I didn't see this topic when I posted mine about the dell I was thinking of getting https://www.overclockers.co.uk/dell...reen-led-monitor-midnight-grey-mo-084-de.html. I am this - close on buying it when it comes in stock but is there a big difference in pixelating or anything else between 27" and 24" 1440p?.

Hi, how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

£529

Maybe insane for some, but the prices do not look like they are coming down any time soon.

I actually ordered it from OCUK but they failed to dispatch on the day after order so cancelled and ordered from the folk that sell Kindle books. Expedited delivery so I have it tomorrow before the hols.

Defo getting this monitor when back in stock. At PC world its £499 but out of stock too. lol.

What the point in USB 3.0 on monitors I never had need one never mind 3. I would have preferred more HDMI slots so could put both X1 and PS4 on.

Guess its just handy for attaching devices should your PC be located somewhere out of reach.

Can you put keyboard and mouse on and have even more spare on PC?.

Yes, as long as the monitor is on the ports appear to be powered.

Impressed so far, the smoothness is unreal!

Only issue encountered is a random black flicker every few mins, particularly after launching another title. Anyone any ideas how to solve this?

It was a strange one, but restarted my system and used the DP cable supplied with the monitor, now all seems fine. May be my old cable?

Anyways, now I have had a good play around, have to say really impressed. The colours are great. I was expecting less after reading how TN panel apparently are, but not in the least disappointing. Probably notice a difference with an IPS sat next to it. Viewing angles not bad at all.

144hz with G-sync is ace, definitely allowing me to crank up the graphics a bit as the stuttering is not apparent when its in to 50-60 fps range as it was before.

BF1 is something else now! It was my experience with BF1 that started me looking to G-Sync as I had a very apparent lag, first game I really noticed it. Maybe the placebo effect, but certain I am doing better now. Playing classes that I avoided such as sniper and medic as I can actually hit moving targets now, instead of my old 'spray and pray' tactic!

Highly recommended, looking forward to experiencing a lot of my titles again with this display.

You just made me want it even more. Glad colours are good. What the desk top image size like. As when using 1440p DSR icon come small. Is it the same for native 1440p?. Yes I use normal 1080p on desktop just wounded what native be like. Thanks.

Icon size is perfectly manageable, plus you can increase of you don't like the sharper look. I came from 1440p so we'll use to it.
