Benq BL3200PT

I posted a couple of crummy pics here and I'll try and stick up a few better quality ones later today.

A mate of mine bought the 34" LG last week and is considering sending it back. Maybe his unit is a lemon, but the backlight bleed on it is really bad and combined with the usual IPS glow it just looks awful showing dark shades. The comparison with the BenQ's deep blacks and minimal bleed is quite shocking.
 
Still loving this screen after a few days use, one cool feature is the smart scaling which lets you customise the scaling of non-native content to get the image nice and sharp. My Ps4 @ 1080p looked ok at full screen size but setting to 1:1 with smart scale 75 gives a great picture and almost fills the screen.

Please post some pics and quick/mini review! I'm dying to buy this thing for gaming ;)
 
Holy actual ****!!

This thing is AMAZING!

Quick pic from phone...make my U2412M look like a toy

Picture barley does it justice...this monster looks so impressive on your desk

I appear to have won the panel lottery too; absolutely no dead/stuck pixels, no banding that I can see and no backlight bleed on full black at all.

Had a quick play on Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein - man this thing is a game changer for my PC gaming experience!

I've never used any of these 120/144hz panels so I can't compare it to them, but I saw very little lag or ghosting during intense gaming scenes, I would say it's no better or no worse than other high end 60Hz panels regarding responsiveness - gladly my GTX780 is powering all the pixels quite well!

I'm off out to a BBQ with the missus tonight - but I'll get a lot more pics and observations up at some point tomorrow (once that hangover is gone :D )

especially like Dark Souls 2 which are hard coded for 16:9 only & VAC protected so no-way to run mods.

Except for GeDoSaTo which will basically allow you to run it at any resolution you want and allows for some types of modding. Not sure if it will support non-16:9 resolutions though, and too lazy to check :P

Edit: And talk of over 60hz — who's going to try overclocking their panel and see what they get?

I'm seriously very interested in this over the 60hz 27" TN I currently have! Me is blind! Want those extra 5" a lot! :)
 
hi to all guys, im ruben from italy, i hope you can help me! i've bought one month ago, a macmini (late 2012) with hd4000 to replace my imac27. i've connected it to a samsung t27d590ew (TV - MONITOR) with horrible results: even in full hd with the hdmi cable, or vga, or thunderbolt, i had a lot of problems in terms of crispness of text. so i've sold it. i would like to buy a good screen for my macmini so ive seen this awesome monitor. what do you think about it? will i have always problems???
