Maybe it's too early in the morning for me, but I'm a little confused about what we actually found here.. Looks like the highest overclock was achieved using default voltage and the maximum power limit, with a 3% frequency increase.. Under the condition of using a somewhat absurd cooling...

You're probably right. I doubt either of my current screens have much to gain subjectively. It would have been really interesting to try calibrating the CF791 before I returned it, but I'm going to try not to think about that...

First, I'd go to www.testufo.com and run through the test there. Especially the frame dropping test. You might be able to hit a certain refresh rate, but it might also drop frames and cause other problems. If you are dropping frames, then dial down the refresh rate until it works correctly...

Well, here's one suggestion. Look into getting a decent primary screen. Then pick out a reasonably priced 2560x1440, like one of the Korean brands' offerings. Get three of those and a 3 screen VESA mount and then run them all in partait mode so they fit side by side by side. You can use settings...

I've been spending enough on monitors lately, I feel like it would be a worth while investment to get a good calibration tool to ensure that I'm getting the most out of them. I am not a content creator. I do prefer things to be accurate and not have to wonder if I'm seeing what I'm supposed to...

Not sure anyone is actually following this. If you are, sorry I dropped off so long. Real life and all that. Right off the bat, I've returned the CF791 and kept the XR341CK. It was a brutal decision. I don't regret my choice exactly, but I'm disappointed because the CF791 came so close to...

Another quick update. I called around from work yesterday morning. Newegg didn't have another new XR341CK to send me. They did have an open box model for less, which is cool. I talked them into sending me that one, giving me the fastest shipping for free and putting a note on my file that at...

So, good news and bad news. I got my XR341CK today. I can report that it looks impressive sitting on my desk. I was wearing of the two tone lower bezel, but in low light it basically just looks black. What else? Oh! I like the handle on the stand, but the balance is very forward, so I wind up...

Check the outputs on any card in question. You should be able to use a combination of display port, hdmi, DVI and even outputs on your on-board graphics depending on the cpu and motherboard. It's not as if a 1060 will have enough power to drive all those screens in a game, but desktop apps...

The larger size and refresh rate will both make for a better experience. Especially if the 24" happens to be IPS. The only reason I would consider the cheaper one, is if you'd rather save up for something more like a 1440p 27" later. With freesync, I think that a 480 would be enough for that...

Let's get my system specs out of the way first: i5 4690k @ 4.5, 16gb DDR3 2400, Sapphire Fury Nitro @ 1130/520. SSDs for system and game drives. It's been a long wait. I've been interested in 21:9 for a while. When I learned of the CF791's inception and proposed specs, I knew I'd have to hold...

The default freesync range on the MG279Q is 35-90hz. AMD enabled LFC at the driver level some time ago, so long as the max is at least 2x the minimum, then the minimum is effectively 0. My 290X was strong enough to get good frame rates at 1440p. I got the regular Fury for about the same price as...

I've had an MG279Q since it was introduced over a year ago. I'm very happy with it. It does have a bit of glow, but it's not the end of the world by any means. The contrast is good and the color is spot on. Going from 60 to 144hz will be a very big upgrade all by itself. I've been using mine...

It depends where your priorities lie. I could never stand using TN myself because the color shifting drives me nuts. I've been using an MG279Q for over a year, which is the freesync equivalent to what you're looking at, I think and it's great. But also just recently picked up a Samsung CF791...

I got my MG279Q shortly after it was released and it's been really good the whole time. It does have a fair amount of IPS glow, but not enough to really turn into a problem when there's an image on screen. It's worse viewing off center and limits the viewing angles somewhat, but again, not a...
