Hi,

So I fine tuned my new monitor last night. I did notice the brightness control is pretty bad, once you go to far up or down its terrible. But mine seems perfect at 45% so I'm very happy with it. That link is a review for the Wasabi Mango QHD275 and mine is the Wasabi Mango QHD277 so maybe they improved that in the new model.

Also I tried to OC my monitor with CRU and I think it worked. My screen changed a few times and I think it looks sharper but how do you tell? When I go to the properties of the display adapter it still show 60Hz. Is this something that happens over the top of that setting or should I be seeing 90Hz there (I changed to 90Hz not 120Hz).

You sure the monitor doesn't drop frames when OCing? Mine does go to 85Hz albeit it drops frame on UFO tests it is easily spotted.

How do I tell? I'm not even sure the change took. That is what I am looking for clarity on. How do I test this to tell if it is indeed running at 90Hz?

Take your phone or camera, set the speed and watch for cubes in line... if some are skipped you are screwed.

Thanks for this. So it will not change in the display adapter properties or game options? It will still show as 60Hz even though its running higher?

What will show? FPS? If you vsync then yes. Albeit the monitor mode remains the same just as you set in the OS settings using CRU.

This is my work PC but this is what I'm talking about. If I use CRU will it show 90Hz here after the change or not?

No point buying any korean monitor with more than one input if you're looking for low input latency. I snagged an x-star with only DVI (they're highly rated too).

yes it will show there as a custom resolution.

Hmmm then I don't think the change took. Thats odd because CRU didn't give me any errors or anything. I will have to test more when I am home tonight.

You need to uncheck the "hide modes that this monitor can't display" option there.
