less than 40 hours after I bought it! crazy, ordered Sunday night at 6pm, it came today at 2pm. Free shipping.
Overclocks to 87hz but has horizontal lines every few pixels. Not noticeable, only if you get close. Probably worth keeping at 87hz for gaming. Otherwise hits 75hz perfectly fine, interestingly that's actually the max spec'd refresh rate on it.
Other thoughts, at 60hz there definitely seems to be significant input lag. Not sure what to say, just really glad 75 and 87 are there for me.
Finally, 32" is honestly a little bit... much... I guess I didn't know what I was getting in to. I'm not sure what to do with all the screen real estate, I find myself browsing Chrome on one half of the monitor. I conceived of this simply for development purposes-- having the screen real estate should make documentation reading and stuff nicer.
It dwarfs my 25" 1080p and I'm not sure if I'll keep that or get rid of it and use the Soyo Topaz S 24" 1200p that I have. The vertical viewing space will definitely be prefered on the 1200p but it also uses 65w, whereas the 25" 1080p monitor (with one broken CCFL) only uses 25 (and produces much less heat), both of which make for a lower power bill.
here's an Imgur album of framerate test photos taken at 87hz.
What's with the double-lit squares? Same frame being displayed again? Highest I've tested so far without this problem is 75hz. BTW, on Windows 7 there is a bug in Chromium that's been closed/won't fix about how it only renders at 60fps, even the desktop refresh rate is higher. Not sure why it does this, but for now the best testing I've been able to pull off was with IE11, all programs closed, CPU clocked to the max at 4.3ghz with Cool-n-Quiet disabled
here's another album of tests at 75hz. At 75hz, no double-rendered frames, and no horizontal lines running across the display at each pixel.
