Ignore Easy, seems he can't be satisfied in the monitor department ;) :D

If this is the same as the Swift then you'll love it :)

Lets see - my first g-sync monitor and I've been happily playing on a 60hz 1440p monitor for this long anyway :)
 
At least you'll be able to give it a try, if your not happy it can be returned. I'll admit I was a bit sceptical myself. But when a swift came up at a decent price, I had to give it a try. My fears were quickly allayed after a few minutes in game. I put up with eight years of gaming on a very high end for its time benq 60hz 24" screen. Input lag, tearing. Both now only a memory.:D
 
Well it's clear that g-sync has it's benefits and is clearly highly spoken off. I hope it lives up to expectations.

Now I just need to get BF4DB to sort their crap out and stop me being kicked.
 
Has anymore came from a dell 24 IPS to this? I currently have a u2412m (low end model). I have a iDisplay Pro calibrater but if its going to look washed out i'm just going to be disappointed. Like most really want an ips, g-sync, 100+hz with no dead pixels and no bleed lol, but am nervous about all the quality issues with them and the cost that goes with it and dont want any hassle of returning. any thoughts.
 
Got one of these coming today. Its my first G-sync screen so cant wait. To get me up to speed can anyone let me know of anything I should be aware of both putting togther and setting up the screen. Is there anything inside the NVCP that I should enable disable. Ie vsync etc. As far as I'm aware I enable g-snyc and diable adaptive sync vsync tripple buffing etc etc..

And one more thing can anyone link me to the TFT ICC profile that's talked about in here and how do I install it ?

One last thing whats the app I saw someone use on here that fills teh screen black, white, then green,red and blue to test for dead pixels etc.

Anything else I should be looking out for to make sure I have a good quality panel that doesn't need to go back.

Sorry about all the question But Id like to give it a good test tonight after work and make sure its up to scratch.:p
 
you could just use fill option in MS Paint and save a number of colours in a folder and use the slideshow (F11?) option of picture viewer which will cycle between all images in the folder.

As for colour I recommend tweaking via NCP - lower gamma and increase digital vibrance to taste.

Got mine this morning and its very impressive...loving G-Sync it makes things super smooth:D

What has surprised me is how TN has improved since i last had one a few years ago..viewing angles on this panel dont seem anywhere near as bad as they used to be on the older TNs...ok colours cant match that of my korean ips monitor but there not bad at all.

So far so good :D
 
Can anyone post up there settings they are using, had a quick look at lunch time and it seems the Out of the box ones are not great.
 
Well just been testing a few game mostly racing games i play and wow what a great monitor and G-sync is the icing on the cake:D

p cars
asetto corsa
raceroom
dirt rally
f1 2015

Does G-sync do anything to the graphics like smoothing ect because things appear to look better or maybe my korean monitor was just not that good lol.

Off to try some more game no racing games this time :p
