Not a great idea if you only have a 7950...of course that's if you're a gamer who wants to play newer titles.

I will have another before this deployment is over along with hopefully a phase change for the cpu.

I wouldn't. Unless you're content with spending almost $600 bucks on something without a warranty. I put my limit at around $300, but that's just me.

There are ways to get a warranty on it. I'm not really worried about that.

How so? What are these ways? Shipping usually isn't covered and it costs quite a bit to ship these back.

Spend the $80 on a squaretrade warranty lasts 4 years and they offer free 2 way shipping along with a dead pixel plan.

Has anyone reviewed that 30" panel?

erocker · May 5, 2013

Price is way up from what I paid: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PERFECT-PIX...8567?pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item4aafb228d7 :ohwell:

Random question but how would a 670 (Galaxy) handle @ 2560x1440 as apposed to 1080p. Do games take a serious hit with 2GB vRam?

EDIT: Asking because I'm considering grabbing one of these

The 670 handles 2560x1440 pretty well. Most of the vRAM hit comes with post-processing game i.q., so a little judicious use of the menu might be needed on some of the compute heavy games- but generally the 670 copes very well.

For me too. I paid $329 from memory for the same "brand" (although with a little more connectivity) last year from the same seller. That was also "perfect pixel" - which it was.

erocker · May 5, 2013

It's going to take a hit. Even with the 3gb on my card I get about a 20-30% hit. GPU performance will make a bigger difference than 2gb/3gb of vram.

I didn't even pay that for the same monitor from the same seller. I paid way less just a few days ago. wtf? :wtf:

erocker · May 5, 2013

I paid $329 about 6 months ago from the same guy.

Square Trade will cover them. 3 years for $50 and some folks scored 35% off coupons.

Also apparently most of these sellers are saying they will cover shipping back to Korea within one year as well (the manufacturer offers this warranty and sounds like they will facilitate for you). At least Dream-seller and hulustar have said as much recently about the PLS ones anyway in response to specific inquiries about such from people at OCN.

Yea, I paid like £40 customs charges for my first one, though 140 euros is blatant daylight robbery, did you enjoy it when your government bent you over and gave you a good rodgering without even so much as a bit of lube or a kiss afterwards?

Ofc it's a bloody robbery :shadedshu

Anyway, you may want to hold on to your day job, dude: you're not as funny as you think you are ...

Ah shit. I haven't gotten that email, but I'll post here and let you know if I get something like that.

Yep, just got a call asking for my email address to send me that form.

LagunaX · May 6, 2013

My monitor is in Memphis, TN after passing customs in Alaska.
Maybe 2 more days before it hits California.

You might want to check again. Mine was in TN too last night and when I checked it this morning it's already in Bakersfield, Ca. 2hrs away from me. Wohoo!

Are you aware you just replied to your own post? Anyway is that the same thing I was talking about? FCC form?

Mine's still in Busan, Korea :ohwell:

EDIT: My FCC-740 went through, so it's nearing customs stateside according to the FedEx guy.

I know Fed Ex's main hub and headquarters is in Memphis but why the hell would it have to go all the way to the east when you are on the west coast where is Alaska is too?

Sounds like they need some UPS Logistics™.

LagunaX · May 6, 2013

Looks like it's coming today - it's on the Fedex truck out for delivery today from Irvine, CA.

Wrigleyvillain · May 6, 2013

Maybe those items don't actually go to Memphis regardless of what it said.

erocker · May 6, 2013

Until it reaches your local hub, it's all air mail. Air mail moves quickly through several airports A plane will land, pick-up/drop-off and be on its way. It is pretty amazing, funny thing is there are better shipping options if you really need it.

But, yeah. I found it neat watching my monitor get here from the other side of the world so quickly!

naraku · May 6, 2013

Now all I am worried about is the condition of my monitor. I really hope I don't get a bad one.

If the box looks like it went through a meat-grinder, refuse it.

Is it aryt to take a video while you are receiving it?

Not necessary if it never gets released into your hands. I wouldn't worry too much though, I got my monitor through the same shipper and it came flawless.

Oh aryt then. Thanks man. Now all I have to do is wait.
