Congrats dear. I wish my cable management was that good. What is so special about this elite version? And how many fans did you get with the same?

Elite version i believe has an HDMI jack upnfront and has a magnetic addon accessory for your gaming headphones. I was looking at the elite for my build as well.

Thank you!
It came with 2 black fans as exhaust, the only issue i faced was that i could not put these fans as intake because they did not have the spiral on the other side where the screws go in, so the screws always got stuck half way, probably could put some force and make the spiral but dint cause that could have damaged the fan, its plastic after all. Other than that this cabinet is just amazing to work with.

To add, TN panels are better suites for gaming due to faster response times, but they suffer from color shift as you rotate the panel or change your position.
If you are looking for work primarily, IPS panels are better. I do not game and all three monitors I have purcahed over last 8 years have been IPS, Two Dell Ultrasharps and One LG 4K.

That said, you would ideally want to move up to 144Hz for gaming...

Hey, I got the monitor and it does look amazing. I had one question though, how do you enable freesync? I can't find it any where in the menu. I heard that you can enable freesync with nvidia card to get 75hz.

FreeSync is for AMD and nkt nVidia. nVidia has G-Sync. The nVidia technology is proprietary and so G-Sync Monitors are fewer and generally more expensive.

Yes, I know freesync is AMD technology but i have read across many forums that you can get 75hz with this monitor using a nvidia card if you enable freesync and change some setting in nvidia control panel.

I think you are talking about fast sync
Right-click anywhere on the desktop and click on “NVIDIA Control Panel” to open up the software.
Now, click on “Manage 3D settings” located in the left pane of the software.
Once done, scroll down in the right pane and click on “Vertical Sync” option. Now, choose “Fast” from the dropdown and click on “Apply” to save these settings.
Disable vsync in all games.

Yes, but that is what i'm asking..i don't see any option in my monitors settings menu where i can enable freesync. I know that i can't get freesync advantages with nvidia card, but i'm just looking for that 75 hz and for that i need to activate freesync. But the question is how?
Did you read the above post by @SaiyanGoku?

Yes, I've done that. But what i've read on other forums is that i need to enable freesync through my monitors settings first. No matter if i have nvidia card or amd card, if my monitor can support freesync it should have an option to enable it. But i can't find it anywhere.
Enable Freesync via HDMI cable - [Solved] - Displays
It seems that you need hdmi 1.4a or above cable to enable that option.Which version hdmi cable are you using?
