ahh if only the catleap had a vesa mount
It does! The holes are located behind the grey curving bit at the back. ToastyX and I both mentioned them in our reviews.

You can remove it. Three of the four prongs holding it to the monitor were already broken during shipping, so I just broke the last one off and removed it.steal said:lol are you fucking kidding me
oh well
Couldn't wait any longer. Just ordered the speakerless Catleap from DreamSeller, 413.90
Once it gets here, I get to upgrade my 5770 - to a 7850, once AMD releases them this month.

I wonder why the catleaps seem so much easier to get to higherrefresh rates... Is there a panel difference or some sort of unlisted quality difference?
If none of the shimians can perform as high as the catleaps, something must be different.
I'll get around to it. I haven't even calibrated it yet.
85 Hz proof pics (catleap):1
I set the camera's shutter speed to 1/10th of a second and took pictures at 60 Hz and 85 Hz.
I used Refresh Rate Multitool, which is a program that synchronizes with the monitor's refresh rate and draws a bar moving from left to right once per frame.
60 Hz:
85 Hz:
Notice how more bars are drawn in the same amount of time at 85 Hz, and no bars are skipped.
I also did the old mouse cursor test:
60 Hz:
85 Hz:
Notice how more cursors are drawn in the same amount of time with less spacing between each cursor. The movement is perfectly smooth with no skipped frames.
Note: If you do the cursor test, make sure to use a 1000 Hz or 500 Hz mouse, otherwise it may look like it's skipping due to mismatched rates.
For reference, this is how skipped frames look like:
This is the real deal. It can actually do higher refresh rates properly, and NVIDIA users might be able to get more than 85 Hz if the pixel clock is not limited to 330 MHz.
The 97 Hz limit seems to be due to the pixel clock hitting the DAC limit of 400 MHz. I bet it could hit 100 Hz if the timing parameters were bumped down a bit, but I don't have an NVIDIA card to test this with.
dream-seller, Q270 SE (no speakers)
tri 580 3GB for 1440p @ 96hz? OMFG, I had no idea >60hz required so much hp!
But then is a single 580 or 7970 too little for 1600p @60hz?
Your video card would do the scaling based on the driver settings you pick.
I'd think these would work well for a project... they're so cheap you wouldn't really mind removing the bezels and putting them in a triple-LCD setup.
Wonder if they'll stay this price for a while.
What'd you get there? 2 27s?
I'm still trying to get a grip on the differences between Shimian and Catleap.
Here is my Shimian tempered glass monitors. They look amazing! Only running at 1920x1200 right now. Took some snaps during the avengers trailer. This is my photoshop/video editing rig.
The EDID has nothing to do with what the monitor will accept. The monitor doesn't care about the EDID. It's just there to tell the computer what resolutions to use.linuxdude9 said:If the pixel clock information is changed or removed in the EDID of the Shimian -- by means of an EDID editor and flashing it via Powerstrip -- can it be overclocked just like the CatLeap?
Wowowow this is really tempting. Thinking of upgrading from my 3 20wmgx2s, cause theyre so small. I prefer glossy or atleast semi glossy with very low input lag.
Which monitor would that be? Mannn i need a push to get one of these
Catleap
Pros
100Hz is possible
buttons at the front
Cons
5.5 inches from desk to bottom of screen is a bit too high
High Defect rate
Monitor Leans to the right
Achieva
Pros
4.5 inches from desk to the bottom of the screen is near perfect
5W speakers
Every monitor without the Tempered Glass is near perfect
30 increments for brightness control
Cons
buttons at the rear
might be limited to 70Hz?
Unless you really want the Tempered Glass badly, it offers no advantages over the regular Shimian because they are all glossy. The Hazro Tempered Glass version also suffered from having dust particles under the glass.
Thanks for that post. I'm still wondering if they have significant input lag...
Also, What does tempered glass mean? Excuse my ignorance...
I am tempted to pick up 3 Achieva non tempered glass. I do like the Catleap stand better though.

They claim 6ms response, but that doesnt tell us much
