Question 1

i've connected both the display port and hdmi and it still says 60hz, am i doing something wrong?

Accepted Answer

You will need to confirm that your computer can produce higher than 60Hz. Check your graphic cards specifications or if you are connecting to a laptop, check your laptop output specifications.

You will also likely need to change the refresh rate within your operating system. When I plugged my monitor in, it defaulted to 120Hz instead of 144Hz. After going into the display settings in Windows, I was able to change it to 144Hz.

Question 2

Does this monitor flicker at all when connected via Display Port?

Accepted Answer

I had this issue. I corrected it by going into the monitor settings and turning off displayport 1.2 or 1.4 in the settings, I forget exactly. But, it cleared it up right away and it has been steady 144Hz. Mess around with the monitor settings and you'll get a good display. Definitely worth the $150 I paid. Doesn't compare to my ASUS VG248QE, but for the $100 less, I would take this one any day.

Question 3

does it have a vesa mount?

Accepted Answer

It does have VESA mounting holes in 75x75mm and 100x100mm. I currently have it mounted on an arm and it works well. Although, the mount points are a bit higher on the monitor than other monitors I've mounted.

Question 4

Is this a free sync monitor ?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is. However, that is all it has. You'll only see the benefits of it with AMD cards since it does not sport G-sync. That being said, I  am running an Nvidia card and it's still smoother than most other monitors. FreeSync does help, but you'll still have some screen tearing.

Question 5

Is this monitor ready to mount right out of the packaging?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no depending on what you mean.  It has vesa mounts so it is ready for mounting in that regard.  But it also has a desk mount/stand as shown in the photos here.  But you have to assemble the stand and attach it to the monitor.  Probably a 5 minute job at most.

Question 6

Does this monitor support 144hz via HDMI?

Accepted Answer

This is not  HDMI 1.4  afaik. so, no. Displayport is the best option for this.

Question 7

do you need a dvi adapter for this monitor?

Accepted Answer

No. This monitor has 1 Display Port and 2 HDMI ports. Note that to take advantage of the 144hz it needs to be connected via display port. HDMI does not support 144hz, but HDMI 2.0 (high speed) can support 120hz, Xbox One X current has this option.

Question 8

Freesync or Gsync?

Accepted Answer

This is a Freesync monitor, although I am not sure what the Freesync range is because I was unable to find this information in the documentation or online.

Question 9

Can it mount to a wall with a wall mount?

Accepted Answer

As long as the mount is vesa compatible it should work. I bought a vesa mount and it worked fine with the monitor

Question 10

is this a tn panel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, according to CNET and other review sites, it is a TN panel. For the record, were using this display on a gaming machine used outdoors on our patio. Clean, clear, vibrant even in indirect sun.
