Could it perhaps be the PSU? I wonder if it's not delivering enough current to be completely powered.

Good news, everyone!

Assuming the settings from Nvidia control panel are actually applying, I've gotten my Achieva to 95Hz. Tried 99 and now its just a black screen. Any idea how to bring it back to default? Im typing on a second monitor ATM, which would not exceed 60Hz at all.. so I believe it is truly capable of 95Hz+

You mean the monitor's PSU/converter? I thought about that, but where the heck would I get another one of these! lol it converts it to 24v DC, which is just weird.

Wow - completely floored. I had a very nice 24" and this thing just decimates it.

Ordered Thursday from dcsamsungmall, was in my town Saturday and arrived Monday. Catleap Q270. This monitor is glorious. I used the included, rather cheap feeling DVI cable and it works just fine. I saw the blinking red light as well but after a few moments it flipped green.

Mine was packaged in about 2" of bubble wrap which took forever to open.

Only one place to go from unboxing - BF3:

Incidentally it does say 'This display supports HDCP'

Was that before you turned on your PC that it turned green? Or, it turned green once you powered up your PC?

If you shut your PC down, does it start blinking red again?

Video card is a GTX 260.

The monitor light shows solid red when off.

When I created a custom resolution > 66 hz I got a static pattern of colored bands on the display and the light stayed green.

OK thanks.

Well, I did hook up another monitor to the supplied DVI cable just to rule it out and it works fine.


I have a friend thats fairly close that ordered a catleap. Once he confirms his works, I'm going to ship him my power supply/DC converter to rule that out as well.

anyone have experience with dealing with customs biggrin.gif. I'm cool with paying for it now that I'm busted but I don't want to have to wait over a week for it!
Damn UK customs.

If they won't find an invoice in the package they'll try to contact the seller or the buyer for one.

Update on the Achieva. Got it running again.. Nvidia control panel is funky.

The back seems to be VERY hot, so im turning it down to 60Hz again.
