    It is essentially that. I can find screens that are 2560x1440 on the net for decent pricing, and a controller board and you have yourself a diy high-res monitor for ~$450. (note: NOT 4K) The only place that's got any competition right now are the smartphone screen providers. If it were price per pixel, the 4k monitor i drooled over a few pages ago would be outrageous if the same price-per-pixel made its way into phone land. The past 2 years have been the industry orgasm-ing over HDTVs and it's only now that it's starting to fade. The size of the 23" monitor i bought on black friday fits me JUST fine, despite desperately wanting 4k res.

    But also, that Dell is for artists and extreme enthusiasts like Freelancer who spends $5,500 per computer. It supports adobe RGB and sRGB color ranges, so that's also a part of the reason for the increase in price. (note that the lag is 8ms, which may create a ghosting effect while gaming due to the enhanced color precision)

    Maybe a Power supply problem?

    You know, my monitor is also supposedly 6 ms GTG with 12 ms typical, 16 ms tested by Anand. If it's ghosting, I'm usually too busy having fun or oogling at the visuals to care. A bigger issue is the input lag that results when you enable VSYNC. In Battlefield, it's enough to get you killed.

    You can get non-DIY 2560x1440 screens for less than that. For example, this.

    nope.

    It was a while back because i had a warped fucked CPU heatsink and fan, but i now run a MASSIVE cpu fan, which keeps it at 35 degrees under load.
