    I believe there's an Astivita associate here so hopefully he/she can answer some questions about this unit.

    This seems like a steal if it's IPS? Passable for gaming at 75hz too

    • AssociatedAstivita @ Astivita on 27/03/2019 - 11:51

      It's IPS! :)

        Is it Freesync? Other comments want to know too, I thought I'd get a faster response if I reply to this.

        • cyanogen101 on 28/03/2019 - 03:51

          No it's not. I have one.

          Don't think it claims to be freesync anywhere on the page does it?

        • AssociatedAstivita @ Astivita on 29/03/2019 - 19:10

    I own one of these and it does indeed do 75hz at 1440p. You have to create a custom profile in Nvidia Control Panel (or whatever the AMD equivalent is) to activate it.

    • Bigboomboom on 27/03/2019 - 11:56

      You meant Custom Resolution? That's just Overclocking it.

      • Daniel6092 on 27/03/2019 - 16:16

        Not custom resolution, you just go change resolution and select refresh rate. It's just that 75hz will not show in the windows settings unless you do this first.

      my normal distance is 45cm and i find it too big, has to back off 1m away

      • ltwo on 27/03/2019 - 11:48

        just measured and hypothetically, mine would sit at about 60-75cm away. hmm… might be worth a go and take up Prime's refund policy if it's too big?

        • Terencee on 27/03/2019 - 12:29

          I sit about 70cm away from the screen and it's awesome!

      I would say no, stick to a large monitor with a lower resolution like 1080p. Always look at the dot pitch to compare monitors.

    • Jaduqimon on 27/03/2019 - 12:27

      U can test it out by increasing ur resolution scale to 1440p even on a 1080p monitor

  • morebunnings on 27/03/2019 - 12:46

    I bought 2 of these last time they were on special. Had to return both of them because one kept showing a red cross-hair in the middle of the screen. Tried contacting them for support so that I could just replace one and not have to send them both back, but never got an answer. Couldn't return one and re-buy it because it was no longer on sale.

    Be aware that while these are vesa mountable, they are not compatible with a lot of stands because there is a raised plastic square in the middle of the VESA mount.

    I ended up getting some similar viewsonic monitors off an ebay sale instead. These had a better picture than the veiwsonic, but unfortunately the stupid red cross-hair issue, and no customer support, meant I couldn't keep them and had to send them both back. Thank god Amazon covered the return shipping.

        Sounds like the button was faulty and registering presses erroneously.

      • morebunnings on 28/03/2019 - 09:22

        Yeah, unfortunately something was wrong with the wiring/internals, as it kept going back into crosshair mode. Every 5 minutes the crosshair would come on and continuously cycle, and I'd press the button a bunch of times and it would go away.. for 5 minutes and then come back, rinse and repeat.

    I have been thinking about the monitor for a while but decided to pass. I came across a review that detailed the flimsy on off switch at the back and it eventually broke and fell into the back of the monitors casing. As I turn my monitor on and off regularly i thought this might be an issue and have sort other options in the market place.

    • Terencee on 27/03/2019 - 17:22

    I wish I saw this deal earlier… Just so I could let people know about quality control.

    Have had one of these since last deal - faulty cabling in the monitor. I get random change in hue between left and right half of the screen - SUPER annoying as often it flickers. Fiddling with the cable tends to alter the intensity. Happens with both displayport and HDMI.

    Similarly, the silver lining around the screen edge is actually just a sticker and hides the screws, and has started to peel off on its own on the bottom of my screen.

    Have contacted @AstiVita multiple times via email and tried calling and have had no help. Amazon said Astivita deal with refund/repair/replacement, but its hard when they never respond.

    Would be nice if they contacted me and sorted it out - I'm not even fussed about refunds etc, just want to troubleshoot… and if no dice get a replacement and let them sort out the cabling in this one.

    • CVonC on 27/03/2019 - 20:23
