I hear hitting 90 or 96Hz is shocking from 60Hz
Spoke to Karen on email from overlord Monday, she said they are comming in at end of Dec, she will be emailing everyone who has signed up for one.
This is my 1st monitor with 120hz and AH-Ips, comming off dell u2410 4 years old.
I have been looking at monitors for months ,this is the next Level up as iI see it.
no problem with Glossy for me. This baby seems to have everything I have been looking for!
for you guys that already have2700C, is this Truley a Leap from whats is out now in 27" VA IPS PLS .......
No offense to the OP, but why would I want this over an Asus 1440Hmz monitor?

Really depends on your needs. If it's twitch shooters, then Swift is probably what you want. If you need the benefits of IPS, then Overlord can have you covered and a bit cheaper.
Yeah but for $60 more I get name brand, fairly good Customer service. I've never heard of OverLord, I assume they would be good(customer Service) if they want a space in the market share.
Bad color isn't as inherent to TN as people like to think. Some of it is due to the color shifts with angle, but most of what people complain about regarding bad color is that all cheap TN panels are 6-bit, rather than 8-bit.

2700C overlord 120hz
for some of you who already have this monitor, is the stand very sturdy and well made?
Merry Christmas to All of you
It's the nicest stand I've seen on a monitor.
Yeah pretty easy. You'll have to download CRU and a driver patch that will allow the OC to occur (at least on Nvidia cards):

Re monitor adjustments, only brightness. The monitor has a 'bypass' board which passes the signal from GPU to the display directly which is what allows it to overclock (on driver level). But this also means it has no controls to adjust, ie, contrast, gamma, RGB settings, etc, only brightness. Also no scaler, only single input (DVD-D), which is desirable as it improves input lag.
To adjust contrast, gamma, colors, you can do it through the graphics driver CP. Or you can look for a color profile made by 270OC (or catleap) owners with a colorimeter.

No. I think he is saying that due to a lack of reputable reviews on this monitor, people should be cautious. I for one thank him for doing so as it is beneficial advice for this forum.Actually you are taking a known instance (taking your word for it here. I hadn't read about it prior to now.) of sending ringers out for review and then saying this is the same thing. You are accusing them of being dishonest and deceptive when we haven't had it proven yet.

Multi input + overclock? Suspicious. Very, very few of the multi input monitors have been shown to overclock. And even those were limited to 85hz. It is far more likely that this one does not in fact overclock, and skips frames when a signal>60hz is fed to it.
As for the tempest - it works. It's the "k" series of monitors. We don't complain about Intel not guaranteeing 7.2ghz overclocks, why should we be so skeptical about a much smaller company not guaranteeing 120hz overclocks? Especially if the monitor is *cheaper* than many other competing 1440p monitors. It overclocks. If there has been no user reviews, true, skepticism is the order of the day (such as the monitor above). But there are dozens of user reviews and they are generally positive.
What you should be concerned about -
It overclocks, but you might not get all the way to 120hz. It isn't unusual to get 120hz.
Motion blur of reduced, but only by up to half, strobe lights are still better.
