Anybody tried the checkers gaming monitor ?

Specially packed for the Checkers Shoprite brands so I don't think the warranty will be an issue. Will likely follow the same warranty process as their other house/rite brand products.

Yes the box says 75Hz and I was omg I bought the wrong thing I need to go back.
Recommend changing the colour settings in nvidia control panel like so:

Gama: 1.20 (play around with it until you're happy with your crosshairs visibility)

Digital vibrance: 100

This should make it look good
 
What did you change the RBG to?

Red = 50
Green = 49
Blue = 45

I'm sure you can get better results by playing around with it for longer.

I just launched CS:GO and opened Cache :D tried to match the color I'm getting on my AOC, for all I know my AOC can be way off from the start and my colour adjustments are just bogus hahaha.

I have a RX580 but did play around in the Radeon settings and think I found a sweet spot
 
I just came back from Checkers Hyper Mayville (It s the closest one too Waverley). I saw they are closing at 15:00 so I left my house to be there at around 14:30 to have 30 min to shop and buy a screen.

I got to the door at 14:33 with a security guard telling me they closed 14:30... They are only letting people out that went in before 14:30 but no one in...

Hopefully, I would still be able to buy a screen tomorrow for the same price as I saw that the pamphlet said its until 7 June. but some people on the thread suggested today was the last day.
 
AFAIK 144Hz will work with HDMI because it's a 2.0 port but G-Sync only works if you use DP, so if you're AMD it will work anyway and if you're Nvidia and want G-Sync you need to use DP or it will be fixed refresh rate with HDMI at 144Hz.
 
Hi Bud

Can you post a pic of the back, where the stand attaches.

What stand was compatible?
Any stand with a 75 x 75 Vesa mount will work 100%

Or you can get any dell monitor stand and 3d print an adapter to work with VESA mount

Is the general consensus here that they are kind of decent? I've got 2 oldish Dell S2715H, and am looking for an excuse to move to 144Hz
 
So special ended today correct?

Wondering if I should pick up another 1 or so tomorrow if it's still available

Guys something strange just happened:eek:, I was fiddling around with my old Philips Smartcontrol software & low & behold my resolution went to 3840 x 2160 at 120hz:eek::oops: . See attached pics for proof, does this mean I have hit the screen lottery?:unsure:

Wow, I am honestly blown away by this monitor, dammit! (excuse my French)

After hearing all the good feedback here on the thread, I was like why not, nothing to lose anyway.

144Hz works perfectly, I am back to the smooth browsing baby! Sadly, I cannot really test any games on it - T540p laptop with a GT730m...

Running of a Display to Display Mini cable.

The panel type is quite interesting, I think it is a VA panel, the viewing angles is almost as good as my Dell IPS, it is crazy actually.

I am experiencing mouse pointer ghosting, not sure if it is my GPU that cannot keep up with the frames or what. Did not see anyone complain about it on the thread, so I am blaming my laptop on that one.

The black level isn't that great compared to my IPS panel but shouldn't be a problem for gaming (but might be my tweaking that affected it).

Did a few tweaks to try and match my Dell's colour:

Red: 55
Green: 45
Blue: 54

Brightness - 75
Contrast - 50
Black Level - 20

So yeah, for R2000 it is more than worth it, it is actually crazy, to be honest.

The pamphlet in the op says it is until the 7th of June, but I really hope I can still buy a monitor tomorrow!

You have to compete with the booze buyers. Checkers hyper has booze inside the normal stores . People probably sleeping in front of the store.

I doubt because the scaling is too large -- check with other sub 30" UHD users how abysmally small the text is on UHD (3840x2160) at small screen sizes

Most likely just an error
