Yamakasi Catleap 27" 100mhz IPS

Surveyor · 1 Apr 2012 at 02:09

From the link in the original post:

• All older (READ: those shipped in February 2012 - 2B models) Catleap monitors seem to hit 85hz+ (97hz 100hz+ being the highest so far, which is the GPU's limit at this resolution).

• Newer Catleaps seem to have a top OC limit of 65-67hz. Very few people have received OC-ready Catleaps in March 2012.

And the manufactors all seem up for it. Seriously maybe one of the buyers on this site should contact them about a nice OCUK branded one

OCUK Would make a fortune on them if they stocked them..

Hmm. I just bought second 6950 as i think i might buy one of these next month

Of the different models.. Wich ones would have the best pciture quality? I don't feel I need the OC that much really... Those prices just seem too good to pass over.
Monitor stands seems all to be not too good, and a bit wobly....

Just a heads up for you, the 6950 struggles with the resolution in games, I couldn't run the games at the settings I wanted with it (mainly skyrim not running at the highest settings and The Witcher II needing quite a few settings turned down). I returned my 6950 under DSR and went with a 7950, yes it costs more and I still can't max out The Witcher II but it gives a much better experience. (NVIDIA's new offer might be an even better option? Haven't looked up the prices)

I've ordered 3 Achieva Shimian QH270 I asked for the 10bit model and have been promised as much so hopefully that's what I end up getting.

Uhm, what i meant by second, is that I ordered another one, so I have 2. Would that still struggle?

Going to get two Msi 7850 myself for crossfire when they come into stock somewhere.

Curious · 1 Apr 2012 at 15:35

How would i colour calibrate this screen by the way?

mad_weegie · 1 Apr 2012 at 15:48

Really sweet looking monitors, if ocuk supplied these

Anyone who works for OCUK read the forums, Buy these in I know it can be done with bulk of 100 or so, you would sell these easy over a weekend, I am first in line for one...

Can we make a poll on this who would want it in... Lets get OCUK to sell them in the UK..

HDMI doesn't support 2560x1440

hdmi 1.3 + certainly has the bandwidth, up to 2560x1600p60 or 4096x2160p24 (hdmi 1.4).

Some people have had success running at 2560x1440 over hdmi using custom edids.

I've had enough of waiting for OCUK to get these in so I've got on off the bay

panda_uk · 1 Apr 2012 at 20:33

ocuk please stock these, would easily buy one.

CaptainUnlikely · 1 Apr 2012 at 20:39

I've gone for a PCBANK one, looking through pictures and impressions from people on OCN and Hardforum that have bought these the stand on the PCBANK seems best for what I want it for. From reading the above mentioned forums, the "Perfect Pixel" seems to mean they do check for stuck pixels but it's not certain if they also check for dead pixels or not. I got mine for £225 from seller "bigclothcraft".

Added topic to ocuk suggestion page

Hopefully ocuk can supply the 1st overclockable and cheapest 27" IPS panel in uk ?

umboma · 1 Apr 2012 at 22:08

Is this the one that doesnt have DVI-D only HDMI? I brought from the same Seller but got the "Yamakasi Catleap Q270 SE 27" LED 2560x1440 WQHD S-IPS Monitor" for £268

Paid a few pound more to have Zero Dead Pixel, I hope that means they check it to make sure it's 100% good before shipping.

Quick Edit, I just had a look on the description and it does say "**Perfect Pixel (Zero Dead Picel)!!**" so would suggest they look for both dead and stuck.
