Question 1

i got a gtx 1060 6gb what should i use 1080p or 1440p?

Accepted Answer

I can honestly say that getting a 1440p monitor at 144hz, changed my gaming experience. I would recommend a 1440p monitor to anyone who can afford to have the choice. I have this monitor and its great. Games like the witcher 3, Battlefront 2 Battlefield 1, Hellblade all look so much clearer.

Question 2

Is this for real IPS? It says AH-VA and I'm skeptical.

Accepted Answer

It is a type of ips. It's a lower quality ips, but a quick color adjust in the menu fixes that. Input lag is better than most IPS. Note, this is not the same as display response time. Response time us 6ms, good, input lag is 1ms, great. This is not advertised, but it's important.

Question 3

What is the FreeSync range, 30-144?

Accepted Answer

30-144Hz without LFC, 15-144Hz with LFC (which is enabled automatically).

LFC expands the FreeSync range to 1/2 the minimum through the use of frame-doubling (same way G-SYNC does it as well); aka from 15-30fps, FreeSync stays enabled by the GPU doubling up the output frames so the refresh rate stays above the 30Hz threshold. This doesn't look quite as good as FreeSync w/o this doubling, aka when natively in the 30-144fps/Hz range, but INFINITELY better than with no FreeSync on at all, and prevents the sudden & dramatic shift from "FreeSync = on" to "FreeSync = off" that would otherwise occur when/if you dropped under that 30fps/Hz point.)

Question 4

Can you get 144hz with a card from Nvidia? Or is it with freesync only

Accepted Answer

Based on what I have read, we will still have the option of choosing 60hz or 144hz, but no variable refresh rate unless and until nvidia decides to support FreeSync (which is open source).

Question 5

Is a evga gtx 970 a good enough video card to get the best out of this monitor?

Accepted Answer

Negative, from what ive been reading to enjoy a 1440p with good fps and to take advantage of the 144hz refresh rate, you would need a 1070 or the equivelant. 970 is great for a 1080p monitor but it struggles a bit with 1440p which is 77% more demanding on the gpu.

Question 6

Stand is adjustable?

Accepted Answer

The monitor tilts, but does not have height adjustment. Thankfully it is VESA compliant, so mounting to a height-adjustable arm is an option.

Question 7

Can you manually change the refresh rate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can do it in your video card settings or monitor settings 60/144hz
