I bought a crossover 2795 and it lasted almost 3 yrs. The end starting manifesting 2 days ago, when the panel would flicker the image on and off, turning it on and off would help, and plugging the power cable in and out. Watching a video at a certain part where there was a flash in the video would cause the whole screen to strobe on and off. Finally sometime yesterday it failed severely. On post it would flicker dimly the bios icon, and once it got to windows log in nothing would show and sometimes you would see and actifact on part of the screen strobe in for a sec.
I've been forced to take over the large tv in the living room to do my college work, but it's uncomfortable to have all these wires in the middle.
The monitor was overclocked at one point to 100Hz, it tested around 115Hz max. I usually ran it at 90Hz, and at stock since my ryzen rebuild. I still used a Gtx970, but I might upgrade in the future when newer stuff comes out, or the mining stuff chills out a bit and prices become more reasonable. I've been content with my current performance.
What do do you guys reccomend?
Uses. Photography editing, gaming, school work and watching videos.
Budget? Around $500
Here's the tough part, size and resolution. I think 27 inch 1440 is not bad at all. I thought about going 21:9, but support in games is not the best, some content wont fill the screen. 4K would be interesting, but I am not sure if id work well with my current video card and there's the whole windows scaling junk. Id like something that can run faster than 60Hz, Preferably 85 and higher. Maybe 120 or higher. I think I might have to go IPS, PLS, or similar for the photo editing. I wonder if 30' something at 16:9 would be too large?
Thanks for the help guys. Today is my long day at school, but I need a monitor. If I have enough time when I get back I might try to strip the cross-over, maybe it's something loose or that I can mend.
