I think I was getting motion sickness from the sheer size of a 27" when I first got it.

OLED is also going to be hard to sell, the main advantage is near infinite ANSI contrast ratios but something like that isn't obvious to a normal consumer looking at it next to an LCD under thousands of watts of lighting in a B&M store. Plus, you know, as with plasma and CRT, OLED does have...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_4 First released GSM model (black): June 24, 2010 So yes, Apple's branding is inevitable. But Apple only pushes one thing at a time, the next step is a retina ipad mini. Displays aren't cheap enough for them to sell a retina desktop monitor to ANYONE so it's...

Apple has little reason to make a desktop display with that resolution. A display being "Retina" is a function of the closest normal use case(distance eye->screen) and the pixel size at that display the human eye can distinguish. A 27" 2560x1440 display is borderline "retina" already if you...

I had a TN panel about that age that I was around the top of the line at the time, from newer TN's I've had things haven't changed just gotten cheaper(and maybe worse, LED backlight has a whole new set of issues with flashlighting effects, PWM flickering headaches, ect). I guess it depends on...

Resolution and panel type. I don't know why anyone would buy a 1080p 27" monitor.

Try a different display if you have one.

Dells and Apple Cinema Displays certainly have IPS glow. Read any review on them, no one fails to mention it. IPS glow doesn't magically disappear when the panel is in a "name brand" as its a fault of the technology used to make the panel, which all of these displays share. My LG-IPS TV has...

I think input lag on the Auria isn't much higher(an extra frame) than other Korean displays when using DVI-D 2560x1440, I think the other inputs and non-native resolutions introduce the lag.

If your normal use is in a dim/dark room with with material with a lot of dark/black portions, you are probably too blind to drive if you don't notice it. IPS Glow is infinitely more annoying than a single dead pixel on one of these screens.

I don't think that is fair, IPS glow is often worse than average back light bleeding. Backlight glow is a HUGE problem with IPS displays and why it isn't often used in TVs.

groebuck: It's probably IPS glow. Does the bleeding follow you as you move around? IPS displays aren't much good for movies/dark room viewing(*VA panels are better suited). If anyone else is interested, I use use the Crossover 27Q ICC profile from here...

I tried to pickup the dell for $559, but Amazon was getting hit hard by the time I saw it. I have an Auria right now(Microcenter Korean), this monitor has some yellow bleeding visible on white screens that I've seen described in this thread.

Do these monitors use PWM? I couldn't find anything online. edit: tried testing for it, I can see my CCFL TV uses PWM but this monitor shows no signs. I'm asking cause I've got the worst fucking headache right now(and some nausea) and I bought this monitor to crank out some final programming...

Will just the power brick do it, or does the monitor have to be plugged in? I'm not carrying my monitor to the bathroom, but my brick didn't trip it.

Picked one up, I have a dead subpixel(green wont light up, so the pixel is always blue/red). Also, I've noticed the lower 1/3 of the screen tints to a slightly(and I mean slightly) yellower color temp. Will Microcenter hassle me for exchanges? The display is beautiful and the non-tinted part of...

Did anyone disassemble these? The same panel should not have such variances.

Links?

Yes.

Well, in my lifetime, the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS.

Just talked to Monoprice customer service. The Monoprice IPS will be a re-branded FSM-270YG(they didn't say this, but the designs are identical) sold at $390 with a 1 year warranty and 60hz refresh rate(provided by the customer service). Proof...

Its the same as any other korean, google it.

Honestly, the demand isn't that high and (most) factories are tooled to mass produce 1080p TN panels, they have no incentive to re-tool. 1920x1200 faded to the wayside in the wave of 1080p full-hd buzzword hype, not because it's really more difficult to produce. They still exist, but are...

In addition to my previous question, what brands (if any) of these monitors use PWM for brightness control of the LED back-lights?

Then buy the one from Microcenter for $399. http://microcenter.com/product/384780/EQ276W_27_IPS_LED_Monitor It's a B&M store in the US, if you get a dead pixel just exchange it.

Why pay for pixel perfect? From what I've heard, the sellers just send the monitor out anyway without careful inspection and refund the difference if it has dead pixels. Plus, if a panel has no dead pixels, presumably it was binned lower for other reasons(like bad back-light bleeding). I'm...

What GPU do you have with a spreader? All of my GPU's have always had a bare die.

By a tiny margin and costs twice as much and is much thicker which is something I dislike ;) I'm not worried about 1C difference in performance.

HDMI 1.1 is spec'ed to handle 1920×1200p60 with audio and shouldn't be an issue unless its a defective cable.

Good enough for me, guess I'm ordering some MX-2. If I'm applying to a small GPU core should I use the spread method? I know line/dot is preferred for large surfaces due to air bubbles but it seems Arctic Silver recommends spread method on small surfaces still.

Has anyone noticed temp drops after reapplying aged MX-2? I know what the package says....but manufactures often over exaggerate a lot. I've also observed AS5 performs poorly in lower temperature applications because curing time is greatly increased, do any of these TIMs perform worse in high...

I've finally exhausted all of my thermal paste and need to purchase a new tube; its been 5 years since I last purchased any thermal paste and what I found is most people go for the new MX-2 and MX-3 paste by Arctic Cooling. The reviews I've read show a max of 1-2C difference between all of these...

What part of CPU limited games don't you understand :p edit: Never use MSI's overclocking software, apparently 1.35v vcore equals 1.8v under load....I've never shut a computer off so fast in my life. The processor is rock solid at 3.4ghz with 2100mhz HT Link and NB at 1.448v but 3.5ghz is...

The card is as high as the drivers let me take it, I'm fine with that :p. Will throwing on AS5 void XFX's lifetime warranty? http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1296382 Couldn't help myself, had to bump from 1.365v default to 1.375v to get 3.4ghz stable at all(currently 15minutes into...

I'll grab my camera tomorrow and take some pics. The processor was a nightmare though, I pulled it out of the plastic case and it had foam from where it sits in the packaging STUCK in about 1/5 of the pins. I had to take a needle and perform careful surgery to extract it edit: Been testing the...

Posting from the rig now, idles at 29C and sits at 34C while web browsing(stock cooler with AS5). Only have 1 issue, the Power LED header in the motherboard manual is only 2 pins, my case's connecter is a 3 pin connector with 2 wires. The only other place I can connect it is marked POWER LED...

Usually you can go online after getting the pre-paid card and transfer funds directly into your bank account or request a check.

The worst part is I'm tempted to swap my 512mb 4870 with the 1GB :p Who knows maybe for the first time in a build I get a great CPU and it has unlockable L3 cache.

Yes I know :p I was just building a system around it XFX HD-487A-ZWFC Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card + CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 = $209 -...

More expensive GPU would be a little crazy considering most the gaming on it will be UT2004 and some source games don't you think? Thats why I was going to put more into the CPU because a 4850 is already overkill and I don't know what to do with the extra money other than a CPU or GPU...
