I accidentally purchased this monitor instead of the 15khz capable Acer G276HL Kbix. The seller did not cancel my order despite me asking him to 10 minutes after I placed it. So just incase this monitor is 15khz capable and it will actually do what I want I thought I'd check to see if anyone had any experience with it. I can't find any info about the horizontal scanrate anywhere.

I cannot find any info stating that the Acer G276HL Kbix or Gbmid can do less than 30Khz horiztonal. The lowest Horizontal on any LCD/LED I have seen is 22Khz but they old models. Where did you read the Kbix could do 15Khz ?

Wow thanks ! Sorry but could not find any info on the Gbmid, tech data said 30khz-80khz.
edit: I see the older 5:4 monitors on that list, some are what I heard did well on low Hz scans and is what was thinking of. Did not know some bigger 16:10 were capable.

When you follow the link on that page about the Acer G276HL Kbix ir actually points to the spec page of the Gbmid version that I got. I wonder which is the correct version...I may have to open and try it out when I get it to find out I guess...
