    [Freesync] Benq XL2730Z -- 144 Hz, 1440p, 27 inches.

    The guy who started this whole motion strobing buzz did find a solution to this problem but I haven't read anything to indicate anyone is working on implementing it. The article, "Strobing on Variable Refresh Rate Displays" here...

    How much does screen size really matter?

    You might want to inform everyone who is working on VR of this.

    Hate your matte film?

    You know you could always cut out a few pieces of cardboard, spray paint them black and create a custom hood for your display or buy a universal one for ~$70. Grainy AG coatings are just awful. They completely ruin the display.

    Using big displays as monitors

    Chances are you keep your monitor slightly further back on your desk than me. My monitor is on an arm and it sits just less than one arm distance from my face. The point being that I'd like to move the monitor even closer than it already is as having the monitor closer to the eyes is more in...

    Using big displays as monitors

    It really depends on use case scenario. Strictly from a desktop usage scenario, I already find 24" monitors to be sub optimal in terms of being too wide mostly and plain too big. This may sound odd but I have an old 4:3 aspect 17" CRT that perfectly encapsulates the area that my eyes can...

    Large Monitors scaring me......

    In the world of display technology, bigger is smaller. Bigger monitor means reduced pixels per inch which means worse image clarity. A bigger monitor will also need to be moved further away to properly encompass our field of vision, which works against our own eye's ability to perceive detail.

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    I'll have to mirror the, "washed out" sentiment. And then I cranked up the saturation in CCC, I was blown away by how nicely this monitor plays with saturation control. It's like it was made for it. And the contrast ratio is very good, not many TV's will look better than it. Could you have a...

    What's the point of 4k if you scale up the size of things?

    At 4k resolutions, I'd consider going the opposite direction. I'd want a much smaller sized than standard monitor that I could move much closer to my eyes so that I could still keep the entire monitor in view distance. As my current setup is a 23.5" 1080p monitor at about 2ft away, I find the...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Since this monitor is end of life, there's also the Chinese HKC X3, which appears to use a similar panel and cost a fraction of the price. The key difference being, no strobing backlight and 144hz instead of 120hz. That's a deal breaker to me as the motion clarity is the key feature. A quick...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    I've been tinkering with some settings on this monitor trying to eliminate what I perceive to be some slight problems. I don't have a camera handy so bear with me. All of the below is with Turbo240 on. For starters, when middle clicking the mouse button to bring up the, "quick scroll" (which I...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    In a bizarre turn of events, I am now almost certain that it is the dual link DVI-D cable that's defective and not the monitor itself. I was certain it was the monitor because my experience seemed to mirror what so many others have had with the monitor, "resetting" itself although I would...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Provantage. Made in Japan with an MFD of 1-8-2014 When the issue first occurred, I was toggling some settings on the monitor so I thought I must have just bumped a cable loose. Today was the first day it started happening where I really noticed it. It has happened maybe 10 times today...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    I got one of these monitors and it has a problem where the screen goes blank and then immediately comes back on, showing, "DVI" in the upper right corner of the display. It does this several times a day. I thought it may be my cable or video card but it appears others are having the same issue...

    4k Display, but not for gaming.. for monitoring..

    DPI scaling is generally really crappy. You might consider a desk clamp arm. I know you said you don't want it mounted anywhere but a desk clamp arm doesn't require any fancy mounting. It just clamps to your desk as if it were sitting on it with a base stand and attaches to a standardized VESA...

    Which 4K display?

    Given the choice, I would prefer a smaller 4k display to a larger one. Even with a lack of proper DPI scaling, everything on screen should appear much crisper and sharper thus making it slightly easier to see the UI functions and some of the smaller fonts that are normally difficult to see on a...

    Makes me wonder why people think it's a good idea to cripple one of the best parts about Diablo, while not even solving the problem it's supposed to fix? Account bound gear only helps RMT sites and botters more than without it because legit players can't trade their best gear for other best...

    I didn't see if this has already been posted but the free trial is now, "unlimited" (no time limit, level cap increased to 28 with some other odd restrictions). The unlimited trial will convert to the f2p, "Tera Rising" in February. Just go to the Tera main page and in the right corner is a link

    Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

    Running Baal and Chaos to level were definitely the most played modes in D2. What is missing or different in D3 I would say is running high ilvl areas, superuniques, superchests or bosses for specific items. Every Act in Diablo 2 had these things. The only similarity in D3 I can think of is...

    Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

    This game is so boring if for not hardcore mode. There is absolutely zero thrill in playing Diablo 3 without the thrill of sudden death. Dying over and over again at the same point, farming the auction house and eventually being stuck end game in Inferno is no appealing in any way...

    Not the same here. I get ~100FPS playing four player multi for the most part. Specifically the Elite mobs with the, "Illusionist" mod *can* bring my FPS to a crawl. Without searching for answers and from personal experience the illusionist mod on elite packs allows for every member of the rare...

    The, "Illusionist" mod on elite mobs is a real FPS killer. I had something like 20 mobs from an elite pack rushing at me that all decided to use the illusionist mod at the same time. Four times 20 elite mobs on screen can bring even the most powerful of systems to a crawl. For someone who...

    Quake2World Open Beta goes LIVE!

    I felt this too. Look of Quake, weapons from all three iterations and a speed somewhere in between the three. The only populated server at the time had five players and I had a ~100ms ping (<50ms avg in other games) :/ Still a satisfying nostalgia trip.

    There is a Portal skill gem. And as I progressed through later difficulties I found myself having an excess of Portal scrolls before I found the gem. PoE is fantastic but alas it is in a true closed beta state and I do not feel there is enough content to form a coherent opinion about it.

    Question about the Diablo 3 player demographic.
