    All well with CaseLabs?

    I bought one of the very first cases from CL, so you could say that I've been with them for awhile. At the end of July 2016, while they were still taking orders for the Mercury S8, I place an order. The order was supposed to be delivered by the end of Sept. 2016 per communications with CL. CL...

    Fan ramp up & loss of display signal? (GTX 1080 FE 2-way SLI)

    I'm not getting anywhere on the official NVIDIA forums and thought that I'd try here. I spoke with EVGA last week and their first suggestion was to disable SLI in the NVIDIA Control Panel and then report back. Currently testing that out...

    Seiki Pro SM40UNP 40"/ SM32UNP 30"4K LED Monitors

    I bought one from Amazon. It didn't even turn on. Second one worked but overall I wasn't happy with the viewing angles - colors anywhere but the center were washed out. Went back to my LG 34UC97.

    I just ordered one from Amazon. Will see how it compares against my LG 34UC97.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X Video Card PREVIEW @ [H]

    Out with the old... in with the new! Before someone asks, the "desk" in the second picture is a lab bench in my home office where I work on projects. :D

    SLI & Nvidia Surround - monitor for each card?

    Interesting - thanks for posting this. I wonder what the difference is between the first option and the second in terms of how the GPUs work together.

    SLI & Nvidia Surround - monitor for each card?

    Gotcha. But I'm concerned about those with GTX 980s that only has 1 DP per card (e.g., EVGA GTX 980 Classified, etc.). If you tri-SLI those type of cards you're screwed and that's ridiculous. From what I understand this was suppose to be addressed by Nvidia where you could use the DP port for...

    SLI & Nvidia Surround - monitor for each card?

    Ah, that was it - that GSYNC was the issue. Thanks. This is what I'm hoping gets fixed: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?49976-GSync-Multiple-PGs-in-Surround-Tri-SLI http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?50016-Confusion-over-Swift-PG278Q-display-port-1-2...

    SLI & Nvidia Surround - monitor for each card?

    A few months ago I read/watch a PCPER article/video which touched on Nividia Tri-SLI and using three displays - it might have been 3 Asus ROG Swifts. At the time Nvidia would not allow SLI to be enabled if you needed to use the DP on each of your 3 video cards. You'd have to only use the ports...

    [CES2015] ASUS MG279Q 2560 x 1440 Gamer 120Hz IPS 5ms GTG

    Personally I don't care about ULMB. But viewing angles and color mean enough to me to dump the Swift and fall back to my Dell UP3214Q for now. I'll be all over an IPS GSYNC display. I like the Swift for gaming but I I have to run Monitor Calibration Wizard to force a color profile for the...

    [CES2015] ASUS MG279Q 2560 x 1440 Gamer 120Hz IPS 5ms GTG

    Way to kill my PG278Q. eBay is a calling me! :D Guess the old UP3214Q will have to come out of storage to hold me over.

    For games I use ReShade and SweetFX.

    Check out Monitor Calibration Wizard. It makes using the desktop etc. bearable. If I didn't have that I would have probably return my Asus already.

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Maybe it's because the Acer XB270HU was announced. ;) If that thing actually delivers I might actually be able to do what I had hoped to do with the PG278Q - portrait surround with three displays.

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    This is how I felt with my Dell UP3214Q next to my Swift. How do you have these both configuration on your desk for daily use? I was going to try and get some sort of big ass arm for the Swift so that I could swing it down and over the Dell but decided against that.

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    You did exactly what I had originally planned to do. However, everyone warned me that going portrait with TN was a mistake. Color shift isn't great even when the thing is in landscape - this doesn't bother you when it's vertical? How do you find the experience overall? Is this why you're...

    Thanks. When you say "You can set ULMB mode for desktop" I assume you meant set the Swift to ULMB mode via settings on the Swift?

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    So "NVIDIA Control Panel" -> "Manage 3D settings" -> "Global Settings" -> "Preferred refresh rate" can be used to set the Swift to 144 Hz for games and the desktop. But is there a way to set the Swift to 120Hz after exiting a game where you were playing at 144Hz - without using the monitor...

    Micro Center calls me 14 hours after I order it to confirm my address - evidently this is something that they regularly do. I'm sure that they justify this practice as a means of protecting the consumer but what they're really doing is protecting themselves. They also won't send your order to...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    I really glad to see more people trying this as it's exactly what I'd like to do with 3 Swifts. What's your experience with them all in portrait - any viewing angle issues? Also what GPU configuration are you using? I'm currently running Tri-SLI GTX 780 Ti Classified and even with that I don't...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Nice, but keep in mind that the driver used in the PCPER review (Nvidia Surround w/ GSYNC & SLI) hasn't been released yet. I've been thinking of also picking up 3 Swifts but I'd like to set them all up in portrait mode. If you're board feel free to try it out and report back. A lot of people are...

    No problem. ;) If Amazon ever gets enough in stock and Nvida releases the updated driver in the PCPER video I might just pick up 3 and try it myself.

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    The opinion on this is beginning to seem unanimous - what a bummer. What are you running now Vega? I shelved my Dell 4K UP3214Q 4K (literally it's sitting covered on a shelf under my lab bench) and went back to my tried and true HP ZR30W. BTW, what arm system do you use to drop another monitor...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    For those that have a Swift and are willing to test it in portrait mode I'd be very happy to hear what you all think. I had my heart set on running 3 in portrait mode for gaming but I'm reading that even with the "superior" TN panel of the Swift that it's probably not a good idea due to viewing...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Can someone who actually has this display in their possession please reply or PM with the width, height and depth of the the panel portion? Completely disregard the stand. I'm curious how much room three of these in portrait mode, placed side to side, will take up. :D Thanks.

    UP3214Q - it has arrived!

    Happy, see my reply above. It's card to say who really is to blame for the MST issues. If the issue is one that Nvidia can fix and actually does then I think that changes things. However, if you like to run games at max settings you're going to need something better than Tri GTX 780 Ti...

    UP3214Q - it has arrived!

    I can't really say. I would be using the monitor right now, instead of staring at it in a box, if MST mode wasn't such a buggy POS. The problem is between the OS, GPU, GPU firmware, DP cable and Dell firmware who the heck knows who really is to blame for the MST issues. If anyone is going to buy...

    UP3214Q - it has arrived!

    Happy asked me to post an update so here goes. Unfortunately Dell doesn't offer a zero dead pixel guarantee - check the fine print. You'd think they would considering the cost of the display and it being their flagship but considering the level of defects with the panels I can see why they...

    UP3214Q - it has arrived!

    Thanks. It was a pain but what really bothered me is that I wanted one to actually work out (e.g., no noticeable pixel defects). The damn thing is beautiful to stare out. We'll see how this one turns out.

    UP3214Q - it has arrived!

    As some may know I went through three new Dell 4K (UP3214Q) displays. The number of pixel defects just didn’t sit well with me considering the cost of the display. I also had a stand issue with one of the three displays. Eventually I had a full refund issued. This week a Dell VP contacted...

    [AnandTech] Nvidia G-Sync Review

    Because people love to complain about what they don't have and/or can't get for one reason or another. The same thing happened when 4K PC displays started to sell. I just returned my third 4K Dell display and my next venture into display land will be multiple G-Sync displays in portrait.

    UP3214Q - it has arrived!

    I recommend staying away from this display or any other 4K display - at least for now. I went through 3 displays before I said screw it. http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/t/19535104.aspx However, I will say that physically speaking the UP3214Q is quite nice and...
