I have no dust behind my glass display, from what I can tell.

Same LG panel and same PCB. Input lag is minimal on all of these monitors. What I want to know is.. can you increase the Hz on the Crossover?

the only thing i don't like about 1440p is games that i normally would max out with my 7970 don't max out with 1440p. i cant believe they advertise these next gen cards can handle 4k HDTV's, they can barely handle 2560 x 1440/1600 still. lmao

[n-ster]

Turn down the level of AA and a few of the low IQ gain high fps drop settings and you should be able to max the rest for most games

sadly for most gpus, CFX/SLI is a must at this resolution

[Mindweaver]

I want one of these... Bad! I got a birthday coming up.. hehehe

erocker you need to change your tag to "Super Moderator Catleap Injected!".

[helloWorld]

I don't think any of the latest Catleaps or Crossovers can overclock the refresh rate. I have only heard of the initial Catleaps being able to do 100+ Hz.

I just got off of some BF3 multiplayer with everything maxed out (Ultra, 4x MSAA ...) at 1440p, with a custom FXAA injector, and I was averaging 30 FPS everywhere. Turn the motion blur to maximum and 30 FPS is "very fluid."

I hate motion blur

[james888]

I cant stand motion blur either. If I did get one, I might also have to upgrade my 6950 to a 7970. I am also considering eyefinitny with 3 regular eyefinity monitors. I just can't decide whether I want one really nice screen, or a super widescreen resolution gaming.

[n-ster]

You could just do 6950 CFX since you have the 2GB version

does anyone know, can I remove the tempered glass from my catleap? i hate that glossy look.

Hair dryer, heat it up and remove. It's glued on.

The display is amazing. The color is amazing. The brightness is amazing. The viewing angle is amazing. I did those online dead / stuck pixel tests, and I have not seen a single dead or stuck pixel.

Using a DVI-D, I was able to see POST / BIOS and everything like that without having to do any weird tricks to get it to display!

Can you post a photo packing this product from seller "accessorieswhole"
many ebay sellers do not pay attention to shipping packing
even on the OCN forum who purchased one of these cheap monitors
arrived in poor condition even destroyed
It does not matter as long as the seller to give a 1 year warranty
but you have to pay $100 more for shipping back to seller

open tempered glass does not solve the problem
because the panel itself is also glossy
unless you buy and install anti glare http://www.radtech.us/products/clearcal-displays.aspx

[rizla1]

just bit the bullet and got me one of these from bigclothcraft with tempered glass.
How many from the UK got one of these? could you please say if anyone got stung for duty or tax, and what the invoice was for?

According to a post over @ OCN, Mircocenter has started selling a rebranded version of these 27" panels. $399.99 and you deal with a US retailer with easier access to warranty.

Link to the details: http://www.overclock.net/t/1257538/m...-monitors/0_50

Im headed to the Bay Area next week- might make a detour and buy everything I have been missing out on from MC

A 10-bit panel too if the specs are to be believed.

[james888]

I havn't tried, but I think I could get one for about $300. This might be the better option though being through a US retailer

Care to share? I've been itching to pick one up from one of the Korean eBayers, but I'm a little hesitant to risk having to shell out $100 return shipping should anything go wrong.

[erocker]

Yes, I'd like to know as well. My monitor has developed an entire vertical row of pixels stuck on magenta. I'd like a new monitor but I can't go back to anything smaller. If I can get one in the States that'd be great.

[n-ster]

damn 400$, warranty in the US, scaler and multiple imputs?

That would be a great deal... I paid 325$ for m PCBank and hate not having that scaler or doubler, so no PS3 on my IPS

Thats too bad. Yours going bad makes me more cautious.

Maybe it is my mistake but I thought microcenter was in the US and that this overclock page was about a microcenter version of that 27 inch ips display.

[n-ster]

I have the Korean PCBank not the MC version, I'm saying MC's deals is good because it has features mine doesn't for only a small price increase. The Korean monitors with the features mentionned end up being 400$ anyways

If you buy another, are you not afraid it will turn out to have issues like this one does?

Yep, but this time I'd like a warranty. I simply can't go back to an (build quality aside) inferior monitor. Plus, no other monitor has sweet, sweet Air Hores.
