I'm pretty sure ICC-profiles should work on both Windows and Mac.

Re: List of all IPS/VA gsync/freesync monitors

It's all subjective. I've had an XB270HU on my desk. I thought it was garbage. I got another one, it was also garbage. I rather using my old 1920x1080 TN, because it makes me happier than the XB270HU did. The reason ? IPS-glow. Or backlight-bleeding. I don't care what it was. (I think it's glow, I k...

Re: Acer announces 144hz IPS 1440p G-SYNC! [XB270HU, XG270HU

Sorry for huge offtopic, but is this true? I have used Digital Vibrance in Nvidia settings, but I haven't realized it changes my ICC profile. I need to test this. Oh, it seems you are right. About Digital Vibrance. You have to chose between either "pure ICC" or manually set brightness/contrast/gamm...

Re: Why aren't gamers worshipping at the altar of strobing?

I think the best solution to deal with both stutter (G-Sync) and anti-blur (ULMB) would be to have 1000 Hz monitors. The problem with stutter is that if the GPU isn't capable of rendering a frame every 16.6ms, you will see some frames shown for 33.3ms. And if the GPU is really fast, you will see som...

Re: Acer XB270HA 27" 1080p 144hz

It is virtually impossible for manufacturers to make 2 identical panels of exactly the same type and have them have exactly the same colors. That is why you should calibrate every monitor itself. Even when you have the profile of another monitor of that same type. That's how hard it is to produce a ...

Re: Acer announces 144hz IPS 1440p G-SYNC! [XB270HU, XG270HU

As far as I'm aware, none of those "color keeper" programs actually work in the way we'd expect them to. They may retain the color profile on the desktop, but in fullscreen mode games still use their own color settings. The only way to retain your color profile is to run the game in windowed / bord...

Re: Acer XB270HA 27" 1080p 144hz

Hey guys was wondering will the color settings and previously linked ICC profile work with a XB240HA? Is the only difference between the XB240HA & XB270HA is that one is 24 inches and the other is 27? Different monitors, with different panels. I doubt that they would be the same. Why don't you use ...

Re: what is cable overhead for?

From the Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Technical_specifications 8b/10b encoding provides DC-balancing and Embedded Clock within serial channel (10 bit symbols, 20% coding overhead) This means that for every 8 bits that are transmitted, there will be actually 10 bits flying over...

Re: new monitor for gaming Eizo or Benq?????????

FYI the refresh rate on the Eizo FG2421 is indeed 240 Hz. The maximum input-rate is only 120 fps though. The Eizo alternates each frame it displays with a fully black frame it displays. So it does display 240 frames per second. But half of those frames will be black frames. This alternating of black...
