Hi everyone.

I purchased one about a week ago and it arrived yesterday. Mine is a "2C" model.

Needless to say, I was stupid enough to try to oveclock it to 80 or 90Hz. Now, I get a bunch of blue vertical lines along with black ones and the monitor keeps flashing. Once the computer has fully booted, I can still make out some icons and the cursor but everything is severely blue. It did not start off like this, it began with a huge green tint and later morphed into this state. It was working fine before overclocking, with 0 dead pixels and just appeared outrageously beautiful.

I just went out and purchased another cable and it did not solve the problem.

After overclocking I either screwed up the pins on the graphics card or something terribly wrong happened to the monitor.

Do you have any advice for me?

The first thing I did was reset my output back to 60Hz. Can overclocking actually damage the PCB?

Please let me know I'm dying over here frown.gif.

Who has a time travel machine?!?!

Edit: It is an SE model with no speakers. Only Dual DVI.

It could sound obvious but did you turn off both your pc and you monitor by unplugging the power cord for about 1 minute?

Has anyone ever seen anybody set up three or more cat-leaps over 60 Hz in Eyefinity? Just curious how much of a problem it would be with the drivers to configure all of them to run at the higher refresh rate and then work together properly in Eyefinity at the higher Hz.

The reason I ask is because during setting up my triple FW900 surround with NVIDIA, it was a major PITA getting them all to work at a higher refresh rate than the EDID info would allow in Surround. I basically had to bug the driver out and work with Win 7 display settings directly and by-pass the NVIDIA control panel.

Without looking through 5 million posts, are there any pictures of the bezel removed and the thickness of the panel/back-light?

Just imagine a regular Catleap with a piece of glass glued to the bezel. That's all it is.

For all the tempered glass questions...

The best way I can describe the tempered glass version is that it's like a GIANT (black) iPad. Imagine a 27" iPad, and that's what it looks like. Except that it's a little shoddier in construction than an iPad.

FYI, it was my graphics card. I took the monitor to my cousin's house and tried it out there and it worked perfectly again.

My brother's computer turns out to just really suck. He has a GT 240 gfx card and I guess the required pins failed after attempting an overclock.
