hmm maybe cable issues

You can buy from Curve Cables. If you order today, should be able to receive it by tomorrow.
Bought my mini DP to DP from SLS and got lots of problems with screen flickering every few minutes. Bought at Curve Cables and those are definitely high quality cables in comparison.

or u wanna buy new cable from here

That is exactly why I recommended you not to buy your mDP-DP cable from SLS because I myself faced the same experience.
Now that you are in the same footsteps as me, I'd recommend you heed my advice and buy your cable from shine_38's links below. Curve Cables's cables are quite high quality and I've bought my mDP-DP cable for my laptop to monitor connection along with 2 other DP cables on 2 separate occasions after I've upgraded my setup to a full sized desktop. And unlike the SLS DP cables, theirs never gave me any sort of problems.

Challenger most likely does not have these cables along with the Nubox as I myself have been there looking for these cables till I found Curve Cables.

now that i able to use only dp cable for the monitor (no hdmi), i manage to get it worked...

but the problem is.....i try change setting in nvidia control panel, enable gsync, turn off vsync in global...and set the resolution to 1440p.

all is ok...except the refresh rate..it stuck at 60..when i click 144...monitor turn dark....for a few seconds...turn back on...the refresh rate change back to 60...

thanks bro LiLasN and shine_38 for recommending the cable and qoo links..

meanwhile using hdmi cable to use the monitor..hopefully no more trouble after this

go to this website (found online)

http://jasonfarrell.com/misc/deadpixeltest.php

press black..press F11 for fullscreen..off the lights...

snap the photo with camera..you'll see the blb issues.

other than that, i use other color white red green blue to find dead pixel..

but do be warned, once u saw the dead pixel, it will be forever as u will keep notice it..

im still in contact with acer sg on this issues...they are not very responsive...

just worried they'll say "warranty doesnt cover this, u got the monitor its ur luck bye2"

I was testing my monitors with that link you posted last night. I am actually quite pleased with the BLB from my seating position (from other positions it can be quite bad though). When set to white, I noticed a "sick pixel" that seems to alternate between dead and alive. This "sick pixel" occurs on the monitor that has the slight yellow tint. Will be contacting Acer to see if this warrants a replacement.

yep bro. i still testing/calibrating. everything good except the BLB. it quite unnoticeable to my eye. still considering if want to contact acer for a change. sometimes the set they changed might become worse. it like lottery

I think the problem is on nvidia driver, my asus 770 also problem with dp , lasttime i use amd still ok

it not the driver issue. palit gpu does not come with DP (maybe selected model) if twlee88 bought other gpu it may already come with the display port and not have gone through the hassle to buy cable again from mini DP to DP and the cable cannot work...
