Hey everyone,
So I've had my banger rig for 6 years and have been on 1050p and 1080p and its mandatory for me to upgrade to 1440p goodness. Being a concept artist and illustrator (who needs pretty good colour accuracy to a degree), I've realised that making the jump from a TN panel to an IPS/PLS panel is the way to go for sure. My secondary use will be for gaming.
I have a few questions:
1) I found out gtx 780 Ti cards allow unlocking of refresh rates for monitors, i.e. overclocking monitors to higher refresh rates instead of the factory 60Hz, e.g. from 60Hz to 85Hz. This is done via the nvidia panel. My question is how much would this damage a monitor? there doesn't seem to be any information on the web laying out the risks of over-clocking a monitor, does anyone have experience on this in terms of voltage and warranty details, e.g. would manufacturers be able to tell if you've overclocked a monitor?
2) I've been looking at the AOC 27" Q2770PQU IPS monitor and according to a few people (like PCM2 and MOOGLEYS on here) it beats the U2713HM because it generally handles motion better and is around £50-100 cheaper. The Asus pb278q is out of the question as it has worse factory calibration out of the box and isn't as responsive and the track record for quality control/customer service is awful (as I've heard on these forums too). However Dell have much better customer service, despite their quality control issues with the U2713HM.
3) I've done a bit of research and according to my findings, IPS panels should generally provide better blacks and contrast ratio when comparing against PLS panels, but how does this actually play out in the real world with these technologies? If anyone specifically has insight on the U2713HM and the AOC Q2770PQU then please post it here
Any help would be appreciated!
Kindest regards,
Carl
