Newbie XB271HK questions.

larryl

Hi Folks:

 

   I just unboxed my XB271HK this afternoon and so far so good.  I haven't seen any stuck or dead pixels. 

 

   What I am seeing is "60" on the upper right corner of my display. 

 

   What is this telling me, "60 FPS"?  Nice to know, but I'd like it to go away now.  How do I make that happen?

 

   This page, this page and this page say this monitor is capable of 75 FPS at 4K resolution.  Is that correct? 

 

   I'm wondering if the monitor can get higher FPS at 1080P? 

 

   Now all I have to do is finish re-installing everything on my C: drive so I can take this into battle.

 

      Thanks
      Larry

I found the "Refresh rate num" in the menu, so that's fixed. 

 

I'm still curious about that max FPS though. 

 

I'll probably do my gaming at 1080P with my current system, and save 4K for work and perhaps other things. 

 

I believe this FPS has to do with signal procressing, and I'm wondering if 1080P would be less demanding and allow a higher FPS.

nope, you can't reach higher frequency lowering resolution, it's not how a panel works.

so 75Hz is the top you can reach using G-Sync.

i suggest you to read this good review and use their calibration settings and icc profile to the best quality image.

Hz and FPS are 2 different things that can be synced using vertical sync or G-sync.
