The panel is the same LG IPS found in the dell and apple displays it is not cheap, that said the build quality and other components won't be as good quality though the panel itself is fine.

For those who got this monitor and may want a better stand, I remembered this review of Tyke monitor stands at Phoronix.

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag..._monitor&num=1

At their site, they have a single monitor stand for $36. Assuming it is VESA compliant and you have a desk to clamp on to.

Hope that helps.

Btw, the single, dual-dvi models (serial # 2c) are not able to overclock the hz much. Mine can do 65hz fine. There is someone on OCN who is trying to get an order of different logic boards for these. If cheap enough, they'll be a good buy.

I thought the FireGL and Quadro cards are the only ones that can output a 10-bit video signal?

that's a driver issue, not a hardware issue. Firegl /quatro drivers will fix it but likely nerf gaming.

you say do 65Hz fine? My Gateway is running 75Hz outta the box, am I missing something here? Im just trying to understand whats what?

Also So besides this obviously being a cheap Korean monitor, how is the gaming and Blu ray play back? Id like to grab on of these but a little leary due to not seeing one up and running in person to see the response time, contrast, color and such

yeah we do - they are global just like DHL, though sometimes DHL deliver through YODEL but yodel are a subsidiary of DHL but you do the official DHL delivery guy knocking on your door once in a while.

If i pay for something to get delivered by a certain courier company then thats what I will fucking get. why pawn it off to another company to deliver it when you could have gone to them in the first place instead of hiring them to do it??

Obviously it doesnt matter so long as you get what you ordered on time but its the priciple of the matter. Parcel Force are Royal Mail if you didnt know.

well in your case its not delivered....not yet anyway. they most likely never had it in the van with them so just left a 'Sorry-you-was-out' calling card to tell you to go to them to pick your shit up the next day. (and i do have OCD.)

Back in the old days - people used to leave your items with your neighbour if you werent in. You didnt NEED to ask them to do it, and they would do it because it saves everyone the hassle.

now you either have to tell them to do it or give them express permission that your parcel can be left with Mr. Morris nextdoor. I blame society really. nobody talks to their neighbours anymore let alone know who they are or what they do for a living.

Obviously the delivery company doesnt want to be held accountable if something valuble goes missing or gets damaged after they handed the parcel over to your neighbour which kinda makes sense.

Yea i hear ya. I understand they are just saving their ass. I know ups has it where you can sign up for an account where you can tell them to deliver all your packages and not leave a slip. I wish i could do this with fedex. Maybe they have something similar i just dont know about.

BTW for those of you who ordered a monitor how long did it take for the tracking information to show up? I ordered mine over the weekend received the tracking number but when i click it, nothing shows up.

Two buttons next to the power button. Or, you'll have to set things up through your AMD/Nvidia control panel.

I recommend QuickGamma as a good, free tool to help calibrate your monitor.

edit: Can somebody who has worked with calibrated IPS panels before compare to using this monitor and QuickGamma?
