I have a 6850 and it runs the catleap fairly well. I don't know about fps but runs skyrim, shogun 2 and bf3 reasonably well at medium-high settings

Headshot · 15-06-2012 1:15pm

with this monitor what's the highest res could I play bf3 with a i5,8gb ram and 2 x 570s ?

Bacon and Cabbage · 15-06-2012 1:19pm

The full 2560*1440 comfortably IMO

it'll be good for 1440p on mostly ultra (no AA) I'd say, but if you're concerned, you can bring your rig to mine and do a quick test.

you know I think i may bring my rig to you for the craic tea

Maybe you can find out why it takes so long to enter a match for me

Clearance Delay is nothing to be worried about. everyone gets it. it is likely you'll pay customs though

Thanks for that, any idea how long it'll be in there? It's been like that since 9.35. I'd really like it to arrive today, but it's looking unlikely.

I'd probably do a reinstall at this point headshot

for me, I got that, and my monitor arrived the next morning. it was coming from Shannon to Limerick so maybe you'll get it today.

my friend though, not so lucky. he got a demand for the invoice and it spent days in customs going back and forth

:(

Eboggles · 15-06-2012 2:24pm

Oh well, thanks for that. Hopefully it'll arrive.

Currently on one 1080 and one 1280x1024 panel. Very tempted to replace the 1280 with a catleap, but I dont think the 5770H will run it without upping the clocks a little, and my case(dell) cooling doesnt really allow for a huge amount of that.

I could game on the 1080, but I dont know if that'd drive me nuts or not....hnnngh

God Father · 16-06-2012 11:49am

I'm still planning on getting one of these, still saving up the funds

Have to try get a summer job again now the College exams are finished :P

I see they have a white Catleap now

Think I am going to get that over the black.

link? I can't find any.

just a note for everyone:

what I have started to notice is many listings advertising 'free monitor testing' and 'perfect pixel' in the title, but if you read the fine print it says 5 dead pixels or less is satisfactory, and 'no serious back light bleeding' which are just checkes the factory is going to do anyway. avoid these guys, they're chancing their arm and dont deserve the sale. stick to the bigger players, like greensum, Samsung-Korea, bigcloth etc and send them a message if you're actually looking for perfect pixel and it'll cost around $30 extra.

Eboggles · 16-06-2012 1:41pm

I'd take it as this comes with the perfect pixel guarantee? It better, because it's cleared customs and I'll be using it very soon... :cool:

What's this that arrived at my door? Check the attachments.

Monotype · 18-06-2012 10:36am

Shiny! That's a lot of threads in the one screen.

Why does your start menu button look monochrome? Theme or just reflection?

Theme, it's black and white (uncle-sam-ie has the same I think).

Whats the packaging like on these?

Very sturdy, massive amount of bubblewrap

.

Should add, I got hit with €55 customs. This is with DHL and Bigclothcraft.

Nollog · 18-06-2012 11:05am

Seems too good, is the only drawback the possible customs charge which still doesn't make it bad value?

Tea_Bag · 18-06-2012 12:07pm

and possibly a nightmare to return under your "1 year warranty".

didn't stop me though and I couldn't be happier

Ryan451 · 18-06-2012 1:23pm

Just ordered a Catleap on ebay from Green-sum. Will I have to buy a socket adapter or is one provided?

just a kettle lead.

Nollog · 18-06-2012 1:44pm

Upon Research:
Only drawback is the single DVD-D input.
And no HDMI, which is actually a good thing for monitors unless you want to use it for a console at some point.

SE is without speakers.
Is it worth the 50 euro for a "pixel perfect" version?

Mine was €286 with perfect pixel, I'd recommend you get it. The stand is not the greatest but does the job. Bigclothcraft was a great seller, too.

Incompetent · 18-06-2012 3:22pm

Would a monitor of this resolution be worth it with a single 670? I'm getting the 670 to play with quality graphics for the next year or so, but will games start to come down into noticeably bad fps with a screen this size? Would I be better off with a 24" 1920x1050?

Get it, I'm running great off a single 6850. For example: 40+ fps in ARMA2 with no post process, or AA, but very high detail preset. No FXAA either. Maxing out Tribes: Ascend and Skyrim, again without AA. I'm using the ultra preset in Skyrim with FXAA enabled.

Bloodwing · 18-06-2012 6:14pm

Well I've been lurking here for long enough so it's time to bite the bullet and join the club.

First things first, will my EVGA GTX 580 (3072MB) be up to the task of doing these screens justice?

Secondly which seller offers the best value? I'm not just looking for the cheapest, I want a fairly solid stand, secure packaging and I'll probably go for perfect pixel. Is there any update on getting these screens to 120Hz? I'd be willing to swap PCBs if needed.

Thanks.

Bacon and Cabbage · 19-06-2012 4:08pm

Has anyone had any success in cleaning these screens? I have some kind of spray stuff that cleans my 2312hm but just leaves the catleap looking all smudgy :cool:
Possibly because it's a glossier surface?

Monotype · 19-06-2012 5:20pm

Try a different cloth? You really need a lint free one to get a nice result.

Headshot · 19-06-2012 10:57pm

Can someone link me to what wall bracket is used with this tv?

Thinking of getting one but I want to see what the full price will be
