So it appears the barrier between 1920x1080< being the only monitor(s) that are able to draw frames at 120+hz. Is it too good to be true?! I mean sure it will only be on what appears DP 1.2/DVI-I.

I know it's old-ish news but this is pretty good!

Cool!

Yes it is, and many of us are looking forward to this monitor. I also have heard it may end up being 144hz. With an Nvidia card, you also gain G-sync, though only with displayport.

Dead excited now I might grab one of these!

It's still a TN panel and is almost double the cost of QHD Korean PLS panels that are capable of 100Hz+. I'd rather have the money and the better colours of a QNIX or X-Star than G-sync and the asus brand.

"PC Perspective

Another G-Sync panel has been announced at CES. This one is not a standard 1080p panel, which is promising, rather a bump in resolution to WQHD 2560x1440 while still reaching "120+ Hz". It is still based on TN pixels but the resolution is different so at least that is progress."

A quote from one of the posters. Still gona cost but it will be worth it if you have the cash.

Just an FYI, that monitor overclocking does not work well with every monitor. I tried it on my Auria and it maxed out at 75 Hz and felt really jittery. I had to go back to 60.

But it's not even out yet, I am fairly sure. :lol:

Almost every owner of a the QNIX QX2710 who has tried to overclock has gotten more than 96Hz (people like this number as it is a multiple of 24Hz). It's no guarantee but it is sooo much cheaper and 1440p at 110Hz looks so good (even if I have to run games at medium settings to get there on a 680) on an PLS panel.

I agree, but the thing is this is a completely different panel it has the colour of an IPS and the m/s rate of a TN all in one which is probably the cause of the £/$800 a unit. Also with G-Sync which is at least £/$200 in built. I will most likely get one of these I have been dying to get a good 2560x1440, I am not a fan of essentially second hand parts sort of gig, but I am not smashing Qnix at all just more inclined to purchase from a reputable dealer.
