** AOC Q2770PQU Owners Thread **

[Panos]

I changed the resolution to 60hz and indeed saw tearing in the eye and scared me off.

Initially was generating 80fps, and thought maybe at 1440 it will be better since higher resolution will lower my fps.


So lowered the speed of the graphic card to hit around 60 fps on TESO

Tried again nothing. I put the monitor to 120hz, while the card was underclocked and the game looked "normal". No stuttering. Set the card back to 1293 mhz.

I will wait until 2560x1440 comes in 120hz flavour. I tend to play with vsync off and never had issue with tears, stutter or any other of the "known" issues since I got this monitor.

Cheers

anyone have any advice for the best settings for gaming on this monitor?

thanks.

I would check reviews from OP, maybe they have some suggestions.

ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q is coming in June but it is still TN panel. However it will be very expensive. If I sold my Benq 2420T I would have to add more than £350 to have one. For £350 I get AOC. This way I got good gaming screen and glorious PLS screen for everyday use. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea.

 

[Panos]

I do not disagree. I like the AOC and ASUS ROG going to be at daft price also.

Has anyone managed to overclock the monitor to 85hz+

One of these arrived from OcUK this morning The extra real estate over my 22" 1680x1050 monitor is fantastic, the colours are also really good too. I was also surprised how much cooler these new monitors run over my older Dell.

Only hiccup was I spent a few minutes wondering why it would only display 1080p, then I realised my old cable was only a DVI single link so I replaced it with the included dual link cable and that fixed it *facepalm*

I'll have to see how my 6950 copes with games on it tonight and this weekend, I'll probably flash the BIOS to a 6970 for the time being and look at getting something with a bit more grunt shortly.

.

I just used the single DVI that came with it and got the full res, is hdmi limited to 1080p as i found out with this monitor, can you get your screen saver to work with this monitor, as i can't

Yeah, the cable that comes with it will work with 1440p as it's a dual link cable, my old one was a single link (missing a group of pins in the centre of the connector).

Not tested a screensaver as I left for work shortly after it arrived, to be honest I've always had windows put my monitors into sleep mode rather than a screensaver. I can give it a try though just to see.

Cheers Col, i have tried the e saver menu and control panel but cant get s saver to kick in, never had this before.

 

[Col_M]

I just got home, I turned on a screensaver went to get a cuppa and it was on when I got back, seems like I don't have the same issue. Hopefully you get to the bottom of it!

My settings.

Just wondering if e-saver is conflicting with control panel.

 

[rdb2012]

Will this be on discount again anytime soon anyone know?

Thanks

It could be that, I haven't installed any of the software.

I read here that someone overclocked the Q2270PQU to 85hz

So I made a custom refresh rate to my Benq to 85hz and I must say it looks the same at on the 120hz. Nice and smooth.

While at 60hz has some lag and tearing, at 85hz looks ok. So going to put an order for the AOC tomorrow

Cheers.

I ran mine at 85Hz but tbh I cannot tell the difference between 60 & 85 so re-set it to 60Hz.

How do you manage to overclock it? I have had a poker around CCC and found anoptionto 'force' refresh rate, but anything over 60hz its not giving me the option of 1440p. Triedon both 14.4 and like 11.12 drivers

With Nvidia you can force a custom resolution. Not sure how you do it on AMD as never tried.

If I'd waited a few days I could have saved £2

Have you tried this tip LINK

I've ordered the AOC Q2770PQU while its £348, and going to return my 34um65. Similar pixels in a 16:9 format. Saving me £200 also

Has anyone had problems with obtaining hdmi sound at 2560x1440 @ 60hz.
I find the sound is being played back at a higher frequency (mickey mouse voices), and reducing the framerate
back to 38hz seems to correct this. (I have not tried to establish highest frequency which works)
Audio stream being used is 2 PCM channels at 44.1KHZ

Initially, using powerstrip (with nvidia card) I had defined a VESA timing without Reduced blanking, which evidently pushed
the limits of my hdmi cable, the 1m cable would drop the link (temporary black screen as though cable
unplugged) every 5 minutes or so, and a longer 5m cable would not work at all.

These were the Powerstream (reduced blanking) timing at 60hz that caused frequency shift

>>>
PowerStrip timing parameters:
2560x1440=2560,48,32,80,1440,3,5,33,241500,528
Generic timing details for 2560x1440:
HFP=48 HSW=32 HBP=80 kHz=89 VFP=3 VSW=5 VBP=33 Hz=60
>>>>>

and these are the 38Hz setting that give correct audio
