Asus PB278Q, can anyone recommend some settings ? + Overclocking to 75hz AMD.

I received my Asus PB278Q earlier today, on first impressions it looks great.

Can someone recommend some settings to get the best out of the display, thanks.

Cheers Nocky, thats helpful.

To be fair it looks excellent with the stock settings but as with anything you can always improve things.

Ive heard with a Nvidia GPU that its very easy to overclock this to 75hz and apparently it makes a huge difference, is their any easy way to do this with an AMD card ?

My GPU is a Sapphire 7970 Vapor X 3GB, in Catalyst control each time you try to change it to 75hz @ 2560 x 1440 it just reverts back to 60hz.

I'm giving your settings a go, they were very similar to what i had but my brightness was only 40 and contrast 75. Everything else was the same, its brighter now with the brightness at 57, the picture was superb anyway but as with anything you can always improve things.

How much light bleed is acceptable on a monitor like this ?

On mine its generally ok, i have one area at the top right about 5 nches in from the edge where you can notice it when watching a movie in a dark scene, the rest of the screen seems to be fine.

It sounds like a gamble having one replaced as you could end up with one thats even worse, it will probably be a refurb as well or do Asus have to replace a monitor with a new one in a sealed box ? Its just ive never had to deal with Asus for warranty replacements.
