Plus the chances of finding an RX580 4GB video card for $200 to take advantage of it's features in the near future seem pretty slim. I guess I'll keep watching for sales on both. And I'm not even certain they make a model with a true 8bit IPS panel.
P.S. The VESA mount is 75 x 75 mm instead of the standard 100 x 100 mm.
Oh, didn't see it used FRC
. I suppose that would explain the much cheaper pricing. It still had to beat TN quality panels in color reproduction though. On the video card front, I'm running my Nixeus EDG 27 on a MSI 7850 2GB at the full 2560x1440 and it runs really well. Of course I'm out of the luck in the Freesync realm, but that is a smaller difference than just going to 144hz from a standard 60hz. The range on this monitor of 40-75 for Freesync without LFC sort of makes it a novelty to me anyhow. I think the 6bit + FRC is actually more of a deal breaker considering the size, format and price.
As far as VESA, most of the mounts I have found include either a bracket or the holes for both 75x75 and 100x100 if for monitors. I've got an Ergotron and an Amazon Basics that work like that, so it's not impossible to pick
Thanks for pointing out the dithering used, I overlooked that.
