**DGM 27" LED IPS 2560x1440 ONLY £319.99 Inc. VAT (PRE-ORDER PRICE ONLY)!!**

But £299 sounds so much less! I can't justify over £300 haha! I have spent close to £2k in the last month with overclockers so maybe they could allow me £299 (PM me 5ub! Lol)

I tried for £299 as well but no cigar. However if you get £299 then i want £299.

Considering it was £380 a few hours ago, ill take £310 anyday. ;)
 
I'm gonna go in for the £199! Haha I was in the shop at the weekend and they forgot to give me my fans but I only realised when I got home, an hour and a half away! So surely they owe me a favour!

£311 is still a great price, but my main life goal is to now get it for £11 cheaper then you lol

Lol, well i wish you all the best. :p
 
Monitor has arrived. Has anyone else calibrated theirs and does it need an ICC profile?

Any good guides on how to do this?

I'm following this calibration guide. - http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dgm_ips-2701wph.htm

Do i use EDID in CCC?

Yes and yes. I set as per tft on the monitor and when i loaded the ICC profile the screen changed dramtically.

You have already seen tftcentral which i waht I sued. Better than noting at all but borrowing a proper calibrating device would be best

EDID? Absolutely no idea.
 
Greebo, how does it compare to your old NEC, i remember when looking at 24" monitors, the NEC was the yardstick that everything was judged against. Sadly i couldnt afford one at the time so settled for the benq fp241w. Looking now to maybe move to a higher res screen.

Ill be honest and say the blacks arent as black and the contrast isn't anywhere near the same -450sih contrast on this versus 800ish on the NEC.

If there was an NEC 27" I would buy it in an instant.

However, loving the new res, it isnt a TN screen (yuk) and overall pretty impressive especially since I got it for £199 ;)

But it's not a NEC screen but remember the NEC pva screens were £599 list price for a 24" screen which was top end so they should be good! Okay everywhere sold them off for £400 as they weren't selling but I read that at £400 NEC were making a loss on every screen sold! No wonder they weren't sold for too long.

I love my old NEC screen and I keep wondering wether I should swap back and sell the DGM but the DGM is pretty good and for the res it's worth it.

I mean to get the quality of the NEC 24" in a 27" screen you would be looking at £500 to £700 and I can't afford that!

Oh and my NEC 24" is for sale on MM ;)

Thanks for the feedback, regarding black depth. Thats always something that ive really liked about my current va panel'd benq, i used to use it for movies where it really excelled. However, ive now got a 32" 1080p telly hooked upto the pc for that. Being that the pc is used mainly for games now, im finding the lure of higher res hard to resist. Yup, it probably means needing really high end gpu/s which would mean adding another gtx 670 to my current setup. But then i think the 3570k will be a bit of a bottleneck. As for your NEC mate, no can do tbh, need to save funds. I came very close to making an offer on a second hand fp241w in members market, but tbh it would be hard to get dual 24" monitors and a 32" telly on my desk. Theyd have looked sweet though being identical, but space is at a premium.:D
 
I had no issues at all with the 470's on the old 920 rig, (4.2ghz cpu, 750mhz core on the gpu's). Read a few threads were particularly with the latest cards, nv600/amd700. At higher res a non ht cpu can bottleneck an sli/xfire system. Never got to try the 470's in the current rig, but from running the 670 in the old 920 and the current rig, i seen quite a drop in certain parts of 3dm11, cpu and physics being of note. Bf3 is a game that tends to show it up aswell. Bf3 actually felt a bit smoother in the old 920 compared to my current 3570k. Ill have to test it a bit more, as i still have a 930 based rig, just transfer the 670 into it.

These are great monitors currently have three of them ( got one for £199 on OCUK's grand opening sale at the store).

Love them, such great displays and also extremely good price, i'd put them up with the display in my iMac in terms of quality.
 
Was there not a Hazro lcd monitor on sale a while back that was the same panel as used in mac displays? Glass screen model iirc, my bro in law has a brand new mac, and i gotta admit, i love the screen that it came with.
