Not sure if I can return anything as I opened it to remove the stand.

If Scribby manages to source the boards you'd be able to replace with those and get an upgrade to 100Hz to boot.

I'm wondering if some people are jamming the power connector in the wrong way and shorting them out (causing these smoke releases) - the circuit didn't look like it had much reverse polarity protection to me...

IIRC the flat part of the power connector goes against the monitor (not facing away from it) - I'm not at home though, can somebody else confirm?

You probably have about 60fps and this is a 60hz display (unless you've OC'd it) so you need to use vsync or find a way to run at a higher (or lower) framerate.

Fingers crossed on Scribby getting them to make the boards then.

there's a flat bit (away from the monitor) and a round indent bit (closer to the back of the monitor) for the connector to prevent people from jamming it in the wrong way.
My $300 facepalm moment was not being patient and trying to push it in with the adapter already powered. frown.gif

It would be cool if some maker came up with some type of modular screen. Put whatever PCB you want in depending on how much your willing to pay. Its a good way to customize the quality of components inside your screen instead of having to settle for sub part components that a lot of these probably use.

This would be nice, except that the different panels we're looking at actually come from LG with a different timing controller mounted to the back (it's not provided/designed by the monitor manufacturers, but by the panel company) - you need to replace a part that comes with/on the panel to upgrade or modify them to add something like high hz, so it's not useful. You *could* have different DVI boards for features like scalers, extra inputs, etc... but the Catleaps already have that in the different models for sale so.. wink.gif

I ordered a Pixel Prefect monitor with no issues and it was a 2B panel. Got it 2 days after it shipped. It was packaged in the retail box wrapped in brown paper. He's ebay records is very good, so he's a "trusted" source. Main reason I went with him was he offered a 30 day return at the time.

Yea I got mine from that seller too. The packaging is definitely not the best but mine came in without any damage. I posted some pics of it a few posts back if you want to see it.
