Stumbled on your minecraft vids through the YT suggestion bar, saw your channel, and this vid. Apparently this is the guy that was messing around with his 30"ers a while back on the forums. Of course, so many posts both on H and OCN about the topic, couldn't forget. Small world, huh?

@DejZant Yep, that's me. I try to go on those forums and tell people all my experiences with both monitors.

Funny how I'm seeing people from all over connecting through YT and those forums.

what is the dimension ??? reply plss

Where is that great HP screen gloss? : (

@SirCrest I'm late to replying but yes, I would like to have multiple monitors, but having all these pixels on one panel is just amazing. Games at 1600 look out of this world. I want to go PLP right now though.

If HP releases LED version I might sell this one and get 3 of the LED ones.

@GR3B3N Gaming is a priority very much so, but I'm very much into photography and video editing, the single resolution and color accuracy is more important.

Metro runs fine as long as I'm on AAA and not 4xMSAA.

Also I did RMA and I got a new monitor the following morning and it's working just fine.

[GR3B3N]

@SirCrest Uhm.. metro lol? Have you ever tried playing on 120hz? Try, it might change your mind. But again, if gaming is not a priority, then good choice. Enjoy. BTW, did you RMA it or decided to deal with that pixel?

[SirCrest]

@GR3B3N The only game that has yet to hit 60fps comletely maxed out was crysis 1 at 45fps-ish and Crysis 2 at 55fps in one area. My new overclocked 580's have been very good at powering games at native on max at 60fps. At this resolution AA isn't nearly as important so 2xAA with FXAA does a really good job.

I didn't go with 120hz because I wanted the better quality panel and color and cared more about resolution. I've been happy with 60hz for a long time.

[GR3B3N]

Why you didn't get 120hz monitor? Or gaming is not the primary application you intend to use it?

Also, 2 gtx580 won't be enoff to render 60fps in some games @ native res, so you'll have to compromise...
