Eizo FORIS FS2735 IPS 27" 144hz 2650x1440 - Freesync

Here is the picture of the dell's white output it has a yellow tinge however to the naked eye this tinge is not easy to see IMHO. Apart from the washed out colours I think the screen is a real treat. The stand is wobbly, this only becomes really noticeable if your screen resides on a non-solid surface such as a glass table or weaker office desk. As you type the screen wobbles with it.

I am finding the screen a little more tiring to work with for extended periods. I am going to try turning the brightness down to see if that fixes it.



Tried G-Sync for a couple of hours, I don't really like it at high frame rates, will try something a bit more stressful with a lower frame-rate.

Hi, Yes it sure is a great screen.

I did not purchase from Japan, I bought from a UK based retailer however, a lot of the current stock seems to be held in Germany.
 
Sorry, I have been away. I will post more thoughts up soon.

I think I am suffering from eye strain from both the Dell and the Eizo. I am going to switch the resolution down on both screens to 1080p and play with the colour temps. I have a hunch that its the PWM on the LED back-light causing me problems on both screens, I am hoping this is not the case.

Can over-drive cause eye-strain ? My macbook pro has an LED backlight and i have no problems with eye strain.

Neither model is PWM-regulated, so that's not the issue. You could be finding something about the screen surface, size or brightness bothersome. F.lux or lowering the blue colour channel is certainly worth a try.
 
the old rig it is currently connected to has 4 custom water cooled 980s in it. 3 of them might as well be door-stops.

new rig is single 980ti custom aio. I usually play in low detail so cpu is usually limiting factor. skylake with fast ddr4 leaves my old sandybridge-e rig for dead.
 
Ok so setting the Eizo to 1080p and ECOView to enhanced has eliminated my eyestrain. The Ecoview uses a light sensor to calibrate the brightness on the fly, in normal mode it was a bit too dark, enhanced is perfect.

I will make the resolution change to the Dell during the week and see if I have cracked it.

Migraine lasted in total for 5 days.

I don't have a problem with the 4k monitor I have next to the Eizo as I do not look at it long enough.
 
I will be receiving this monitor heh later this evening (2-3 hours).

My reason for getting this rather expensive monitor are the following:
• I already have an Eizo S2431W Flexscan monitor, but it is over 5 years old now, and looks worn. I like it a lot.
• This 27" FS2735 model, not being a 4k monitor, seem like a natural upgrade from my old 24", 1920x1200 resolution, "IPS" panel.
• I can't stand the thought of spending a lot of money (heh) for a monitor, and yet still perhaps end up with several bad pixels on it. Eizo appear to have a no bright pixel warranty, and that has some appeal to me.
• I have some spare money. Otherwise I probably couldn't justify spending this kind of money on this new 27" Eizo monitor.

As a side note: I thought maybe Eizo manufactured their own panels, but according to Eizo:
"EIZO do not produce raw panels for our monitors, they are made from different manufacturer to EIZO´s specifications, mainly from Mitsubishi, Sharp, Panasonic, LG, Samsung but im not aware of which one we use in FS2735, could be from two sources to secure supply. "

As I understand it, with FS2735 (and correct me if I am wrong), freesync doesn't work together with motion blur reduction mode afaik, from reading reviews. So as I understand it, one has to chose between the two. At least LFC (low framerate compensation) function seems promising. Would be nice to get to have the monitor run with freesynch up to 144hz, and maybe have LFC help smooth things when the framerates dip below the upper freesync range for the FS2735.

Anyway, I am looking forward to find out how to best make use of the "paper" mode, for reducing the blue light off the screen, to better prepare for sleep later in the evening.

With the S2431W model I have now, I can simply press one button at the front of the monitor to cycle through various modes. Hopefully I can get to use the software for the monitor inside Windows to easily cycle between SRGB and some mode with custom settings for lowering the blue light.
 
Aw, shucks! The local seller apparently shipped me this monitor, having covered the box with anonymous black plastic. The package had no warning labels on it.

My package arrived obviously bruised. Dented, and with the cardboard packaging teared in three places, of 5cm, 10m, and finally a 20cm tear on one of the big sides.

I am considering a return on my particular item. I am being told by the seller this evening that their people won't be back until monday next week.

I want to try find out if I can take note of the serial number, so that they don't simply ship this thing back to me in a new box later on.

Luckily I am a patient guy.

Do you have a dynamic refresh rate counter on your FS2735 ? Like the Asus, too see the instantaneous refresh rate with freesync use.
 
I have not come across any form of refresh rate counter that is always shown on the screen.

After taking some crisp photos of my damaged packaging for this monitor, I decided to open the box, and the first thing I looked for was to check for any indication at all, if the panel had been scratched or dented the slightest, and luckily there was no trace of impact on the screen, nor into the protective sheet that covered the screen.

Undoubtedly, had someone punched hard in the side of the packaging, the panel would 100% be damaged, because the packaging material inside the box only cover the top and bottom of the monitor, not the front and rear side of the monitor.
 
First impressions, now that I have the FS2735 monitor running:

• All text, has become a little smaller. More pixels on the screen obviously.
• The monitor can be lowered by a lot (Edit: looks like there will be at least 3cm free space underneath the panel edge). In order to use the four buttons on the backside, there has to be some space underneath the monitor so that you can reach to the buttons from where you sit at the front of the monitor.
• No bright pixels, or any weird ones that I can see. There was this speck of dust that had me worried for a few seconds. The speck of dust sort of looked like a half bright pixel :)
• The edges of the panel seem slick and thin (roughly one cm each on the top and on the sides).
• The ugly stand doesn't look as bad now that I have the lit display to look at.
• I hope I can use Eizo's G-Ignition software to swiftly switch between color modes (srgb/movie/blue light reduction). Not sure what the "game mode" is good for.
• Having done a reinstall of Win 7, I tuned windows' Clear type feature. Still, the text on this forum, has some kind of shadow or something behind the letters. Not sure what that is yet. [SOLVED]

Edit: It looks to me that the paper mode creates this kind of effect behind the text.

• With more pixels on the screen, than I am used to, I now have more free space in my web browser to add bookmarks. :)
• Apparently, the G-Ignition software allows for setting up hotkeys for stuff, so I for example use Ctrl + F9 key to immediatly cycle through the various display modes (srgb/movie/blue light reduction, etc). Nice!
• Not sure, but it seems perhaps to me that the FS2735 monitor is less bright than my older S2431W monitor which I had the brighness reduced down from 100% to about 40%, having felt the heat from sitting in front of that screen lol.
• The Eizo FS2735 allow for having different brightness settings for each mode (srgb/movie/blue light reduction, etc). This monitor has six additional slots for custom values/settings (in addition to srgb, etc), though you don't have to cycle through all the empty slots, only the ones you set.
• The Eizo FS2735 monitor is noticeably more slim than my old Eizo S2431W Flexscan monitor.
• The old Eizo S2431W had a weight of 13.6Kg, while the new Eizo FS2735 has a weight of 9+Kg.

I had to go to the advanced tab in windows when looking at the resolution settings, to switch from 60Hz to 144Hz!.

Having already made sure that I ran the monitor in high range for freesync in the hidden 'administrator' menu, and already having enabled freesync in AMD's Crimson panel, the power light only turned RED after switching from 60 to 144Hz in the windows settings.

In order to get to the hidden administrator menu on the monitor for setting the freesync settings, the monitor has to be first turned off (just press the round power on/off button), and then hold the arrow button up while pressing power button for a couple of seconds.

According to a reviewer, the RED light only seem to indicate that the settings are set to freesync frequencies, however according to this reviewer it doesn't guarantee that freesync is actually working on the monitor as I understand it. *shrugs*

Oh, lol, I found the old box for my old "Eizo S2431W Flexscan" monitor.

The box that comes with the Eizo FS2735 is nearly half the size of the box for S2431W. :D
 
I usually play Sa-Matra Wasteland (multiplayer) on Arma 3, and those huge files take a while to download, so I haven't tested gaming yet. Not sure what to expect. Never used a freesync monitor before.

Here are some photos btw. The first ones taken close to the table surface:
This is the lowest I could make the panel go. Screen in upright position:

Screen somewhat rotated upwards:

An mini jack for headphones on the left side here. And the Eizo logo is seen here as well:

This is the red light. Distinctly 'red', but this red light does not seem distracting. The tiny smudge seen on the frame is from a small sticker that had been placed onto this corner of the panel:

The two usb ports are on the left side of the screen:

The buttons on the backside (input selector, color button, four way button, power button):

I installed Overwolf (came with Teamspeak 3 install), and when playing Arma 3 I am seeing a dynamic FPS counter on the top left side of the screen. I suspect that this might simply be from the Overwolf software that I now have installed.
