i wanted to know if anyone has found a good color calaboration file for the brightness/gamma. The colors on this screen makes me want to cut my dick off, slow roast it with honey than feed it to baby whales. post here if u found a file or good settings (for gaming).
First, make sure you are using "Standard" mode. DO NOT use any of the other modes unless you really need access to any of the locked-out settings (you shouldn't). "Night View Mode" in particular is VERY BAD and will destroy your black levels completely.
Brightness: 55 (feel free to adjust this one up or down based on preference)
Contrast: 88
Color Temp.: User Mode - Red 90/Green 90/Blue 90 (this monitor is wonderfully neutral, I was surprised)
Smart View: Off
TraceFree: 60 (40 is also good, and might be more desirable for non-gaming instances of motion on-screen)
Install the driver to enable 144Hz in Windows, then go to PCmonitor.info (google it with keyword VG248QE) and download the specific AMD or NVIDIA color profile for this monitor which you can load to win7 or win8 and lastly set the monitor (firmware menu) to:
Standard profile
Brightness 25-35
Contrast 70
Red 100
Green 90
Blue 89
I found both of these on Newegg reviews for the monitor. I would try these out. Also (Hardware Section)

I'm running three of them. At 144hz they sometimes get a little blue discoloration or fuzziness so I slowed them down to 120hz and that completely stopped. For color. I got brightness at 100, contrast at 80, saturation at 50, color temp "user mode", skin tone normal. Sharpness 100, Tracefree 100.
Edit: All colors - 100 I use gaming mode.
Hope this helps. ;)

other than that how do you feel about the monitor?
Compared to my previous monitor which was a benq 2410 @ 60 hz they completely blow it out of the fucking water. Every game I play runs very nicely, really good color. I also really like being able to blatantly cheat in games with no crosshair with the crosshairs you can enable :) However I am disappointed that I'm having color issues/flickering lines when running in at 144 hz. Overall I would say 9/10. I'm a hard guy to please so that's a pretty good rating.
hey pine, from what i've read the color issues/flickering lines may have to do with the cable @ 144hz. Are you using the dual link DVI or displayport? You may want to try a different cable if you can get your hands on one. I'm recieving my monitor today so I can probably see if I have a similar issue tonight.
It's probably because I'm running them through eyefinity. Which means you need the active dual link dvi to eyefinity adapter to enable the higher refresh rates. The adapter probably wasn't designed to put out 144 hz. My gpu only uses eyefinity ports, but I bet on a normal card where the dual link dvi directly connects to the card this wouldn't occur. If you're planning on running multiple monitors I suggest getting one 144 hz monitor and 2 60 hz monitors as the active dual link dvi adapters are not cheap.
It's great. It only has "bad" colors out of the box. You just need to adjust the ICC profile and it will look as good, if not better, than every other TN panel. I'm running at 144 hertz at all times and I'm not getting whatever pine_beetle is getting. I'm convinced this is the best "gaming" monitor currently available, I've had no problems on my end. I love it.
Can't seem to enable 144hz.
I'm using the DVI-D cord provided, tried reinstalling my video card drivers (AMD Radeon 7950), made sure I had the current drivers for the monitor, and checked both Catalyst and Windows settings.
Any suggestions?

-snip- never mind this was a stupid idea and i should have one my research
Nevermind fixed it.
Plugged it in the first DVI port instead of the bottom one.

Note to everyone:
Make sure to check out the lightboost feature (http://www.blurbusters.com/zero-motion-blur/lightboost/). Use the hack thing and test it out for a bit. It can be either really nice or you can like the 144hz better but theres no reason to overlook this

Requires an nvidia card; won't work on AMD fyi
Definitely worth the time spent setting it up though

Maybe on AMD, though you still need an nvidia card :(. I don't have a lightboost monitor to test ^ with but posts below seem to support it.

Would this be allowed with ESEA? It uses a program separate from the drivers to do this, so I'm kinda confused.

I use CRU for my monitor Overclocking. It just makes an entirely new EDID for the monitor. ESEA can't do anything about that.
I used an EDID generated by CRU for all of s13. 86hz LCD, so much better than 60hz..
