My CrossOver arrived today... Deffo worth the extra for the better stand, loads of adjustablity on it. Not a single dead pixel. Quality is class. I can't tell the difference between it and my 27" iMac... Bargin!!!

Oh, I didn't have to pay any customs charges on it.. sweet!

Who'd you buy off? I am so close to hitting the order button on one of those Crossovers.

So they've released my monitor from customs. No response to my email, so I imagine I'm now going to be expected to have an unpredictable amount of cash for the postman when he shows up tomorrow morning?

Tar.Aldarion

Pretty much yes. Or they take it back and then tell you. :S

You can call their careline with your tracking number and they can tell you about your package.

yuk!

To all the lucky owners (green w/envy here ), how wide is the bezel on these monitors? Do they look easy to strip down?

Thanks.


Thinking three of these in eyefinity

you would need one mean bastard of pc to run 3x1440p monitors...

New PSU, MB, CPU & 3rd GPU....so yeah I'd be upgrading..:D

Brian

Well I got mine this morning. €70 customs which isn't too bad. It's a 2C from what I can tell.

Now it won't work with my PC! Connected to the DVI-D of my 6850, flashing green light on the monitor and no picture. Gah.

Whew, got it to work. A combination of switching ports and using Windows monitor settings instead of catalyst.

Looks amazing.

dan_ep82

Happy days !
If you's could get some pictures to edit to the first post it'd be great.
Also if you could post up your fps in whichever game's you play with your gpu etc

stevenf17

Good to hear Brian!

After the feck up yesterday mine arrived this morning too
Have to wait until i get home from work at half 5 to see it though, can't wait to see how it compares to my current IPS monitor too.

Brian

Small let down ... I can't watch Youtube at 480P on this screen :P

Serephucus

240p instead?

Nforce

Thinking of getting one of these to supplement my Dell 3008wfp. May go for the Crossover version. Which ebay sellers are people using?

I'm very interested in your comparison between this and your other IPS. what monitor is your old one?


happy days Brian. she's stunning isn't she?


I'll try get my PC back together today. I've been procrastinating on it cause I'm so annoyed about its bsods that i want to throw it out the window. I'll take some pics if ye like but it'll be with my phone. I'll update them in May when i get DSLR back.

any particular games you're interested in seeing benchmarks?
I can say in BF3 in real world scenarios online 64 player maps i play everything ultra but 2xAA and i get a solid 85fps that drop to 65 under intense action. haven't played metro map on it though, cause i don't like it, but i imagine its one of the few where ill actually take a hit on fps.

F1 2011 all ultra presets the benchmark says average fps is 74 with a min of 62:-)

rig in my sig. my GPU is a HD6990 OC to 880/1250.

Got a Dell 2007WFP (20.1") at the moment, nearly 5 years old at this stage so it'll be interesting to see how they compare.
I'll know later on tonight!

One thing I don't think I've fully taken into consideration with the new one is the size increase.... but sure "Go Big or Go Home"

Brian

QL 125 fps solid with r_picmip 10 and native res on 6850 + 955BE stock frequencies.

Hmm of you get stung by import duties, then it is not such an bargain. 400eu ish. Then again you can buy dell ips 27inch for 550eu now.

And the dell has a nicer stand and warranty. It would be worth it if you could guarantee not to get charged by customs...
