I want to get a new monitor and currently I'm looking at one that has a refresh rate of 48-144hz with freesync. I've read that LFC allows freesync to continue working below the lowest refresh rate of your monitor as long as it's 2.5x less than the maximum refresh rate. For those who have...

If someone has this can they please post a pic of the IPS glow of this monitor, if you have any.

Best buy is probably your best options. You get free shipping and you can return to the store within 14 days if you're unsatisfied for ANY reason.

Regardless, the amount of glow in certain corners varies as seen by pictures taken looking forward at the monitor. A lot of people have their bottom right corner glow a lot more than the other corners while other people have other corners glowing more. Corner glow is relatively random in its...

Looks very interesting. Hopefully it doesn't have super bright IPS glow like the u2412m.

Correct, I should have just said there is a high chance of very noticeable IPS glow. There are some u2412m's on this thread that have relatively low levels of glow overall, but they're exceedingly rare it seems.

If you bought it from best buy online, you can return it in any best buy store. I did the exact thing with my u2412m. However, if you bought it on best buy marketplace, you have to contact the seller of the monitor. Personally, I'd wait for better less problematic models to come out. There...

Just return it to best buy, they have no restocking fee and you have 14 days to do it. Or exchange it there, but I don't recommend exchanging it because it seems like most u2412's sold today have issues with IPS glow in the corners.

Hopefully you get lucky with your u2412m. A lot of them have horrid IPS glow in the corners.

Will that let me raise my volume higher than windows allows me to? Also, is there a possibility that it will introduce hissing to my sound?

When I plug my headphones into the audio port on my motherboard, I get no hissing or anything, so I guess I'm going to use that unless the crackling occurs after hours of use... I'll let you guys know what happens. So it definitely was my old speakers causing the hissing problem.

I'm only going to be using headphones. If I get a sound card I'll probably upgrade to a 5.1 or 7.1 headset. Will I still get hissing if I don't use an optical output and just use the regular colored audio inputs?

Ok, I tried my mom's higher quality bose speakers using the same audio jack and there's no hissing at all with my cheap earbuds and still noticeable hissing with my high quality earbuds.

My temperatures are fine and my drivers are up to date. I posted my specs above and will try DPC latency once the crackling returns. As mentioned before, crackling only occurs after several hours of computer use.

For the hiss, - It goes up when I turn my speakers up only. - Stays the same no matter what I'm running on my PC - Stays the same regardless of windows audio volume. - Sounds the same through speakers and with using earbuds. Also, my higher quality earbuds magnify the hiss. For the...

My computer has fairly audible hissing noise I can hear when there's no sound or a quiet sound playing. Another issue with my sound is that I hear crackles and pops in my audio when I leave my computer on for a few hours. This only goes away when I reset it and sleep mode seems to only make the...

If you can live with corner glow, then yes. Its very likely that you'll get one with it.

I guess you're right, the BenQ screens that I'm looking at now do seem pretty nice overall. I'm looking at the GW2750HM currently. Do you think the screen will look to pixelated with 1920 x 1080 on a 27" display if I sit like 2 feet away? Also, how is ghosting on the display? In addition...

Thank you for the suggestion but I'm already using a 1080p monitor :( Just looking for an upgrade to 16:10. I feel pretty hopeless about all of this to be honest.

I looked up reviews for the monitor on amazon.de and there's a few complaints about the stand being shakey and the power button actually making the screen glow. This is enough to completely scare me away from buying it. Now I really don't know what to get.

Yes I have and even though IPS has nicer colors, it doesn't make up for the fact that it has corner glow if you sit 2 feet from it (which is how far I usually sit from my monitor). The glow is way too distracting for me.

Yes, I've had corner glow in my U2412m that was very obvious in dark games and movies. I absolutely hate that and would prefer a more even black than better colors. Every single IPS I've looked up that is 400$ or cheaper, there's always someone complaining about corner glow. Sure I could...

The Samsung looks very appealing. I can also order it from bestbuy w/ free shipping and return it if I don't like it. I'm probably going to go with that. Anyone else have an opinion on the S24A450BW before I choose to get it?

I had pretty bad IPS glow before on my u2412m. In any dark games or when watching a movie it looked like there was a reflection on the bottom of the screen constantly, but it was just glow. I know some people say that they don't have it but many people do, and I don't have the option of buying...

I understand that but there are so many complaints about the 350-400$ HP, Dell and Asus IPS panels in regards to IPS glow that I rather not get one.

I'm looking for a good quality 1920x1200 monitor but definitely do not want to get an IPS. I purchased a u2412m and it had bad glow in the bottom right corner so I returned it. I know TN monitors aren't so great for color but do I have any other options? If I have to I'll get one but I don't...

Ok, I think I might return it, and not get another IPS. I know everyone here says TN's are outdated but I think I may get one, never really noticed a big problem with them before. How do you think this is guys?

Just got my u2412m and overall I like it but I notice the bottom right corner looks like it has IPS glow. I definitely notice it in dark games. It looks like a reflection almost when I have the lights on and just glow when my lights are off. I really don't know if I should return it or not. The...

My max temp on my hottest core was 54C after running Prime 95 for about 4 hours. I should have added that detail in my original post.

I'm using RealTemp. Thanks for your responses so far guys :)

I just bought a Core i5 3570k and at idle, my highest temp is 23C, with other core being as low as 15C. The problem is that my room is only 21C, so I don't see how some cores can be cooler than my room. Also, at max load, not overclocked, the max temp for my hottest core is 54C. Does this...

I decided to go with the card I linked in my original post, thanks for all your advice guys :) Also Havoc888, I'm kinda of wondering the same thing, even though I guess it doesn't matter as much though to me since I already bought the card. I just have one more other quick question...

I play games with or without vsync, mostly without half of the time due to microstutter in certain games. I know tearing can be removed by enabling vsync, but sometimes vsync is a worse option with my 4870. I've even noticed some games after being updated, like TF2, stuttered when before they...

I'm currently upgrading my system and am looking to buy a new graphics card. In the past, my 4870 has given me a lot of issues in about half of my games in terms of microstuttering and horrible screen tearing. As of now, I'm leaning towards the 7950, specifically this one...
