I am interested in buying one, like really soon.

Are you able to hook up the monitor to GPU with a single HDMI or DVI-D? My GPU has one mini-HDMI port and two DVI.

DVI-D works fine ;)

Yup: i have mine hooked up to the motherboard (see specs) and it's working just fine.

@ 1st, it wasn't working and i couldn't figure out why, but then i noticed i had the DVI-D disabled in BIOS :slap: : enabled it and it's working great ever since.

Sounds like backlight bleed, I do have some though nothing worth worrying about and it's still miles better than my old Sammy TN panel :toast:

Well that's what I thought at first but as I moved my head around, it affected the whole screen , not just the bottom area

Sounds more like IPS glow- normal for IPS screens although the degree to which it is visible does vary between brands and units. I have it ever so slightly on the bottom right corner of my Ultrasharp.

Just looked up IPS glow and I think this is what I'm experiencing. Kind of annoying, don't know why I never heard of it before buying this screen! I can definitely live with it though, the screen is amazing apart from that. Maybe if I sit a bit further away it will be better.

sorry... what has the "not compatible" to do with the fact if the it gives display immediately after boot?

And don't worry, even Intel integrated graphics can display 2560x1440 just fine.

Dunno, I used mine with an HD5850 and had 0 problems, could see BIOS and everything. I have also heard other people online say the same. But I have also heard of some people who couldn't see their BIOS. I'm guessing it's something to do with the res or refresh rate that those cards use during POST/before the OS is loaded.

With the monitor I'm using there are two things you need. A video card that has a dual link DVI output and a dual link DVI cable.

IPS monitors, from what I've seen list their response times in black to white to black. Most TN panel manufacturers list grey to grey. In the end they are about the same.. 2ms g2g = 6(ish)ms b2w2b.

You mean high? low response times are a good thing regardless :toast:

well some of them are decent and have 8 or less and that's good. but some have like 14+ms and that's no good...

I thought i was screwed for sure for a while there but it was just me being dumb :eek:

I use a Philips LCD TV (32") and the BIOS thing is as follows:
9 out of 10 times the computer goes into Windows loading screen before the screen "wakes up".
So if I need to enter BIOS, I press quickly "DEL" after keybaord lights turn on without seeing anything, and some 30 seconds later I see stuff.
If I want to see my BIOS posting - loading lines I have to press "pause" and wait until screen wakes up and sometimes it does not.
Definitively is something low-res communication related...
Unless doing an overclocking session it is a non issue reallly.

I take it you are using HDMI? that is not so much a computer or monitor issue as it is a copy protection issue. We have to take it in the ass so the RIAA and MPAA can make sure we are using an "approved" device.

I have a Pioneer reciever in between my computer and my 60 inch Pioneer plasma that I use for a monitor and I can see the HDMI light blinking while the HDMI handshake bullshit takes place.

HDMI yes... You imply that a DVI cable would not show these troubles?

DVI does not need the security routine that HDMI does. since HDMI's video signal is the same as DVI, that would be the explanation.

Ordered a Crossover 27" 2560x1440 IPS display from "accessorieswhole" on eBay on Saturday and I just received it today, three days later! This is from Korea to Texas!!!

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!

Just curious... Why did you choose the crossover. I am looking at the catleap personally. I don't mind glass or no glass, but I am also read that many of the glass displays have dust behind them.

I purchased the Crossover because I had read that the Crossover had, in general, an overall better build quality. I also read from a lot of people that the Crossover had less input lag. To be honest, I have an idea as to what input lag is, but I really do not know what it is. The way people were talking about it, it seemed like a big deal.

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