You don't need to use it for consoles. How about connecting a mac or laptop for example?! Yes it is a gaming monitor but that doesn't mean you can't use it for other purposes!

Yeah I know, seen that some of you guys have other needs for it then console gaming, so sure it would have been better with more, have never heard of a monitor with only one conection when I thinks of it.
 
Mine is arriving tomorrow AM. Got from another Vendor as Gibbo had confirmed they were OOS a few weeks ago.

Can't wait. Shame I'm away with work until Thursday pm
 
Does any one know of a good site that you that lets you Calculate mouse sensitivity from 1080p to 1440p for games like BF4 coming from 1080p to 1440p the mouse sensitivity needs a change and wanted to try to keep what i had when i was 1080p so that needs to be Calculate to match it to the new res 1440p , I have found a site that let you Calculate mouse sensitivity but they do not let you do it by the res just by DPI and adding in your old in game sensitivity , Them sites seem to work on 4:3 factor . I need to get real data from changing the res to 1440p ,And seem to be having no luck finding a good site that can do this ...

You play BF4 how are you getting on with G-SYNC if thats what your using ??


For me i still getting problems like stuttering with a ping of 6ping and frames high as 120 set to 144hz g-sync on .

Just finding it a little strange :(

Are you getting stuttering when GPU usage is maxed out ?

I'm finding that with a few games such as Crysis 3 and BF4 that if I max the graphics especially with some AA, even though I have fps above 60 like in Crysis 3 my game will stutter when turning with my mouse. But if I use a controller it's nice and smooth. Not sure if this is some kind of mouse problem, gsync problem or something else, but for me, some games still stutter at max GPU usage (780 SLI) even with alright fps.

Edit :

Getting round 85% on both cards when i looked last time .But never really looked at the GPU usage when playing to be totally honest i have precision x 64bit in game ,But never really looked at it when i got the stuttering ,This stuttering don't seem right ! .. I think this G-sync thing is not all that its cracked up to be ,To be totally honest with you .. If i never knew this had 144hz and g-sync and i walked into a room and they said to me play a game on that screen then try the other one ,For me the BenQ play's and feels smoother And I am finding that a little strange .This monitor was not just for the higher res but for the G-sync as well ,That a lone should blow any other gaming monitor out the water .. Kind makes no sense ,I wonder if there are problems with G-SYNC that as not yet been ironed out .. Maybe I should have waited for Gen 2.0 not got the first batch or models Gen 1.0..

Funny thing is i just left a game and now i have really bad headache never got many headaches when playing on the BenQ 27T 1080p kinder of strange my head is pounding now after playing with this monitor :( A wise man once said live and learn ,

If it aint broke, don't fix it!

Was going to buy one but today decided to spend the money elsewhere on a full squat rack with Olympic bar and bench.

I'm going to wait till the new year when hopefully there's a selection of a few 1440p 144hz gsync monitors available.

Can you confirm that the power LED on the monitor turns red when you fire up a game? Gsync only works with the game set to full screen so if you are running BF4 in windowed mode it might not be activating. You really shouldn't be seeing stutter with gsync on so it does seem strange.

Well the only thing I can suggest is to restore the global settings in nvidia control panel back to defaults and set gsync only. Might be one of the other settings conflicting with it. You can also try settings pre-rendered frames to 1 (but I think you already said you did that earlier in the thread?)

If that doesn't work then a fresh driver install might help. Otherwise I'm stumped

Yeah they were all done all ready :(

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

You have this monitor right ? Read so many things a round the net and hard to keep track .

Yep had it since Saturday, not had any of the problems that you are describing though. I'm running SLI 780Tis and haven't had to touch anything, not even pre-rendered frames.

I've not tried BF4 yet though so maybe its an issue with that specifically. I'll give it a go tomorrow night and see how I get on with it.

OK thanks ....

Getting closer to go back to my BenQ .The G-sync if its working as it should be it as not made me a fan and i would say to any one looking to buy a G-sync monitor don't get one just for that because i see nothing that's jumps out at me .. if you have a good 24inch 120hz stick with that for now and wait for Gen 2.0 G-sync . Unless there is a new firmware .

For me with this monitor it some how seems to feel worse in game over the BenQ in smoothness i mean ,OK yes I've only tried BF4 but that's my main game at the moment I play that the most of all , So why not test in that. Don't believe all the reviews there making money from telling you some thing you want to hear by saying its amazing you all have your own minds so you can make up your mind and buy what ever you want ,Maybe my one as some thing wrong with it I really don't know ,red light is on in game stating that G-sync is being used all its all so set to 144hz so i cant see the problem why does it not feel smooth ,A lot of money to feel disappointed . If i went got a Ferrari I don't think i would be disappointed . Out of all the monitors I've had to date this is by far the best looking and the new 1440p for a TN panel is out standing the image is crisp and clear you could not wish for more from a gaming monitor then we go back to G-sync how ever and for me i feel let down ,Maybe i was looking at it all the wrong way and was hopping for ultra smoothness ,Is that not what it should do i just don't know any more at this time i feel like i am out pocket by £700 even if i was to resell the monitor i wont not get my money back ,

Oh well here's to hopping i can get it working to a point i'm happy :)
