    IPS Gaming monitor

    1. Not all TN panels are the same. 2. Not all IPS panels are good. 3. There are many other aspects of the monitor that you ought to analyse. Input lag, flicker-free backlighting, black levels, colour accuracy, contrast, etc.

    IPS Gaming monitor

    First of all, I question whether you truly need an IPS panel. Is it for the purported colour accuracy or colour gamut? Well, you'll be surprised to learn that quality TN panels can beat IPS panels in these aspects. Is it for the ostensibly better viewing angles? Well, TN offer decent...

    Dell 27" 5K Monitor (5120x2880)

    I think the most exciting feature is the anti-reflective glass screen though. "feature a glass coating for super-clear images, but has an anti-smudge and anti-reflective coating to it which really helps cut out the glare." Source: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_archive/31.htm#dell_up2715k...

    Intel Devil's Canyon: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly @ [H]

    Does this sentence make any sense to anyone??? "With the recent release of the Z97 Intel Express chipset, and Intel's communicating that it seemed a Z97 chipset motherboard would be required for Devil's Canyon usage, has surely left some with a bad taste in their mouth especially if you are...

    Crucial M500 480GB SSD Review @ [H]

    Is the Samsung 840 EVO 1TB slated for review anytime soon? I'm curious to know how the steady state 70/30 read/write performance as well as the latency of the EVO 1TB compares with the Crucial M500 960GB. Sadly, few other review site test for these two extremely important performance metrics.

    Dell U2713hm or Dell U2713H or soon Dell U3014

    That's just your opinion, don't make it sound as if it's a biblical truth. I can definitely notice the input lag of my U2713HM, which is tested to be faster than the U2713H. It's therefore likely that Deredox will notice the input lag of the U2713H. NCX also said that Believe him. I went...

    U2713HM review

    After spending 2 months with the U2713HM, I decided to publish my thoughts on this monitor. Green to indicate aspects which I want Dell monitors to continue to have. Yellow to indicate aspects which I want to see improvements in. Pros: PWM flicker is indeed non-existent, even at 0%...

    Any good 3D Monitors for gaming?

    Thank you Mark for your very informative post! Do you have any monitors to recommend? One that preferably can cover the sRGB colour space entirely and has correct gamma so that colours don't look washed out.

    Eizo monitor advice

    All things considered, I decided to go with the U2713HM. Here are some of my thoughts regarding the monitor after a week of use. Hopefully they will help wyqtor decide if it suitable for him. The monitor is currently hooked up to my Macbook Air via a minidisplay port to display port cable. FYI...

    Eizo monitor advice

    One thing that worries me though is the use of FRC in the VP2770. I know that few people are affected by FRC flicker, but I don't want to take any chances. Are there any complaints about FRC flicker? Google search yielded nothing. And does 8+2 FRC cause less flicker than 6+2 FRC, since the...

    Eizo monitor advice

    Thank you for your replies! If Dell's QC is indeed so poor, then I certainly won't buy the U2713HM. Truth be told, I have some reservations about buying Dell monitors because of the Dell panel lottery incident many years ago. On the other hand, such unethical business practices are committed by...

    Eizo monitor advice

    Thank you to both of you for your quick replies! Please allow me to ascertain a few things. Among all Eizo monitors, only the monitors in the EV series utilise hybird dimming. The 3 EV2x16W monitors use TN technology and claim to produce 16.77million colours, so they definitely use FRC...

    Bump! I'm in pretty much the same boat as you. I'm looking for a flicker-free sRGB monitor (or at least partially flicker-free) and the Eizo's flexiscan EV series seem to fit the bill. Problem is, I don't know which of the 6 monitors has the least aggressive AG coating. Size nor price isn't...

    Crucial M500 480GB SSD Review @ [H]

    Great to see that Crucial has finally updated their SSD. But I'm now more than ever confused as to which SSD to buy. Correct me if I'm wrong. Samsung, Crucial, Plextor and Intel (in no particular order) are regarded as the more reliable SSD brands, although I do understand that the new OCZ...

    ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II Video Card Review @ [H]

    Ah I see. Thanks! ;) So the question I should instead be asking is, how much FPS improvement can I expect from the increase in oc? Also, what is the maximum voltage allowed on the Matrix (without any hard mods)? The DirectCUII is 1182mV if I'm not mistaken. (H)ardOCP managed these overclocks...

    Which side has better drivers - Nvidia or AMD?

    My experience with ATI and Nvidia are quite different from yours. :p I find that Nvidia offers a smoothing gaming experience for me. The ATI card, while having a higher average FPS, seems to have lower minimum FPS. Thus, I experience FPS spikes during intensive game-play.

    Corsair HS1 Gaming Headset Give-Away - 5 Sets Again!!!

    Audio technica AD-700. Decent pair of headphones, but I would like the corsair's gaming headset for its greater comfort level and noise isolation. The AD700 lacks base big time too.
