Yup, you can still change the response timing setting. When using a preset mode, the options which you can no longer change will be greyed out for you.

I haven't noticed any issues with the high preset but decided just to stick with medium in the end as it is the recommended setting since image sticking "may" occur with the high setting but during the time I did have mine set to high, I couldn't notice any issues.

Not sure about game mode but on this monitor it is terrible anyway, image is just blue and horrible looking. I think the input lag is pretty much 0 already.

Overall, can't say that I have any issues with MP online gaming.

Perfect thanks mate...

just need to wait for my cable to turn up now

Just out of interest seeing as I did not know about the limitations of HDMI and res on this Monitor I am guessing by moving to DP cable I will get a more viewing angle left to right as currently on HDMI i am only seeing a stretched 1920 res?

hardkore · 20 Aug 2014 at 16:15

You can only get 1920x1080 using HDMI?

Just ordered one, fingers crossed its a good one

Nexus18 · 20 Aug 2014 at 16:39

Yup you should see more at the sides! (at least for content that supports the 21.9 aspect ratio and 2560x1080 res.)

Does this monitor actually have the display port 1.2 setting in the OSD? the 95 model which I have does but I don't use it as it just gives me crazy tearing and flickering.. I guess its just because the 290 cards don't support 1.2 properly and not the actual display port cable that came with the monitor?

Nexus18 · 20 Aug 2014 at 17:44

Yup they do matson.

And not sure why that is, but would imagine it is down to the GPU's.

I am just using a DVI-D cable.

Damn, unlucky

You going to contact ocuk to get it repaired then?

I've not had it long and the thought of sending it back and having to use my crap 24" TN monitor is a horrible thought.

Not sure yet - I was hoping to get my graphics card back and test it on that but I'm still waiting.

Nexus18 · 21 Aug 2014 at 10:13

Ah I thought you had got your GPU back going by your BL 100FPS post!

Not yet

Apparently if the unit isn't DOA, it can take 28 days to repair/replace.

hardkore · 21 Aug 2014 at 18:09

Well, new monitor all set up and my oh my :cool:

Awesome colours, a bit of bleed bottom left but it doesnt really bother me. Just had a few rounds of plants vs zombies garden warfare and it was brilliant.

My new set up, sorry for the bad picture!

Nexus18 · 21 Aug 2014 at 18:23

looking good! :cool:

Yup and if it takes longer than that, you can ask for a refund then (although might not get the full price back)

KiiYzOo · 21 Aug 2014 at 18:47

I envy the fact that you have a white air 540

stupid black air 540

hardkore · 21 Aug 2014 at 19:38

Haha

You don't normally see white ones about on Ocuk so I went for one. Awesome cases!

snips86x · 21 Aug 2014 at 20:33

Just checked my backlight bleed under 50% brightness, I have the smallest amount in the bottom left corner, but that's it.

I'm unable to locate any other bleed of IPS glow :cool:

what a bargain

KiiYzOo · 21 Aug 2014 at 20:35

White cases are my favourite, especially if they're white and orange

uksoldierboy · 22 Aug 2014 at 17:32

Decided to get this monitor rather than go 4k, going to wait for next gen cards before moving.

Really excited to get this and try a few movies and games.

Nexus18 · 22 Aug 2014 at 22:52

Nice! Welcome to the club :cool:

And yeah still don't get all the fuss for 4k monitors atm:

- price - majority are TN, a few IPS but they cost an absolute fortune, rather get a top end TV for that sort of price....
- quite a few problems with them
- need at least 2 top end GPUs to run games on high settings at acceptable FPS
- 4k res. is a bit pointless for monitors smaller than 34" imo

BTW snips, maybe get the thread title changed a bit? no need to have the widescreen part repeated twice imo

Something like this instead?

Ok, its been a few days so i thought i'd post my very amateur opinions on it

I was worried to begin with that lots of games i play would not display properly at 2560x1080. So far i've played these games with no issues...

Men of war assault squad
Sniper Elite 3
Kerbal space program
Bioshock infinite
Chivalry : medieval warfare
PvZ Garden warfare

The colours are excellent, no blurring and i have my monitor set to 10 brightness, plenty enough for me. I'd go as far to say that i wish i went super wideboy earlier.

Love it!!!

uksoldierboy · 23 Aug 2014 at 17:05

Got mine today, extremely impressed so far, not check for bleeding or ips glow, what's the best way to test?

Matson · 23 Aug 2014 at 17:21

The problem with going ultra wide is that going back to 16:9 would feel like a downgrade

even at 4k lol
