Yamakasi Catleap Monitor Club - Page 399

post #3981 of 9849

I have a question concerning the resolution in games. Can I still play at 1920x1080 with a sharp image? I don't mind if there's black borders as long as it's not blurry at all.

also, if I understand this right... "Pixel Perfect" is actually a lie because of their policies and whatnot, you can still get pixel defects? I know we're paying for A- monitors, but if they're selling something called Pixel Perfect then it shouldn't have any pixel issues and only perhaps have some bleed, that's it.

I suspect their use of "pixel perfect" is in relation to dead pixels - as in the monitors are checked for dead pixels before delivery - nothing more.

So the pixel perfect would only work on that dead pixel that was shown on my picture? That black dot is t he only thing that'd be gone form my monitor? bright dots, stuck pixels, and etc won't be checked up as well with pixel perfect?

I asked greensum prior to purchase and he told me he checks for dead/bright pixels as well as major backlight fade. Minor backlight issues won't be checked.

My guess, not owning this moniter, is both Yes.. and no!

as long as you use your GPU scaler, it should be reasonably sharp, not AS sharp as a proper 1080p moniter, but pretty close.

You have to remember, by this point thoes pixles are getting pretty tiny, and as such shouldnt have too much of a problem!

Me! Actually when I first got my monitor I decided to test out some BF3, so I did. My first impression I thought it looked pretty good. Then I went to the settings only to see that was 1080p, then flipped it to 1440p and my mind was blown tongue.gif

Also just had my first scare, turned on my rig and my monitor only for it to display a bunch of wacky lines. I turned the monitor off then on then they were gone. Phew wackosmiley.gif

Is there any guide to opening the monitor? Need to fix hum as well.
