Question 1

what size is the bezel?

Accepted Answer

The bezel is 3/4 inch wide on all sides of the screen. Besdies having an awesome picture, this thing has the best stand I've ever encountered on a monitor. Very sturdy.

Question 2

If you have a nvidia card, which supports gsync not freesync, will this monitor still work?  Any issues?I am not interested in Freesync or Gysync just the 144hz..

Accepted Answer

Yes! I got this monitor a few weeks ago and I have a GTX 970, the 144hz is amazing I'm sad I never switch over sooner!

Question 3

What cable does it use for 144hz?

Accepted Answer

The only cable I've been able to reach 144 hz using is Displayport.

While everything that I read assured me that a dual-link DVI cable would reach 144 hz, while using that I was only able to reach 120 hz.

Displayport is optimal anyway, because the v-sync capabilities require it.

Question 4

Can it reach 144hz if connected with HDMI? if no, what will be the highest?

Accepted Answer

Display port is the best and only option for free sync and 144hz. I wouldn't bother with it else wise it caps at like 60-75 I believe without freesync.

Question 5

Does the freesync technology in this monitor support the AMD RX 580 (4gb)?

Accepted Answer

Freesync is a both-party technology. This monitor can recieve and display freesync as long as the graphics card is able to send it. The question you should be asking, rather, is "Does the AMD RX 580 have freesync?". To amswer your question. The 580 will run freesync but only when the monitor is plugged into the display port. Freesync doesnt work with hdmi or dvi.

Question 6

Glossy or Matte screen?

Accepted Answer

Matted. I got mine 9 months ago. Pretty good stuff.

Question 7

Does the speakers come with a headphone jack?

Accepted Answer

No dedicated headphone jack, but there are two aux ports for audio out (one to go to the motherboard and another presumably for peripheral speakers). I haven’t tried, but you may be able to use that as a headphone jack. Most likely you’ll be better off just running headphones to your PC

Question 8

Does this monitor’s freesync technology support the AMD Radeon RX 580 (4gb)?

Accepted Answer

Any AMD video card that supports freesync (So anything newer than an R9 290, I think, but maybe even a bit older than that) and has a DisplayPort interface will work with this monitor's freesync capabilities. The RX 580, regaradless of which version is it, will work just fine so long as it has a Displayport interface.

Question 9

Has anyone noticed any backlight-bleeding? You can test this by creating a purely black image in paint, opening it, and zooming in so it consumes the entire screen. Usually helps when the monitor is the only light in the room.

Accepted Answer

It's a fairly cheap monitor, so yeah it has a good amount of backlight bleeding. Just about any LCD monitor will, though, especially when they are as cheap as this one.

Question 10

What length is the Display port cable it comes with?

Accepted Answer

Around six foot cable
