Set mine up last night. Picture quality is amazing, very sharp and clear.

Looking forward to getting some games running on it.

Take much setting up or plug and play

I'd test it now just to make sure it doesn't have any dead pixels. You can DSR it if it does, which is worth doing because warranties usually only cover dead pixels over a certain amount and area. Tell this to your missus so you can play with it for a while It's a legitimate reason to do so!

I ordered 3 of these monitors and 2 out of 3 had stuck green pixels! :eek:

Its only 1920 by 1080. :/ For a 24" I would want at the very least 1920 x 1200.

Sadly they were really obvious, especially on a black background. One was just above centre and the other was about 4 inches from the top right corner.

Think ill test mine when i get home

Philz0r · 19 Dec 2012 at 17:34

Ok had a quick game of borderlands 2 and no dead pixels. Although 1080 didnt fill the screen but 1050 did. Is that normal?.

Like 1080 had a border about an inch big all around.

(noob alert)

I ordered one of these as part of a new build for an xmas prezzy. How are you getting on Philz0r?

I'm a bit concerned that your last post mentions 1080 resolution did not fill screen.

Philz0r · 19 Dec 2012 at 22:00

only had a 15 minute go, no dead pixels but yea, no idea why 1080 didnt fill the screen but 1050 did :/

the picture looked fantastic and the monitor itself looks well made.

You need to go into the graphics card settings and alter the scaling. I have ATI cards and the scaling options are under desktops and displays in the cataylst control panel. I'm not sure how it works on an Nvidia card.

Just got mine all chipped at the bottom!
Bad luck I guess

Jay_t · 20 Dec 2012 at 16:05

Just got another 3 of these and yet again 2 out of 3 have dead pixels. In total 4 out of 6 of these have pixel faults!

Philz0r · 20 Dec 2012 at 19:29
