I'm having a hard time myself; The SoC-Force from Gigabyte really ticks all the boxes for me, but isn't coming out any time soon. Would love to have a release date on that. OC Formula looks really solid as well, but again no timetable on release... very annoying. Xpower looked interesting but...
Until I see it infringe on someone's gaming, I consider it a non-issue. None of the people who have actually used it in high level gaming have yet to complain.
I must have gotten lucky... since my panel is near Vega quality. Initially out of the box it looked a little washed out, but once I got the colors straightened out it looked appreciably better. BLB is at a minimum, a slight bit in the upper left quadrant. No dead pixels or noticeable...
If it wasn't for their better price and outstanding return policy I would definitely be done. I'm in no great hurry for the monitor, but if it gets delayed again I'll need to look elsewhere.
What makes it so maddening at this point is that Amazon is still 'Temporarily out of Stock.' This has been the case since the monitor was released with no end in sight. I truly wish they would get this in stock (I placed my ordered 2 weeks ago) so I could finally make a decision about it.
BossBrew, 10e, kndy38, and Fleat thank you very much for your impressions. I've been quite torn about which monitor to get so any input is greatly appreciated. Hoping Mark gets his review posted soon so I can make my final decision. Don't think I want to wait until mid Jan to see if the 2720Z...
Please let us know how your panel turns out. Very close myself to pulling the trigger on this, and would like to see some more positive stories before I do.
Well the sensor inside my Sensei was broken and wouldn't detect movement properly (at all, actually), and the sensor inside my G500 isn't. So build quality is really what I am getting at here.
I had long been a fan of Logitech, and recently explored other options... buying a Razer Mamba and a Steelseries Sensei. I seriously regret buying those now, as both broke shortly after purchase. I now own a G500 mouse and wish I had bought it to begin with... so if I were you I would be weary...
Some of the complaints here make me laugh. Are you fucking serious? Star Trek Online? Complete bullshit. If people want accurate impressions of this game, my suggestion is to visit a leak website. There you will find non-bullshit impressions of the game, including combat and PvP. Like I...
I made the same exact upgrade and I dislike ati generally. Very pleased with the results thus far, aside from my shaders not unlocking. ;( 980/1450 clocks though so I can't complain too much. Works well in BF3 and I can't wait to tear through The Old Republic with it. Huge difference from my 260.
It has all of those things, but it's very much a MMO. So if you want some kind of definitive ending, or non-stop content you will be disappointed. That is of course, unless you play through every single class' storyline... that would keep you busy for quite a while.
