How does this monitor handle scaling? I'd like to run it off of a laptop with a Geforce 580M series card - Res ~ 1920x1080 for gaming

Based on the fact PC Gamer declared this the best monitor for gaming available on the market right now I don't think the "don't use this for gaming" is good advice. Your ghosting of window's frames is probably due to visual settings in windows as this monitor has a 5ms response time which is pretty much as fast as the human eye can detect. Edit, 28 Feb: Got mine in today and I'm blown away, finally putting the extra horsepower in my gaming rig to some use bumping my games from 1080p to 1440p and it looks amazing, really gave me the "wow" factor normally associated with a major hardware upgrade. No ghosting in Battlefield 4, between color and resolution I felt like I could pic out every little detail and guys moving around from really far away with ease.

Don't use it for gaming. I notice color ghosting when I'm just moving windows around on screen so I think it will look pretty bad if you try some high fps gaming on it. This monitor was built for superb color accuracy (and it does it really well) and that comes at the expense of things like response time. Asus makes other monitors that are specifically for gaming, I suggest you go with one of those.

Right now, I'm playing Witcher 2 on 1366x768 resolution and most of the other settings on medium or high, with no lag and no trouble whatsoever. Also, I played Crysis 1 also on 1366x768 with no trouble either. As for as gaming computers, I have to say that right now I do use an Xbox gamepad with all of my games. IF you use the mousepad on the computer, you might have trouble because the left and right click are sensitive to touch and built into the touch pad. If you do use a mouse, I recommend getting a usb external mouse. As far as what games this PC will play, I don't think you'll have any problem with graphics or fps. Great gaming computer.

Monitors don't really affect your gaming experience its your computer and mainly video card. But its good, a bit small for my liking.

I am using a second monitor, a 1600 x 900, works great. But I checked the settings and that is the highest number available. Hope that helps

The PC runs very well on every game that I have tried so far. Although, the two things I do not like on this laptop itself is the wireless card and the resolution of the laptop. The wireless card built in cannot connect as well to the area's wifi than my own wireless USB adapter, which I bought myself, since I knew beforehand that the wireless card on the laptop was not that great. I get about 3 bars with the laptop's built in wireless card, while my USB adapter gets about 5 bars of connectivity. The resolution of the laptop cannot be changed, but I do wish it was a bit larger. I plan on being an external monitor or just save up for a better laptop in the future. Some games are unable to go full screen, but I can manage for the mean time. Other than that, the laptop is capable of being used for gaming. Hope this helps!

I'm using it on a Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) system right now. I'm happier with it since I upgrade from the on-board video to a stand-alone PCI-E video card with 2G of memory....the max resolution on this monitor was a stretch for the 4GB I had in the system. I had bought a set of 'computer cheaters' to fit over my bifocals....and haven't used them since I got this 27-incher. I LOVE it! It is bright, and it is Huge.

yes the resolution supports and I use 1920 x 1200 as my default. Overall this dell seems to be good, a little heavy but thats ok

No... You have to use something like DisplayPort in order to get full resolution . That's what I use... Works great... In my situation though, my video card has Display-port outputs. If yours does not, I'm not sure if you can achieve full res.

Hi, Mark. Your reply is very helpful to me. I'll looking at getting a small notebook in the future and was hoping to be able to handle some graphics and web editing without too much of a slow down. I'm glad to know you're happy running Illustrator on the NC10. How is the graphics card with an external monitor? Is the 2nd monitor limited to 1024x600, or can it handle higher res on the external?Thanks!

Works great. Just takes a bit of setup (make sure the monitor is in MST mode). Also note that it takes a pretty beefy graphics card (or cards) to get good fps (I use an AMD R9 295x2, for instance).

Hi George. I have a i5, 16gb ram, and a GTX 660. I play Borderlands, Evil Within, and other games on max video settings and on the native (max) resolution. The games run perfectly and your video card has more power than mine. I love this monitor! I have also tried using the 29" and it really was too small. If you need any examples or demos on the monitor, let me know and I can make a youtube video for you. Youtube video: http://youtu.be/ypMN7Ya4j9c

I run the monitor with a gtx 780, this monitor supports, mini display port, display port, and hdmi, I use the supplied mdp to display port cable, runs fine @ 60H, text is crisp like retina MacBook, with less glare. most modern video cards will run this for browsing and basic tasks but gaming is another story at 4k, I recommend a video card that supports display port 1.2 compliant to receive full 60hz. to my pleasant surprise my gtx 780 plays most games at 4k no problem so far. games tried with 4k that work so far are, mk9,southpark,wolfenstien etc. im sure newer games will be more demanding but no complaints sofar I run the monitor with a gtx 780, this monitor supports, mini display port, display port, and hdmi, I use the supplied mdp to display port cable, runs fine @ 60H, text is crisp like retina MacBook, with less glare. most modern video cards will run this for browsing and basic tasks but gaming is another story at 4k, I recommend a video card that supports display port 1.2 compliant to receive full 60hz. to my pleasant surprise my gtx 780 plays most games at 4k no problem so far. games tried with 4k that work so far are, mk9,southpark,wolfenstien etc. im sure newer games will be more demanding... » Read More I run the monitor with a gtx 780, this monitor supports, mini display port, display port, and hdmi, I use the supplied mdp to display port cable, runs fine @ 60H, text is crisp like retina MacBook, with less glare. most modern video cards will run this for browsing and basic tasks but gaming is another story at 4k, I recommend a video card that supports display port 1.2 compliant to receive full 60hz. to my pleasant surprise my gtx 780 plays most games at 4k no problem so far. games tried with 4k that work so far are, mk9,southpark,wolfenstien etc. im sure newer games will be more demanding but no complaints sofar « Show Less

My resolution is 3840 x 2160 on a 28" Ultra High Definition monitor and I can play all games I have tried at this resolution. I am unsure about 5760 x 1080 as my monitor is not capable of that setting. It seems to be an unusual setting with the video ratio. I have no problem whatsoever at my listed resolution and it beats having to go sli. From what I understand there was a period of time where the drivers were not available for sli at high resolution. Not sure if that is still true or not.

pretty good - set it to 640x480 and 'high quality' in &lt;monitor settings&gt; for best quality

Yeah, this stand is epic. I got 3 27 inch led monitors. Make sure that you get a good card tho. That many pixels on a single card it taxing unless it's pretty high end.

Yes, the graphics card supports that resolution. however it will lag in games with that resolution but it sounds good for normal usage. If you want to play with x3 monitors i'd recommend a desktop instead (i bought this bcuz i travel oftenly)

I use 2 of these for gaming all the time. they are my monitors on my gaming rig and they are sharp and 'fast enough' for me. Only downside is the viewing angle is a little shallow. however, 99% of the time you won't notice it. Only on very white images. Hope this helps.
