post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
Are there any reputable 2560x1440 for under $500? Any that are IPS?

There are those Korean monitors that have threads here in the monitor section. I'm not sure if they are reputable, but it seems like more than a few members like them.

Catleap or Shimian! biggrin.gif

I think there is a third one, but I can't remember what it's called. Google would probably solve that doh.gif

Good luck thumb.gif

Check out the Auria model if you want something from a local distributor (Microcenter) with a 1 year warranty.

Would a 7850 overclocked be able run one of these at full resolution? I am planning to put my 680 up for sale soon and either getting a 660(depending on price) or 7850 because I need the money :/. I also have 2 other 1920x1080 monitors on each side.

7850 might be able to pull it off. With really stressful games you'll probably have to turn some settings down.

However, this being OCN, you said it's overclocked. Plus there's a high pixel density on these monitors, so even if you like higher AA, you won't need much of it (or any). The pixels are so close there's very little jaggies. biggrin.gif

Curious: why do you need the money? How much will you be selling the 680 for?

Im about to start college and this seems like the best place to start without too much sacrifice. College is expensive. Multiple screens is the only way I can get work done. Otherwise I'll browse, TV, or game instead of working. This way I can work and play at the same time smile.gif.
