Around $100 cheaper than the current asus 144hz. Does anyone know if there are any notable problems with this monitor like high input lag or dog shit colors? If anyone who has this monitor could chime in that would be extremely helpful thanks.

nothing wrong with it, besides missing lightboost and 3d support. just offbrand. nobody does monoprice like monoprice.

icyfrenzyI just realized that 1024x768 has a max refresh rate of 75hz (dumb of me, I know).

Is there any way to play tf2 and csgo on 1024x768 with 144hz? My desktop res will be 1920x1080 with 144hz, if needed.

wut? works for me

if you have an NVIDIA card, did you try enabling GPU scaling in the control panel?

icyfrenzyWell I don't have the monitor yet, I just saw a picture of the box and under the supported res, it says 1024x768 is 75hz.

I'll see about that once I get the monitor

If you enable GPU scaling in your graphics drivers, it'll output 1080p144 to the monitor, while upscaling the image on the GPU.

mine also came today, however it keeps losing signal with just the slightest adjustments. i replaced the dvi cable and it doesn't seem to lose power, so i'm thinking it's the monitor that's messed up. i'm going to call monoprice today, but could there be any other possible causes?

Mine also came today. Let's just say, it's awesome.

The only thing about it is the motion blur, but I'll get used to it since it's a first for my eyes to view such fast motion. Too bad lightboost isn't supported.

The monoprice 144Hz is still $160
seen this in another thread and decided to pull the trigger. i am coming from a sony gdm-fw900 so i will post results. i dont have super high expectations for a 160 dollar monitor but i hope i dont get severely heartbroken. one reviewer said 3.5ms response time, others have said 1ms, it doesnt seem to be documented by monoprice. i missed the asus for around 200 and dont feel like buying a used/refurbished one.

ps food for thought- neweggs 3rd party refund policy for the QNIX (which looks like shit btw) is like 15% restocking fee if opened or unless its DOA. Monoprices refund policy with theirs seems to be you only pay return S&H

ok so im back. i got my monitor relatively quick, 1 full week delivery, but ive been busy and didnt have time to set it up until tonight. here are some of my thoughts right off the bat, obviously ymmv:

1) ill start with shipping since i know thats a concern for some people, mine came double boxed and the monitor used foam to protect itself pretty nicely so thats a plus. +1

2)the base's bottom has a thin plastic circular piece with rubber feet on the bottom rather than having the stand rotate inside the base, weird engineering but whatever. at first i was pissed because the base spun fast and felt loose but when pressure of the monitor and stand is applied, it doesnt rotate as much. the rubber feet on the bottom are large and it grips well. +1

3)the stand screws into the back of the monitor, this part i had some trouble with since the screws go through the back of the stand, then thru the plastic back of the monitor into the metal housing of the components. i had to apply a good amount of force to get the screws to thread thru the plastic into the metal housing, so that was a pain -0.49999999

4) does rotate 90deg which makes it nice to hookup if youve already assembled the base and stand. +1

5) boots average speed, menu easy to follow, colors calibrated to my liking within minutes. +1

now the bad

6) my monitor came with a "light spot" the size of a dime about 6 inches southwest from the middle of the screen (as pictured below) i pressed on it just to fuck with it and it made a pixel turn green, then pressed it again and it went back lmao

7) the response time is definitely noticeable between this and my crt, but then again this is my first real 120/144hz led so i may have been spoiled by the cancer giving tubes ive been staring into for years. there is also noticeable blur compared to my crt, but again probably same reason as above. right now i have them next to each other to see which i like best but im trying to get away from the crt why do i do this to myself???iwede2whfuiowebcvju io;qwn3r9-ujm

idk ill probably rma it if the spot bothers me enough, really not a bad monitor for 160 bucks. but this review is useless to you all now since i saw its back up to 250
