    Out of curiosity can you glance in your Nvidia control panel and tell me what the Video Card Bios number is for your new classified card ? EVGA is supposedly using the latest Bios on the assembly line for all there various 770 cards being produced. The revised Bios resolves any possible...

    Best GTX 780

    More then likely not too much of a difference to be that concerned with. Buddy of mine has the Asus below and claims it OCed pretty good and remained stable. Other folks claim to like the MSI just as much. I have not heard if Asus or MSI has resolved any of the motherboard compatibility issues...

    LG27EA83R-D mini-review

    My desk is made of wood with a fairly slick surface and i have to practically pick the monitor up to slide it. Pretty sure your aware of the below site but after you tweak your settings to an acceptable IQ, visit this site for some nice 2560 x 1440p & even higher resolution photos for...

    LG27EA83R-D mini-review

    I forwarded you some settings to try that i personally use. Might not be to your eyeball tastes but let me know. I agree the stand is not very appealing but it definitely adheres to your desk and will not budge or slide without using some force. Of course i dont buy monitors based on...

    LG27EA83R-D mini-review

    All of the ones i tried were 27" 2560 x 1440p. Several of the Korean E-bay displays both matte & semi-glossy. The Auria from Microcenter The Monoprice The Asus PB278Q The Dell U2713HM Bear in mind there are many folks that like the ones i listed but the units above i received...

    LG27EA83R-D mini-review

    Knowing this monitor utilized PWM that was the 1st thing i checked for at 10 different brightness levels and noticed no flickering that some folks are able to notice. I am running it presently at 33% brightness. As far as camera angles i will gladly take further photos to show no extreme bleed...

    LG27EA83R-D mini-review

    TBH i was almost on the verge of giving up on finding a 1440p monitor for under $800 that was not plagued with the usual complaints. Luckily i got this LG last week when Newegg was running a special along with a $50 promo code which brought the price down to $649 with free shipping and no sales...

    After several months of purchasing, testing, & of course returning various 2560 x 1440p displays i was down to only the VP2770 if this new LG did not pan out. I could not find any extensive reviews on this new LG R version so decided to test it out. I received the LG27EA83R-D few days ago and...

    Need suggestions on a monitor upgrade to 2500x res

    I received the LG27EA83R-D few days ago and it is definitely a keeper IMO. No dead pixels, no banding, no tinting, no cross hatching, no BLB, and i do NOT notice any effects from the PWM at any level of brightness settings. I did not like the factory calibrated SRGB presets so simply used the...

    I will be getting the LG 27EA83R-D delivered today from Newegg to test out and will let you know my opinions. I have given up on all the issues that Dell provided with the U2713HM and tried going the Korean route. Also the microcenter Auria was definitely a no go for me. The Monoprice too...

    Monoprice IPS

    The new 27" Monoprice is essentially the exact same monitor as the two Korean displays below. The Achieva has a few extra inputs and the Crossover a different stand but the panels are the same. Just different brand names. IMO get the Monoprice due to a more known reliable return policy. I assume...
