PCM2 - you should start saying how amazing asus is even when they release trash, you would probably get a free one then!

Heh. I couldn't bring myself to lie... Although I could say such things and then redact the statements afterwards.

Great to hear, really looking forward to your thoughts on it.

"Only $799 in America but £720 in UK ($1235)."

This has put me off this monitor.

We bend over every day when purchasing electronic goods.

OEM added margin for UK + UK TAX + Retailer margin = yuk!

I can actually order the rog swift here in denmark with an expected delivery date of 24 juli 2014 for 620 pounds and thats with shipping.

Hope you do not need to RMA it, be PIA and costly but then again some manu's make us send stuff to Holland (Corsair) or Germany (EVGA).

Yea it's cheaper to import them from another EU country than buy one locally in the UK :/

ive heard that before, that you british people are actually paying a bit more for hardware than the rest of us regardless of retailer.

The very same reason the 120HZ overclocked Korean models have 1 input.

Having multiple inputs on a multiplier adds input lag.

That's completely untrue. Having multiple inputs adds absolutely no input lag whatsoever. The controller only uses whichever interface is active.

Lowest input lag TFTs atm are the BenQ 144hz model on 'direct' mode. They all have multiple inputs (except for the still unreleased G-Synch models).

@Gibbo are you still on first batch pre-orders?

He mentioned a few page or so back that they are full up for first batch.

I know you have contacts at BenQ ... have they made any indication when they're likely to start shipping 2560x1440 144hz monitors?

So why do reviews claim that and the site that all those Korean monitors are talked about on and 1 certain monitor I read above a few weeks back has an extra input on a separate multiplier to avoid lag. (cannot remember where I read it or if it was on YT).

QUOTE:

Up first is a display which has been touted for years as a very low latency monitor, the Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP. This monitor only has a Dual-Link DVI connection, meaning that there is no scaler chip included, so latency should be low.

Assume scaler chip is same as multiplier and they are not talking about upscaling like TV's do with SD to HD.
