Yer, I did find it a bit too bright from the off and this in turn made colours look washed. I fiddled about a fair bit and have finally settled on:

Brightness 65%
Contrast 100%
Gamma 1.00

All other settings are defalut and this for me gives better, deeper colours.

Cheers greg ill use that when I get mine in may.

Would this monitor be any good for a Photographer ? Photoshop ect , What's the colours like ?

I would say stick to IPS for that in truth. Over 1 billion colours on this but still the IPS is deeper.

Nice man,How's it running on your 780?

its running perfect man , but when i first time hooked up monitor and start bf4 i get like 55 frames with was disappointment. but later when i went to Nvidia control panel i find out i have disabled SLI from last time driver update (few days ago)
so i enable sli and frames went up nicely . now i getting around 85-90 FPS on Ultra with all maxed up with is surprising very good for 4k resolution .
But i think i will sell my 4 month old Asus PB278Q WQHD monitor and get one more 780ti to get total 3-way SLI and enjoy true 4k glory

Oooh this is interesting. No MST? How, he mentioned DP1.2, but that's needed for MST. 1.3 does away with it.

Just check your GPU to make sure it supports the resolution and has DP1.2.

As answered, you will be fine. The monitor comes with a DP lead and just plug and play

Don't be an eejut like me though and uninstall drivers and reinstall drivers because the screen didn't show up....Make sure you turn it on

Why can't this monitor just be in the UK yet

I'm thinking of holding off till the whole free sync thing though?

bakes0310 · 17 Apr 2014 at 12:56

Greg you have had the monitor now for a while do you still agree that 2xAA is all that's needed?
Vsync needed?

I doubt freesync will be out soon from what I have read and a lot are hinting at this taking a year or more before we see the first panels.

Absolutely. I have been running games with different settings and thinking "Ohh, I must have this on 8XMSAA and when I checked, it was on 2XAA. Certainly no need for full AA and some decent games could have 0 AA and still look fantastic.

I will do some 4K PNG's resized to 1080P and show the difference between them later.
