Hi. I'm Wendell. and I have an addiction to importing discounted Korean monitors so that I can have all of the pixels, for less.
This is my favorite monitor for work and play. I still love my 40" workhorses and prefer those for work and code but I have to admit that LG knows how to make a nice IPS panel with a 99% Adobe RGB gamut.
What are your thoughts? Anyone else got one of these? What do you think?
I have been looking into new monitors to revamp my displays and this has caught my eye. One question I've had with the Korean monitors, I have a Qnix 2710, is the Korean Type C plugs, is there any concern with them? It definitely looks to be very similar to the 31" LG 4k monitor that I eyed a while back but determined was too expensive.
Keen to see korean 120hz 4k screens sometime, since now we have that as possible with 1070 1080 cards. (not many games will be able to achieve much about 60fps thought, but I should be able to get warthunder with high-ultra settings running at 120fps on a 1080 card).
[I put this on the YT comments by mistake, these types of reviews generally are YT comment safe, the cancer doesn't invade them most the time!]
Can anyone recommend a high quality Korean to US power adapter that won't set my house on fire? Asked on forum elsewhere with no straight answer. Figure maybe I'll have better luck here.
is it v2? if so let me know how it is. I haven't tried the v2. I love the 40" monitors for work. They are "B grade" but honestly fine for 98% of things. and all the pixels!!!
Nah, pretty sure it is V1. When I did an Ebay search couldn't find any V2, almost as if they were never there. They're having a decent sale on it though, so probably out with the old - in with the new. Will be grabbing a GTX 1080, though, for my first 4k setup. Very excited to acquire all of the pixels. I've heard good things.
Edit: There is a "New" AMH A409U by a different seller, but that ships from North Korea and seems to be the same model
Quite a few of the MOBA, FPS shooters and indie games i play will manage 60+ FPS @4k , or upscaled 1440p no problem. DOTA2 runs 90fps on ultra @4k on a GTX970 on Linux, i think with vulkan its even higher at above 100. So thats means a $240 1060 should be the same.
120hz 4k is perfectly fine so long as it offers freesync you can be happy from 40 - 120 all day long. There are desktop improvements at higher than 60fps also. Having the screen ready to take the extra FPS now rather than having to waiting for the consensus that every game can walk 4k 120fps in 5 years is a better bet.
Keep also in mind once 4k screens hit 120hz you will struggle getting past 60fps (assuming high-ultra settings in games).
The 490 with its 12TFLOP performance MIGHT be able to achieve 90fps in most games. But games like Fallout4 will need a 100TFLOP super card because of how poorly optimized they are (also Deus Ex for example).
So I would hold off the 120hz screens when they arrive until a videocard can support them correctly (likely end of 2017 if we are lucky).
