What's the fresh rate at 2560x1440 resolution? Some of the similar monitor could only run at 30hz, how about this one?

It does indeed run at 60 Hz at the 2560x1440 resolution, but only if you're using DisplayPort or a Dual-Link DVI cable and video card. If you're using a single-link DVI cable and/or video card, you can make the monitor run at 2560x1440@30Hz, but the display prefers to run at 1920x1080@60Hz in this case.

As the others have noted, the box states 60HZ. I can say that I've run much hi-def content, with no discernible motion blur above and beyond what you'd typically expect from an LCD screen. I haven't gamed however, but I've had the monitor since September of 2012 and it's been rock solid for my purposes.

Heres my advice, Get the 29" Ultra Wide, 2560x1080 is amazing. $423 is worth the price. you will never go back to dual monitors ever again. Now that being said, you first have to get used to having a shorter monitor but will love the ultra widescreen. Almost all games I have played support the 2560x1080 (I love all the extra space) and yes games do keep their aspec ratio, you just see more on screen without stretching or squishing. anywho GET IT! or the $1000 LG.Now if you have funds for something bigger and better then checkout the LG 34UM95with a resolution of 3440 x 1440https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnrxNfxRK_4 Heres my advice, Get the 29" Ultra Wide, 2560x1080 is amazing. $423 is worth the price. you will never go back to dual monitors ever again.

According to the manual, page 52, the photos show that only the DVI and DisplayPort inputs allow for an Optimal Mode 2650 x 1440 resolution. The HDMI photo shows an Optimal Mode of 1920 x 1080. That seems to jibe with what I've read elsewhere. You can download the manual from Samsung's site (under Support). I'm using the DVI input at the full 2560 x 1440. Hope this helps!

Hi Thank you for your interest but I'm sorry Intergrated(on-board) graphic chip can not support 2560x1440 resolution directly. So we can't guarantee the compatibility. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay (business trip). The basic refresh rate varies with screen resolution. Running native resolution of VESA, 2560 x 1440 (RB) has a Horizontal Frequency of 88.787 and a Vertical Frequency of 59.951 (Clock Frequency of 241.500 MHz). The vertical frequencies are pretty much 60 Hz for most resolutions, but can jump to 75 Hz for MAC, 1152 x 870 and VESA, 1280 x 1024. For the numbers for each mode and a complete description of the monitor, surf to Samsung.com and look for the model number under Support and Downloads. RSR

If you have 120Hz, you shouldn't have a problem. Were you not able to watch in 1080p ? I don't know anything about changing refresh rates.

Replace the DisplayPort cable, it sucks.Buy another, much thicker one,one that's rated for 2160 x 3840 pixels, 60 Hz, IPS, DisplayPort 1.2 . Seriously.With a bad/poor cable, like the one that comeswith the $700 Dell UltraSharp UP2414Q,you might be forced into 29 Hz, low-res mode...and/or the cable will just plain break, causing garbage to appear on the screen.It's worse if you swing it portrait, and/or move it around a lot.The original cable had bent pins and the like... really bad.Why did Dell give me such a -crappy- cable ? ?Dell's cable is half the thickness of the $9 one I boughtto replace it ( same day shipping, from/to Seattle, Amazon ).

That's what I do and I'm happy with the resolution. Obviously, the quality of the TV's image is the limiting factor. Don't expect the picture to be the same as one of those beautiful (and expensive) Apple monitors. HDMI vs. FIREWIRE? I don't know the specs.

Yes, I returned Dell S2415H because the text is not black, gray, gives me a headache because I use it reading news, stock quote. I use the multimedia screen on this monitor and doesn't give me a headache. Compared with my Qnix2710 which is 1440p, I prefer this benq for reading and multimedia use. I returned hp 25xi because of flicker, gives me a headache too.

I am currently running this monitor on Mavericks at 60 Hz with full 4K resolution. There is scaling available in system preferences.

Same here. I don't have the right graphics card in my laptop, so the monitor didn't work well for me. Poor resolution. Since it would cost $160 shipping to return it, I am going to get a new graphics card. Vendor tech support has been helpful. Check the specs first!

Most monitors don't come with an HDMI cable and not just low end models like this one. It will also only output 1080p over HDMI, which on a 27" looks horrible regardless. You're not losing any quality by going over DVI, in fact on this particular model, that is your best bet over HDMI.

Refresh rate isn't as important as it was a few years back. Look at the motion rate, This set has a CMR of 1440, that is the highest CMR of any set to date.

Neither is it PLS, nor does it have a single DP. You may only connect via a good DVI-D cable, but then you can overclock to 2560x1440 @ 120hz (+-20hz about, depending on your luck) I bought this exact model before and unless they totally changed it, the description is plainly misleading/wrong now.

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.

I believe its a 60 refresh rate. I have had this tv for over 2 years now and not one problem. I would recomend it. Itd better picture than a new samsung i recently bought.
