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/

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_archive/31.htm#144hz_ips https://twitter.com/TFTCentral/status/508625018373537792 Exciting times! If this and the other panels mentioned in the article are indeed going into production as early as this october then there appears to be potential for some...

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. :)

1150.

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...

"The ASRock Z87E-ITX board comes with a Broadcom-based 802.11ac 2T2R solution." http://www.anandtech.com/show/7007/intels-haswell-an-htpc-perspective/2 Maybe someone else can help with the exact model.

Well the socket has been moved up compared to the Z77 board. They literally couldn't move it further from the GPU. :D Less obviously, the mSATA port has been moved further away from the CPU cooler mounting holes compared to before, which as far as I can see should avoid this Z77 board nonsense.

I don't know. I'd like WiFi and I'd ideally like PS/2, but if you use neither then that's a fantastic board. I never really expected a WiFi card on a ROG board, to be honest.

There we go. Asus Maximus VI Impact: http://wimages.vr-zone.net/2013/06/IMG_2814-1024x768.jpg http://wimages.vr-zone.net/2013/06/IMG_2816-1024x768.jpg http://wimages.vr-zone.net/2013/06/IMG_2817-1024x768.jpg http://wimages.vr-zone.net/2013/06/IMG_2818-1024x768.jpg...

AnandTech's Haswell HTPC test features this board. May interest some of you: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7007/intels-haswell-an-htpc-perspective

MSI Z87I and Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI are your boards for this. Although Gigabyte doesn't support teaming anymore (read: unlike on their Z77 ITX board) if that's what you were looking for (because LAN1 and LAN2 are not the same model NIC anymore maybe?). Not sure about MSI. Seems like it should work...

Perhaps relevant for getting an idea of pricing, the retailer is listing the Z87I-Deluxe for the exact same price.

Asus ROG ITX? http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/hardvara/177740-asus_maximus_vi_impact-mitx-z87 That price certainly indicates something special... (~$250-300 USD).

MSI Z87I detailed in a big socket 1150 mobo test: http://us.hardware.info/reviews/4444/39/33-haswell-motherboard-group-test-26x-z87-4x-h87-and-3x-b85-msi-z87-i It also features an ASUS H87I-Plus that at least I haven't seen before.

The same Intel card, even (Centrino Wireless-N 2230).

Fuller max. res specs from an MSI page (includes 60Hz modes):

Interesting to see AsRock trick the Z87E-ITX out with better audio as well (Realtek ALC1150 w/ a TI NE5532 amp).

Looks like we'll have a MSI Z87I and H87I: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/375028_569429656412202_165042001_n.jpg Tiny picture, but it does show the layout. Looks fairly similar to the Gigabyte board to me.

A closer look at the GA-Z87N-WIFI: http://www.sinhardware.com/index.php/reviews/motherboards/131-gigabyte/gigabyte-8-series-motherboards-preview/317-gigabyte-8-series-motherboards-preview?showall=&start=6

They have one from above as well: http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/2795/Z87E-ITX.jpg I don't see a printed label, but the grey 4-pin header to the left of the chipset heatsink and USB 2.0 headers possibly what you're looking for?

Not sure how much people care about the mid and low end, but: GA-H87N-WIFI: http://ascii.jp/elem/000/000/792/792127/g18_c_600x800.jpg AsRock H87M-ITX: http://ascii.jp/elem/000/000/792/792149/s15_c_600x800.jpg AsRock B85M-ITX: http://ascii.jp/elem/000/000/792/792152/s18_c_600x800.jpg...

I'm curious about the resolution limitations of the new iGPU's as well. It'd be nice to not be stuck with 1920x1200 over DVI, as is the case with HD4000. The leaked slides do mention 4k x 2k res, but that's in relation to Iris & Iris Pro. It'd be interesting to know what the HD4600 can do.

Will dust be an issue with it facing upwards like this?
