Hi guys,

I know a few of you lucky folks have gotten yourself one of these monitors. I was looking at picking up a QNIX or something initially but have decided to spoil myself and pick the Dell up from Amazon. My only concern are a lot of reports of extreme white and yellow light bleed, plus many reports of cross-hatching.

How are you guys getting on with yours? Are any of you seeing these issues?

Mines is great, to be honest

No issues with cross-hatching, no issue with colours, One of the best investments I have even made ,, :-)

Nice! Did you order yours from Amazon?

dark_jedi_ire · 05-12-2013 01:22PM

Yup, ordered from Amazon, via Parcel Motel and then picked it up from the Parcel Motel office in Dublin

No problems with mine. Got it from Amazon.de. They had much better price than Amazon UK at the time.

I have the 24" (my desk is close to the screen), but it's perfect, got off amazon, no issues

Can you hook up a console (namely the ps4) to one of these?

Luck100 · 07-12-2013 01:06AM

The 2713HM has an hdmi so ps4 should be fine. As far as I know ps4 only does 1080p so the monitor will scale that to 1440p.

That's awesome, thanks for the info Luck! The monitor arrived but I won't be able to play around with it for about a week or so. Do you guys know if I will have any trouble playing games on high/ultra settings with a single Sapphire 7950 Vapor-x 3GB?

I was running most stuff at high/ultra settings with a single gtx 670 which would be roughly similar to your card. You'll have to dial it back a bit for the most demanding stuff (Crysis, Far Cry) but it's not like you'll be down to medium/low settings. Usually AA is a big performance hit so just turning that down will get you back to playable FPS.

The other option is to run the game at 1080p, but I find it looks better to keep native resolution and turn down the quality settings to maintain framerate.

Have the same card and a1440p qnix, I would say your gonna need to overclock the card a bit for 1440p, one card set at the boost bios speed wouldn really cut it unless you went with mostly med settings with little/no AA. With a half decent overclock you could be looking at mostly high with a few ultra settings and low to no AA. It still looks amazing at them kind of settings so I wouldn worry about it

I had mine at 1100/1500 and it performed quite well, bar in a few games like luck mentioned. In them games i just turned the setting down a bit further and they were grand. I am a stickler for a solid 60fps though, so depends on what sort of fps your lookin to get. Id rather dial back the settings to get 60fps.

Yeah, overclock will get you over the line in some cases. My gtx 670 is running around 1270 MHz with boost and overclock. I need it for BF4 since SLI is broken since last patch.
