Google ABX Blind testing and read up on the psychology behind it. As to the rest I am preparing some comparisons. Never have I said in the thread that aggressive matte finishes don't affect IQ negatively. Everyone seems to be hellbent on matte vs glossy when there is an in between that I am...

8000 series samsung lcd and plasmas from the past decade. And I never said AR film, just not glossy. And that you will never see the kind of coating thats on a flagship TV on a sub $1000 monitor so its really a moot point to be discussing TVs at all in this thread. Nor is it applicable to...

Right because volume level matching isn't critical to ABX blind tests and TV/Monitors aren't calibrated in showrooms for brighter/vibrant (read poorly calibrated) colors to attract people to buy them. I suggest you actually research on A/B and ABX comparisons and the tricks the human brain plays...

You guys are comparing displays without correcting the calibration. Of course all else equal they will be different. The coating affects the optics. Doesn't mean worse, means different. Which means the calibration needs to be different. Calibrate the displays and there will be minimal color...

TN, VA, doesn't matter. You take two TN or two VA displays side by side with the only difference being glossy vs matte and you will notice the glossy version has more contrast shift. I have plenty of TN panels with matte coatings that do not exhibit any noticeable contrast shift. And exactly...

??? what? glossy panels have more contrast shift than matte. Easy to see just going to any store that has a selection of screens on display. Exactly. Even high end expensive optic AR coatings arn't immune to direct reflections. I'm talking the stuff that comes on $10k+ lenses. Matte finshes...

My Eizo FG2421 will be here next thursday!

Asus Strix GTX980 I dunno I have had so many issues with DP over the past few years I have grown to hate it... which is saying something cause I really hate HDMI.

Yeah I don't concern myself too much with contrast ratios. What I look for is the absolute black levels. If the display can achieve 0.05 cd/m² or better then I am happy. 0.01 or better and I am really happy :) (aka my plasma TV) Can't wait for OLED or true QLED to become mainstream in desktop...

First thing I did was make sure I had full RGB set when I plugged in HDMI. Its not color or black levels that are better with HDMI, its the pixel mapping. ie. on boot the display port connection has a ton of lines and text is super blurry. via HDMI it looks smooth and normal. In windows the...

Everyone loves their Eizo so much they don't want to part with it? :)

Good to hear there is possibly a future for IPS with good black levels. I like IPS other than their black/grey response due to glow, poor contrast, etc.

yeah its definitely a VA characteristic, but these are especially bad. Didn't bother me when I got them but I've grown to hate it. My C24FG70 has it to some extent but not like my old one did. Sitting head on to the monitor at 24" from the screen I only see a slight contrast shift on solid grey...

Bump to the top!

I disagree with you completely. The only way to remove direct reflections in a non dark environment is with matte finishes. AR on glass only does so much. Even in that picture you can see the reflections on the glass panel. There are non aggressive matte finishes that don't diminish IQ or...

Shipping would be to S7K8C8 in Canada. Bun-Bun4000 on ebay Heatware: https://www.heatware.com/u/36052/to

Thanks for the link. Hmm... need to play with it some more. Looking at the Asus MG279Q. Alot more money though. tftcentral had theres with .10 black level, 1200:1 contrast. Not as good but maybe I can get some nice lights in my room that don't add heat to help with perceived contrast. EDIT...

Yeah exactly! I am having a similar issue on a new laptop I got with an LG gsync panel in it as well. Driving me nuts all these displays with sharpness issues in my life... Do you have a link to where this was being discussed on overclock.net?

Yeah I tried adjusting cleartype but it didn't help. I'll check that page on it tonight!

Well I got the monitor yesterday. Haven't had a ton of time with it yet but I am completely sold on 120/144 hz monitors now. Game changing. The monitor... amazing colors out of the box, great gamma response, excellent motion response so little tearing and smearing its like im on a TN panel...

Monitor shipped! Should have it tomorrow.

Yeah it looks really good. I'm in Canada so I can't order from that Amazon page but I found a source to price beat through memoryexpress.com with. $438 CAD vs $600 retail :D

That's funny as I just saw this at my favorite retailer and am half way through that review... Other than the curve it looks like exactly what I want. I am seriously considering it.

Can't stand reflections at all, and glossy tend to have worse color/luminance consistency across the panel. But matte finishes on most IPS screens is so aggressive you get sparkly crap. Don't understand why more manufactures don't follow Samsung with their semi matte finish that is the best of...

Well I would be willing to push the monitor further back if it was 27"... but curve is a deal breaker. Added that to my requirements. That Eizo FG2421 looks good though. A quick google search suggests it is fairly easy to mod to be vesa mountable, I wonder how they mean. That is if I can...

24" VESA mount compatible 1080p 120Hz+ 0.1 cd/m² or lower black level non harsh matte coating (no sparkly effect) not curved Does such a panel exist? I currently have two Samsung S24A650 displays and I like them other then the weird viewing angle with them. Center of the screen has a contrast...

yeah I agree with you that the gains do not seem to be from the CPU itself, but rather the memory subsystem and RAM. System latency and frame times is something that I have always been greatly concerned with, so your experience is encouraging. Yes Intel hasn't made any great gains in 6 years...

Been running 2600K since early 2011. 5.0GHz stable. And this article proves why I haven't upgraded yet. *sigh* Motherboard is getting old and has issues. I want m.2. But I feel so cheated right now "upgrading" to anything other than a 6950X but intels pricing on that is ludicrous. Well...

I do not have any other skylake compatible parts (lots of ive bridge though...) I ended up sending parts back to memory express. They determined it was both the motherboard and CPU. My theory is there was something wrong with the motherboard power section which buggered up the graphics on the...

I agree. I am still on my 5.0GHz 2600K and have not seen any reason to upgrade other than chipset features. I was ready to pull the pin on the new decacore broadwell-e when it dropped but then I saw what Intel did with the pricing...

See if you can move some of your reasons to a RPI or something. I use a RPI as my media downloader and IRC server. But like you said, these new chips are pretty efficient. I wouldn't worry about it.

Just put together a new computer last week. Maximus VIII Gene, 6700K, G.Skill PC4-17000 (2x8GB), Samsung 950 Pro, Seagate 520 Platinum Fanless. Memtest, LinX, everything rock solid stable. Then I started to notice these graphical artifacts on the desktop. ownCloud Put in a old Nvidia...

I always disable C states and other power save features when overclocking. Once I challenged myself to get my OC stable using the powersave features, and I was successful, it took a lot of tinkering with the adaptive voltages. I think that was on a 4970K @ 4.5GHz on air. But the way I look...

Razer Mamba pre 2012 edition. This is still on the old synapse software that stores the profiles on the mouse instead of the cloud crap. Lightly used, purchased then stopped gaming. Comes with all original packaging in mint condition you still get the unboxing experience! Asking $65 USD +...

Yes that's the whole problem, no good measurements of the C8000. Now that I have had the F8500 directly beside my C8000 (and calibrated it to match my C8000) I am going to keep the F8500. Once I make the warranty exchange I will have two F8500's! :) Its really too bad these plasma's are no...
