My only cans is Sennheiser HD215 that almost died. So yeah that's that.

 

Anyway, I can't post pictures. Is it because this is my first post?

PC's connected to TV's have really low response time.

It's only a temporary monitor but I don't really notice the different. See, my old monitor was an old 1440x900 samsung monitor, so yeah, my tv was kinda an upgrade. I hope I can get a really nice led monitor next year.

Haha, but Samsung makes really great monitor/T.V.'s

If you could, try grabbing a 2MS response time. It helps in gaming. If budget isn't too much of an issue, 120hz monitor is way better than a 60hz one.

For example, instead of buying a second graphic card for SLI or Crossfire, you will notice a lot more improvement jumping for 60hz to 120hz

I had to choose between a 2560x1440 IPS monitor ot 1080p TN 120hz monitor. I can see the 120hz being useful on the competitive scene, but for personal use I think I prefer the higher resolution fidelity and colour accuracy when just enjoying games. I suppose it's all preference, something to think about though.

I do believe 85hz is the maximum you can get at 2560x1600 on a digital signal (DVI/displayport), have they started selling the Overlord monitors? If my mind serves me right, they're Catleap/Yamakasi monitors modified to output the higher refresh rate.

What's your current GPU? Do you think a single 680 can run modern games on 2560*1440?

I'm really interested in high resolution screen more than 120hz screen, but I don't think today's GPU is up for it yet (?)

Not many can run at 85.

GTX 680 can run that resolution at around 30-40FPS if you're playing something like Battlefield 3 on Ultra.

I have two overclocked GTX 680's and run it at 70FPS.

Just a standard screen with higher than 120hz won't help with games as they have various delays through their signal path.

I'm using a single 670, I haven't found a game I can't max at 2560x1440 yet, that's without anti-aliasing which I don't need at this resolution anyway, but I tend to use none or 2-4x depending on the game.

Haven't found a game to max on at that resolution? Think again, Metro 2033.

Nvidia does a lot worst in that section versus AMD cards.

I can play it on Very high (max), Dx11 at 1440p, no anti-aliasing however but I don't count AA into "maxing" a game, as most of the time it can go to stupid levels. One of the best FPS I've played since STALKER, cannot wait for Last Light.
