Question 1

does this monitor support 1.2 or 1.2a DisplayPort?

Accepted Answer

I own this monitor and I am using the DisplayPort, but how can I check whether it's "1.2" or "1.2a"?

Question 2

will my Dell xps 8300 support this monitor?

Accepted Answer

I believe the XPS 8300 have 2nd Gen Intel i5/i7 cpus. I am running a fourth gen i7-4770K, overclocked and water-cooled, with an 6GB AMD HD7990 (DUAL GPU) and was not impressed with any game on 4K resolution.  Still photos were amazing and any true 4K videos I could find, were also amazing. I ended up returning the monitor and taking a hit on the 15% restock fee. Even running at 60hz, I would get tearing, that I didn't get on a cheaper $150 monitor. Even newer games (like Titanfall) didn't run smoothly on 4K with all details cranked to max, so I either had to set details lower or resolution lower, I always went with lower resolution, since dropping the details make the game look inferior, and most games still look awesome at 1080p with details on MAX. The HD7990 is still one of the fastest cards on the market, and has 4 Display ports, but it couldn't push 4K to a playable resolution. Oddly 1080p was not a native resolution of the monitor, so when gaming on 1080p, it still upscaled to 4K, so it had to refresh the entire 8M pixels, which is were the tearing came from. Also, oddball resolutions (2560x1440) etc, do not fill the entire screen, which looked rediculous.....I decided my rig and I were not ready to waste the money on 4K, but you may have a better experience. I couldn't justify the cost of a 4K monitor, to still game at 1080p

Question 3

Is this monitor Display Port 1.1, or 1.2?

Question 4

Does this support VESA mounting? Its not specified and its hard to tell with the image.

Accepted Answer

Yes I was able to mount it on a 100x100 vesa mount. you just have to unscrew the included stand and voila!

Question 5

I own the AOC 2560X1080 monitor 29" Ultra wide and this thing is insane for the price! how could I pass this up?

I am debating on this AOC 4K monitor for gaming or the Asus Swift 2k 144hz monitor.

Can't decide.

I got a beastly rig but sadly I need a 980 GTX prob sli to run this thing lol, I got GTX 770 sli 2gb's.

Accepted Answer

One of the great things about this monitor, it has every input you need. I'm not familiar with the 770 so I don't know the max resolution it supports. The AOC supports 4K through the Display Port (DP) and the HDMI inputs. If you are using DVI or VGA inputs, then the max res is basically 1080P. I would suggest buying this monitor, as it is ready for your future upgrade to a 4K GPU.

One cravat, VGA, DVI and HDMI are all 30Mhz and DP is 60Mhz. With 2 side by side, one plugged in to DP and plugged into HDMI, I see no difference, but, I'm not a gamer. I dapple in video editing.

Question 6

Can you add Nvidia G-Sync kit to this monitor ?

Accepted Answer

No you can not.  It requires a special chip in the monitor.
