I have this. If you were thinking about it, buy it. The only reason you are here is because you are on the fence about ordering it due to the cost. Which is why I got a refurbed one like this instead of a shiny new predator X34. Because monies are not infinite. For most people. Your wallet, and/or wife/significant-other may yell at you, and you may apologize... maybe even return it. But no regrets.

Yes the 144 hz is VERY noticeable if coming from a 60 hz / 75 hz monitor. Yes the colors on the IPS are noticeable better than the TN panel (though TN panel is still fine, meh). Yes G-sync is overpriced, but no screen tearing is pretty neat at lower framerates if you are trying to drive this on anything less than a gtx 1070 (recommend gtx 1080 as the perfect pairing... gtx 1080ti obv better but slightly overkill, unless you really wanted those last 20-30 FPS on AAA titles on ULTRA). Yes, you are wasting the G-sync if you have an AMD gpu, as it will not work with an AMD gpu (that's freesync).

I got a really good panel my first time around, a tiny bit of backlight bleed but no dead pixels. Also a microscopic scratch that I didn't even notice until I had the monitor for 3 months... still no regrets.

Recommend: getting a longer DP cable. The DP cable they send you is really short (1 meter). Get this one, it's one of the few cables that is VESA certified.

Don't get one longer than 10 ft, something to do with ... not bandwidth but something or another about signal not doing well after more than 10 ft even on a good cable (ie- won't get 144 hz, or random screen black type issues).

Also recommend: getting a VESA mount arm. The monitor mount adjusts pretty well, has good build quality, but it just screams "look at me, I'm expensive leet gamer gear and could have been returned for several fancy sushi dinners or a nice necklace." Add a janky cheap desk mount, problem solved. Or a nice desk mount, up to you. It's VESA mount compatible.

It could be the DisplayPort cable then that's causing your issues. I remember reading someone having a similar issue on /r/AMD at one point and switching cables fixed it.

Did some searching:
There's a couple reviews on that cable that mention it not working with FreeSync, first one that shows up is talking about the XG270HU. The 2m and 3m Accel DP cable are mentioned as functional with FreeSync in several comments.
This comment from d2_ricci might have something useful.
Additionally here's a post from 8 months ago by /u/AMD_Robert talking about DisplayPort cable quality. He also suggests the Accel cables and links to this DisplayPort Compatibility database. - Though a few people in this thread claim that the Cable Matters DP cable is working for them, but none of them discuss it with FreeSync, only two who specifies their monitor has just 1440p144 and the other has a GSync monitor.

Add me to the list of people recommending the Accell DP cables. This is the one I bought.

Here you go, reviews confirm it does 1440p 144hz.

I just Bought this one https://www.amazon.com/Accell-DisplayPort-Cable-supports-2560x1600/dp/B0098HVXVQ

Many people will tell this is the best, and indeed is a really good one

I know it sounds stupid, but your displayport cable might be the issue. Usually a crap cable is thrown with the monitor, and that ends up causing problems. It works for some, i would try the acell displayport cable:http://www.amazon.com/Accell-B142C-010B-UltraAV-DisplayPort-Latches/dp/B0098HVXVQ

Before you jump on that though, perhaps reinstall drivers and do some bechmarks in several games where you hit 60 solid (preferably games that push your gpu).

Also, it might be a v-sync issue where the frames dropped to 30 but didn't tell you. Try playing without it?

I purchased these Accell 1.2 cables (will work with your 1070). Doesn't look like Accell has any 1.4 cables at the moment (and you likely won't really need them unless you're running an 8K resolution).

lol alright. Went ahead and bought this on a rush delivery, since my city has no computer stores that carry anything useful at all..

DisplayPort at high bandwidth is actually very specific when it comes to cables (especially length). Basically anything over 10ft won't do high bandwidth at all and very few will do high bandwidth reliably at 10ft. You'll need a VESA certified cable. I bought this one and it's been perfect.

> At 2560x1440 and onwards, 10ft DP cables become a crapshoot where they will "work", but not work. If you have one that is working, I would LOVE to know what brand and model it is, because I've tried all of the actual DP certified cables, and none of them work.

I use this cable from Accell - it does 1440p @ 144hz with no issues.

It is actually very important to get an approved DisplayPort cable. HDMI cables don't matter, any cheap cable will work. But DisplayPort cables are a little more complicated and it's possible to buy a cheap one that doesn't work correctly.

I bought this cheap cable because I didn't know it was possible to buy a bad DisplayPort cable. I ran into all sorts of issues with FreeSync not working and my screen flickering/glitching. I thought for sure my monitor or my GPU was broken until I ran into this review for the cable. Turns out the cable isn't DisplayPort compliant and it doesn't meet specs listed at www.displayport.org 's list of qualified devices.

So I bought this DisplayPort cable that is officially approved by DisplayPort. Once I used that cable everything worked flawlessly.

TL;DR: All you need to know is ONLY buy a cable that has DisplayPorts logo on it. Anything else and you risk the chance of the cable not working correctly.

Are you using a DisplayPort cable? If so, make sure it's securely plugged in at both ends. If you're still having issues, replace it with a better DP cable.

It's only 10ft, but it's DP compliant as far as I can tell by the reviews. Hope this helps.

It depends on the amount of data going through the cable. The higher the bandwidth, the shorter the distance.

1440p144Hz is 12.7Gbps, which is relatively high for a DP cable.

After checking through what's available on Amazon, I see that the 25ft cables definitely do not support 1440p144Hz. I see a couple certified 15ft cables that do like this.

Give this one a try.

Really late reply, but it's all the way in. Could the cable be bad? It's the one that came with the monitor. I was thinking of buying one to see if that would help. Was looking at this one.
