Anyone know if they're going to start doing official 120hz versions of these?

I believe if you look through the OCN thread, you'll find your answer there. Last I heard is that someone had contacted the manufacturer and was working with them to give info to come up with some sort of special edition that would have 120hz.
 
'Official' would require components to be capable of running at that refresh rate with a good end result. It would be up to the panel manufacturer LG to get the ball rolling but I don't see it happening in the foreseeable future. In the meantime I recommend you read this post, the post linked to and any links within that.
 
My Shimian has arrived....

1st problem, its the wrong model, I ordered the glass fronted one.

2nd problem I noticed when taking it out the box I can a hear a something loose shaking around inside, quite big, screw maybe.

3rd when I turn it on I get no picture just a blob of broken pixels in the middle of the screen.

I know I was taking a risk, but bloody hell this is taking the complete ****, so shoddy!!
 
That's not good, sounds like the courier may have chucked it about.. Who did you buy from ? I'm kind of regretting buying from cloth people as they seem to just wrap things in brown paper. Other sellers use a box with bubblewrap...

Did you pay with a credit card via paypal as you should be able to claim back any costs involved in getting a refund or replacement from them..
 
Raise a dispute with paypal. Photo everything inc the packaging, box, serials etc. I always take a few shots of the unopened package when they arrive.
Paypal will tell you to send it back, If you paid using a credit card not debit you can claim any costs involved in obtaining a replacement or refund back. It's a pain and takes ages but at least you get it back.

Edit - Seems this might not be right for all cards, I have made a couple of claims with Barclaycard for exactly what you have and have been refunded but it seems every card issuer is different...

Extra protection - Section 75
If you use your credit card to purchase something (for more than £100 and under £30,000) then the card issuer becomes equally responsible under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act. If the goods are faulty, or if the company goes bust before they deliver the item then you can contract your credit card issuer to claim back the money.

Beware - this rule does not always apply. Credit card issuers are not responsible for faulty goods purchased with a credit card overseas, including purchases made on overseas websites.

If your account was in the black, then you may be able to recoup the cost of the flight through the 'chargeback' system operated by Visa and Maestro even if you bought it on your debit card - as long as you have proof of purchase.

It depends on whether your individual bank has signed up to the procedure so you may have to do some research

Ta, done all that already, it was actually bought with a Barclaycard via paypal.

I'm just debating if I should order another from a different seller soon as this will take an age to get refunded.

I would file a dispute with PayPal/eBay and see how that goes first you might end up out of pocket twice. Barclaycard say they don't cover overseas transactions but I have been refunded so might just be a good will thing as I used to use them a lot..?
 
Don't think they do mate, doesn't HDCP require HDMI inputs?

Really happy with my screen barring one thing - No BIOS :'(
Tried everything so not sure whats going on - tried enabling GPU scaling on the graphics card, and also tried using the Z68 onboard graphics to no avail.

Wierd really as I've read about other people with 7970's getting on fine with BIOS..... Any suggestions anyone?

Oh and the other 'dilemna' - wallpapers for 2560x1440! lol :)
 
As long as you use Windows not a problem, just use Passkey lite. Not sure if there are any Linux/Mac alternatives.

Other devices than a PC you wouldn't be able to hook up in the first place. It's the same thing with the Hazro HZ27WC btw, the HZ27WD does support it so perhaps the multi input variants of these monitors are certified? Best way to find out would be to contact the seller.

It doesn't, can be done over displayport/DVI as well.

Keep using your old monitor for the BIOS, dual monitor setups are always nice. But no, this seems to be the same as with the Hazro's.. very random and most likely AMDs fault.

Don't have the space for a dual-monitor setup unfortunately :( :(
Grrrr AMD - Think I'll sell my 7970 now..... lol
 
I've reported this before but I did have the missing bios issue on both my Hazro's initially. But after swapping to the old monitor/installing updates it just resolved itself. No idea why. That was with 5830. Not tried my 7970 yet but I suspect it is nothing to do with AMD drivers and more to do with Windows....

It can't be windows as when in the bios neither windows or any drivers have been loaded ?

Zoomee have you tried using one of the adapters with the 7970 either HDMi or DP to DVI and see if the bios shows.... ?

Great minds think alike an all that lol ;)
Just been trying em all out mate, to no avail I'm afraid :(

I honestly think this is a motherboard BIOS issue, because when I was doing some googling last night for "QH270 BIOS" - i found an MSI bios which added BIOS support for these monitors!.

I'm due a full rebuild now anyway, so will give that a try first - but like you say it can't be windows as no drivers are pre-loaded when booting...... Shame the Z68 chipset doesn't work with it otherwise I could have just plugged that it as and when required (I tried using the HDMI and Mini-DP to DVI adapters with that too).
