Anyone tried the Qnix 2414 144hz monitors?

 

[i1magic]

Planning to. But the price tag ($799 before any promo) is making me think twice.. I even bought a Loctek monitor arm from Taobao.. but have not placed an order for the monitor.

31.5" is way too huge for desk placement.

31" too large? Nah, using 40" and its more than fine

Actually, I have a funny idea. Just get the Mi TV 2 55" 4K TV at about $1.5K and use it for PC. Since it's 4K, it'll be equivalent to 4 x FHD.

But if were to play game on it .... very xiong for the gfx card.

2735AMG with PS4

Hey guys, got a Blacktune 2735AMG (dvi only) awhile back for PC usage, not sure why I didnt go for the version with HDMI port but oh well.

Just got my PS4 so was thinking of using the monitor with it as well.
I bought a HDMI(male) to DVI-D adaptor and connected to my PS4. Didnt work.
Should it work in the first place?
Because I'm suspecting either the 2735 doesnt support this form of connection or that the adaptor is simply defective. I'm also wondering if the version of the HDMI cables matter...

Some advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Nope not possible. The monitor does not have a built-in scaler.

Thanks guys. Went and got the LG34UC97 in the end. $$$$$$$$

I believe all the pivot models can adjust.

If you don't mind the trouble, I rather you get the cheapest option you have and then simply get an additional custom stand (get from Amazon). The most same price but you get a much much better stand.

I bought my crossover without the stand. Can anyone recommend a decent adjustable stand from amazon or where ever?

If you don't need to move it up and down, can consider monitor mount.

I have bought and used my Crossover since 2012. Yay.

Me too! I got 2 CrossOver since May 2012.

Bought mine in 2012 from eBay. Usd270. Good thing still working. If I could redo, I'd spend 50 more with build in scaler option. Ended up getting another TV because only PC works on this Korean monitor

acer forums and overclock.net

my crossover start to flicker and auto off again ...bought in 2012 ...replaced one of the board once already ...after 2 months same problem again ...sian

 

[Eidekos]

anyone using QX2710 (hdmi) as a extended monitor for MBP 13"? how is it

 

[i1magic]

I've open up my monitor again and found this :

After reading from :

CrossOver 27Q LED/LED-P, 27M LED, & 2720MDP GOLD LED Monitor Club - Page 576

This "REV 00" LED Driver board will confirm fail and it is a matter of time.

They said that the new one (see picture, green PCB) is better.

Let me message my seller "Green-Sum" and see what they say.

Same here, bought in May 2012. Wah, after 2 months problem again?

If the replacement board is the blue one above, please add a headsink or even better a small fan to blow at the burnt IC chip above. Based on the analysis provided by some electronic expert in another forum, that IC chip becomes really hot when the monitor is running.

So unless you find a way to help dissipate the heat, the problem will come again. But if the replacement board is NOT the blue one, then I don't know what's wrong liao.

 

[crashnburn4u]

Did this ever get resolved?

 

[i1magic]

I agree with you. Basically, when we are paying more, we are paying for the additional specs + warranty.

I actually ordered 2 x CrossOver 27Q with stand on 21 May 2012. On around Jan 2014 (about 1yrs 7mths after), one of the monitor starts flickering and eventually the screen blacked-out.

After some research, open up the monitor and found out that the LED driver board has a chip that is toasted. Contacted the seller and asked for a replacement LED driver board. Cost me about SGD$60.

They sent it over to me. I opened up the monitor, replaced the LED driver board and *finger crossed* the monitor has been serving me well since.

Reaching 4yrs liao. Hopefully can last 10yrs!! =)
