@whyscotty. when it's dark this evening, can you turn the led ring off and photograph a completely black fullscreen jpg from the front (want to see bleed / brightness uniformity). would be grateful.

Sorry bro completely forgot

What I can tell you is a black screen in the dark looks horrid. :eek:

Typical colour shift for a TN panel.

However, non of it is noticeable in game.

Compared to my Benq XL 2420T's, vast improvement.

Nope just keeps on displaying whatever refresh rate I've set it to in the control panel, no matter how many times I press it

Not that i'm overly bothered tbh, I've got no need to change it on the fly whilst gaming

Press and hold it in

pre-rendered frames 1 And new drivers came out tonight .. May disable one card see that's any better ,I can hope ..

Why are you using pre-render?

You do have v-sync turned off in game?

Was a question - from skipping through the thread and reading some stuff elsewhere seems it doesn't work very optimally over 120Hz currently - does 144/135cap work better than 120 g-sync'd?

working fine for me @144hz

has anyone tried creating a custom 4k resolution then down sampling

4K downsampled @ 60hz with g-sync could make things very interesting

No joy I'm afraid

I was originally going for the Acer 4k2k G-sync, but you guys, especially the TFTCentral review, have convinced me and I have changed my order to the RoG Swift.

Enjoy

All these bad reviews, especially the ones about the build quality, have really put me off getting it.
I really want to like it though because on paper, it looks perfect

Shouldn't believe everything you read.

Get one yourself and make your own mind up.

ULMB should default to 100brightness, and i use pulse of 30-50 depending on map for BF4, that one map where you're in the tunnels is too dark to have the pulse low.

Found this too, especially Guilin Peaks

Reading through this thread, although it's taken a while, It seems this monitor is kind of faulty for most people

You usually only get posts/threads from people having issues.

Hey running a 3930k, 3 Titans I have thought of ditching 3 for 2.
2 cards seem to be an overall sweet spot more cards more problems.
Generally it's the dlc content of bf4 pearl market to name a few.
Someone did mention server lag

Same here, Pearl Market stutter fest with Tri sli

Sorry could someone help me out please? Too lazy to look through 100+ pages

Looking for a G-sync monitor, is there any problems/faults with this monitor? are there better alternatives or should I wait for something big thats coming out?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Any monitor can have issues.

Had mine since release and has been flawless.
