exactly how much lower did you guys find it? looking on slick deals the lowest price was $450 plus tax in july. so your saying its over priced cause its $30 more than the lowest price ever? I just ordered one on dell outlet for $370 total last week. but I got very lucky and refreshed the page at the right time cause they sold out in 30 minutes.
noWould this monitor be too big for competitive fps gaming? I sit about 2 feet from my monitor. I am interested in getting better image quality due to higher res vs my benq.
IMO 24-27 is perfect.Would this monitor be too big for competitive fps gaming? I sit about 2 feet from my monitor. I am interested in getting better image quality due to higher res vs my benq.
24" 1080p is 91.79 ppi, 27" 1440p is 108.79 ppi. that's a 16% increase in pixel density, so yes, you definitely would.Would i see an increase of crispness going to 27" 1440p from 24" 1080p?
- Colors are bad - really bad. Adjusting the settings help but may still be an annoyance in the end.
- The monitor has horrible pixel inversion. Once you notice it, it's hard to un-see it. I almost returned it because of this.
Quick question, did you try any of the profiles posted around online? From what I gathered, while the colors are "bad" by IPS standards, this monitor is quite possibly the best when it comes to TN panels.
The only other question is about the inversion. It's 100% a deal breaker for me if it suffers from it as you've said. Quite a few people posted online that it's caused by the overdrive being set to Fast instead of Normal, did you come across the same info? If not, could you try it and post back? It's labeled "Response Times" under the OSD, and supposedly some revisions ship default to Fast.
I've tried setting the settings to what some folks recommended but have not tried an ICC profile. I'll check out the link Gabe3 posted from overclock.net.
Settings applied (from Amazon review) -> I tweaked some of these and it was acceptable:
Nvidia Control Panel:
Brightness-50%
Contrast-50%
Gamma-0.60%
Digital vibrance-70%
Hue-0
DELL Monitor settings:
Brightness-26%
Contrast-75%
Color>Custom Color:
R-97%
G-99%
B-96%
There is a ghosting (purple aura) effect with fast response. Normal response (4ms) doesn't have this.
The pixel inversion is a problem. Moving around in-game can give surfaces a corduroy effect. It's not that noticeable but it is there in certain situations. I struggled with this for a week or so before settling on keeping the monitor. It was so expensive and really hard to justify any imperfections. Gsync made it though. This site made me cringe when I tested on this monitor - it is of course the worst-case scenario: LCD Test Patterns

Notice how the drop-down menu distorts when it enters the test image?
Notice how the screen extends horizontally from the image even though it's not part of the image?
