2560x1440 @ 144Hz and 1920x1080 only 60Hz ?!?

[willi23]

Is it true that the display supports 1080p only at 60Hz??

this quote confuses me:


Below that there are actually limited supporting operating modes. You can run the screen at 1920 x 1080 if you want, but only at 60Hz maximum refresh rate according to this spec. We actually tried the screen at 1920 x 1080 and 144Hz refresh rate and it seemed to work fine, but maybe results will vary.

If you select 1920x1080 it auto-adjusts to full screen at 60Hz due to upscaling.
Then manually select 144Hz from the display options and it will readjust to 1:1 pixel mapping at 144Hz. This basically looks like a smaller display within your display with black bars around. No display can do scaling and ultra-fast pixel response.

Can you verify whether these black bars appear above/below, left/right, or as a box around the image in that scenario? If it's like cinema bars (above/below) that wouldn't be such a bad thing I imagine.

Scenario 1: My Desktop Resolution in Win8 is 2560x1440. Now i want to play a game (for example FPS). I set the ingame resultion on 1920x1080 added to this i want to play with 120Hz and ULMB. How would this Scenario look like?

144Hz FHD scenario - there are black bars around it.
60Hz FHD scenario - it scales to fit the whole screen.

You can select either mode via the windows control panel, as Turbo Button won't work outside of native res.

I'll take a photo tomorrow and show you :)

This is what Full HD at 144Hz looks like:
