Because i bet if he would have went with a 144hz monitor.. he probably wouldn't have to return these 60hz ones

:rofl: :rofl: but im just a frugal "clueless pos" right? right?? :rofl:


I won't be purchasing a monitor for 144hz. I would be willing to pay up to a 20% price increase for 144hz, but not at a trade-off of other features (IPS, LED, resolution, etc). The monitors are more than sufficient at 60hz. My graphics card does between 39 and 90 fps on Overwatch at 2560x1440 (with settings mostly at high/ultra), and usually hovers around 55fps. Hearthstone is the only other game I play at the moment.

I'm not that great at aiming in the first place, so 60hz has been fine. I don't game too much, and Overwatch has been nice at 60fps. I understand there would be some benefit, but the money is more valuable to me.

I am considering a few options:
• Option 1: Exchange monitor #2 for a replacement, but stick with the setup
• Option 2: Exchange monitor #1 & #2 for replacements, but stick with the setup
• Option 3: Return both monitors & wait on something else
• Option 4: Return monitor #2, and keep monitor #1 as a single-monitor setup for leisure use... and wait on a double or triple 25" monitor setup for work purposes

I am finding 31.5" is a bit distractingly large for work. Another option is to use one 31.5" screen, and two identical 25" screens; that option seems interesting to me, because I do find I use one "main" screen whenever I work, and every other screen is supplementary.

Problem is I'll be working on monitor #2, an Excel file. Then I need to read a PDF on monitor #1, which is on the very left of that monitor. The white of the PDF has a gradient that gets darker, and I have to move myself so that the backlight appears even. Then I look back to the Excel file, and I have to again readjust myself so the backlight appears even on that screen. Not good.

Yeah, those are valid reasons since your card can't even get that high anyway. Don't worry / ignore me, I'm just giving them shit cause they are very ignorant on the 144 to 60 differentiation. ;)

This screen setup looks amazing though. When the screens are off. The bezels, the aesthetics, they look so good. I'll post a picture sometime.

But... performance is king. I can't believe an IPS LED monitor setup has viewing angle problems. Yes, I'm sitting close to two 31.5" monitors, but that shouldn't be an issue with the purported specs (250 nits, LED, IPS, 2560x1440).

If there wasn't a dead pixel on monitor #1, I'd almost be dead set on just replacing monitor #2. But a single dead pixel pisses me off. I can live with it if it's in the top 8% of the screen where menu bars go.... but it's sitting about 0.3 inches from the left of the screen, and 2.9 inches from the bottom. Always visible when I have any document open.

Oh yeah, dead pixels are annoying AF. unacceptable from the manufacturer. sorry u have to go through the return process. I've been relatively lucky buying monitors so my time will come soon prob

I'm fine with some dead pixels, but they have to be in good spots that I never see them. :(((((

It's funny, you'd think for gaming, videos, that it'd be most annoying. I might've never noticed if I wasn't working on this thing.

It's all just with work. Staring at a word document and constantly looking at the little pixel. The little bastard. I keep trying to flick it, massage it, nope, won't turn on (worked on my last monitor).

Packing these fuckers up tomorrow & taking them in for an exchange or full return. Depends on what the BB manager says. I'll be telling them I want to try a second pair.

Packed the monitors up and switched back to my Benq 27" TN panel (5 years old or so). Decided for leisure I'll look in the 28-32" range, and for work I'll stay in the 24.5 - 27" range. Found 31.5" to be too big for work.

Confirmed:

My older TN panel has better viewing angles by a significant margin, when testing from all angles & distances.

I doubt the panels I'm returning are actually LED or IPS. Refresh rate seemed lower too. Colors were better than my old monitor though.
