I'm actually coming off a dell U2711 - which I never quite loved, but for the text/icon scale when on 1440p resolution. I found the monitor felt a bit washed out with IPS glow when it was at its best, certainly compared with say my fathers U2414 - which looks overall crisper. My screen developed...

Thats quite useful indeed thank you! So that confirms to avoid any larger resolution monitor. Would you say therefore also it's safe to get the up2716d? it should by what you say have marginally better colours and is cheaper (and also somewhat faster in response time apparently for the few...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to choose predominantly between two monitors: Dell UP2716D - with a wide gammut, will this actually make day to day computing look better? Or does it actually cause strange colour saturations in unexpected places? It's supposedly the more premium panel of the two but...

My hope is that it's something fixable, as I wasnt wanting to get another monitor at this stage, I'll try to boot up an alternative machine to try it, and report back - I could try to reconnect my old computer, but it would require the same graphics card from the new machine (or at least one of...

Hi all, I'm completely stumped, having built a new machine, and spending hours updating and all to get everything working perfectly - which it was for 2 days, until when briefly playing an old game from the secondary hard drive, the screen started flashing on and off, then went dead. The...

some small progress made tonight after hours of trying. Firstly I tried a DVI cable via the old spare gfx card lying about - result, I could run 1440p but with some distortion. I worked out by the monitors own OSD, that the monitor itself was running 1280x1440, despite the computer asking for...

Just tried and failed. I've done some research and think there is a chance it could be to do with EDID (though from there the fix seems quite complicated). I also picked up an ancient DVI cable from the office, and having no idea if the cable is good or bad, it works - however, I get a pretty...

Problem not yet solved, rather accidentally hit the solved button on phone email!

To update now since running further tests as you ask- the results confusing me yet further. After uninstalling all drivers and AMD software via uninstallers: - usual happened with both display ports "windows loading" screen then blank screen as desktop is meant to appear. - via HDMI it actually...

Hi, thanks hugely for the response - in answer to your questions: - Windows 7 sp1, 64bit - same OS on the old machine and new. -I've tried to downgrade the bios back to the next most recent, and that hasn't done anything (though admittedly at the moment its hard to do even this as its own...

Hi all, just wonder what you all think: I have a Gigabyte Radeon HD 7850 that always worked perfectly in my old machine, that two days ago, I took out from my old computer, to place into my fresh new build: i7 4790k w/ coolermaster 412s Asus Z97-AR 2x8Gb Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400 500 Gb Samsung...

thanks for the link, unfortunately there is nothing on there that helps... i'm still completely at a loss.

Hi all, So the story goes, I bought my dad a new dell U2415 to replace his smallish, old dell monitor - which we've never had any problems with. As the U2415 only has DP or HDMI, I connected it using HDMI (the graphics card doesn't have DP) but get the message, that "no HDMI detected" on start...

Right, AR it is then! Thanks hugely for clarifying all, keep up the impressive work!

Thanks very much for the tip MeteorsRaining, just one more question to pick your expertise - when it comes to the caps and VRM - are these something that generally benefit over-clockers only, or would they say 7-8 years down the line help to ensure a system that is still fast and stable? I know...
