2560x1440 IPS 27" LED Monitor on the Cheap!

Necrofire · Mar 28, 2012

I received mine today. Absolutely gorgeous.
One problem:
When gaming, monitor starts to blank for a sec, then come back, then blank again, then come back, then blank for about a minute. Only when gaming, but happens after I game for a bit too.

Watched a 1080p video and was using it for about 2 hours fine, but as soon as I fire up trine 2, things get wacky.

Got one Crossover and I have 2 more coming soon. Good bang for the buck LCD's but not on the same level as Dell's. Again, I'm only pay half of the Dell's.

Make sure to get a quality DVI-D cable.

The one that comes with the monitor is inadequate???

By the way: my new monitor has arrived :toast:

Obviously, i had to arrive just when i was starting to sleep (~2 PM).

Every single time i'm expecting a package, it arrives either too soon or too late :twitch:

- Need to step out for 5 minutes, it arrives within that time frame.
- Have to go to work, it arrives 10 minutes after i leave the house.

Typical ... :twitch:

Anyway, @ first it didn't work but today, after getting of work, i figured out the problem: the dual DVI was disabled in BIOS :eek:

How do i test for dead pixels? Is there a procedure to follow?

Thanks erocker for letting me know about this beauty: i had to pay an extra 139.75€ (customs ripoff) but it's worth it, me thinks!!!

erocker · Mar 28, 2012

If there are dead/stuck pixels you'll see them. The DVI cable that comes with it is crap.

n-ster · Mar 28, 2012

yea, while the quality of a digital cable doesn't matter much, it does matter a bit

Phusius · Mar 28, 2012

I tried using a my D-DVI cable that came with my Dell U3011, and it didn't work. So I tried the cable that came with my Catleap and it works perfect now.

It's still random luck to get the speakers or not in the catleap?

erocker · Mar 28, 2012

I think the SE versions do not have speakers.

Phusius · Mar 28, 2012

Mine came with speakers and tempered glass and I thought it wasn't going to have either of them. So yeah it is just random I guess. I don't like tempered glass monitors, but I will deal with it.

As far as calibration goes for a previous post, I use the 6500k icm profile or w.e it is called, I got it from a guy on overclock.net forums from a catleap topic.

This ^ . They do make mistakes though, so you might and a different model or a non-glossy screen with AG coating etc etc, they say their accuracy of the product is about 98%

I believe the PB2700 I bought does have speakers though

I have bought the SE with "Dual Input" which, according to the overclock.net list is with speakers:

5 models of the Q270 - Click Each to Visit Manufacturer's Website

1. With Speakers/Without Glass

2. With Speakers/With Glass

3. Without Speakers/Without Glass

4. Without Speakers/With Glass

5. Dual Input DVI/HDMI w/speakers w/o glass

n-ster · Mar 28, 2012

yea thats the exception lmao... #3 and 4 are SE models while #1 and 2 are non-SE models

how much did you pay for that dual input model?

No linkies to mfr website? I have no3 btw. Glad I don't have glass and don't use speaker monitors :toast:

radrok · Mar 28, 2012

From what I gather there is no Displayport, right? Not even miniDP?

n-ster · Mar 28, 2012

Unless I'm fooled by the "dual computer monitor"

edit:
this is the only "multi-input" variant it seems with DVI-D/HDMI/D-SUB
http://www.witechit.co.kr/product06-22.html

Anyway, I'm left confused about which screen I'm actually getting (in the end, I'll still only need 1 DVI port, the rest will be a bonus), ordered it last night when I got home (20:00 in Holland) and this morning at I checked the Fedex page to see that it's already in their distribution network

I think the dual is referencing to the fact that it's dual link not just single link

Dual-Link then, DVI-D as is doesn't say anything about that. (just being Digital)

right

it's silly to specify it really as single link can't do 2560x1440 AFAIK

that's right.. so "Dual computer monitor" really intrigues me :toast:

n-ster · Mar 28, 2012

No they meant DVI-D Dual [Link]

and then it's a computer monitor. Ebay title has a limited amount of space lol

Hold up, there's a model with HDMI? Link please, I want it!

n-ster · Mar 28, 2012

I believe the HDMI models are quite a bit more expensive http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAKASI-CA...er_Monitors&hash=item4ab4e22729#ht_9212wt_952
