Thanks! I just checked and it seems that it's either display port or HDMI from monitor to DVI port on the card. I'm using the HDMI cable supplied in the box but can't get the resolution to show up
Will try to get the adapter and see. Thanks again

Here my screenshot. 1st screenshot is 65% brightness and 70% contrast. 2nd screenshot is 100% brightness and 70% contrast.

No additional setting tune at game or display control panel which default at brightness 0% and contrast 50% at Intel HD 530.

I am using laptop which means the Nvidia is purely for GPU only.

The display output is control by Intel HD 530. The RGB range is Full Range (This is very important to get no wash out output).

From your screenshot, IMO you had set it over bright already, the gaming feel all gone. It seems too bright than usual. A lot games got way to tune and you shall set it the object in setting only slightly appear. This is the correct setting. If you can see the object in game setting crazy clear and not near blend to the background then it is over bright than suppose.

By the way, your previous monitor is Acer Predator XB271HU, this monitor is 27" QHD with 350 cd/m2 brightness, off course it is far brighter than ViewSonic VX3209-2K which only have 250 cd/m2 brightness.

May I know why you change from Acer Predator XB271HU to ViewSonic VX3209-2K. This looks like downgrade from every part.

• Acer Predator XB271HU is G-Sync with 144 Hz Native Refresh Rate where ViewSonic VX3209-2k no any Sync with 60 Hz Native Refresh Rate.
  
• Acer Predator XB271HU is 350 cd/m2 brightness where ViewSonic VX3209-2k only 250 cd/m2.
  
• Acer Predator XB271HU is 4ms GTG where ViewSonic VX3209-2k is 8ms GTG.
  
• The only win is ViewSonic VX3209-2k is 1.07B colors where Acer Predator XB271HU is 16.7M colors and also bigger 0.5"
  

ahh i dint know about the cd/m2, thanks for the info.maybe my eye got problem already, i dont feel its bright when its 100 on the brightness. 
yea i sold my X34A and back to xb271hu.this monitor mostly for work,but sometime play games  as well. my main still the xb271hu.

Oh I see.

100% brightness not enough bright!!! Oops, then I can't help.

maybe i keep on compare with the xb271hu. 

but yea not really important as i mostly game on the xb271hu.

Possible also. that is extra 100 cd/m2, surely big differences. Hehe

asked bfr... too bad, not selling in MY 

not yet or not at all... 

should be able to return to lzd within 7 days. nway, the color and pics is ok. no comment on that

Finally done calibrating my laptop screen color near identical to my ViewSonic monitor color. 

Very nice bro ...would get this instead of lg ultrawide 29"
Wonder if gtx1050 can get good fps on 2k resolution seems bit hard

After google around, I think GTX 1050 is equalvalent to GTX 960M, if yours is 4GB RAM edition, I think you still can play most the games ok. I not sure as hard to find benchmark on it. But if yours is 2 GB RAM edition then maybe more hardly.

I am using 6GB RAM edition of GTX 970M, so far can be said all my games still very playable. Off course I am not demand all games must be at 60fps, for me 30fps is playable already, 45 to 50fps is very good and no complain.

Below is my average fps (from steam counter) in 1440p in some games I just test on GTX 970m.
All games in maximum quality setting with 4x AA or below.

In summary, I get frame drop around 10 to 15 fps compare with 1080p.

• Doom - 35 to 42 fps
  
• Grim Dawn - 60fps
  
• Rise of the Tomb Raider - 25 to 30 fps
  
• Metal Gear Solid Phantom of Manage - 37fps to 44fps
  

Actually gtx 1050 is 50% better than gtx 960m in term of performance but lower than gtx 970m 

Finally done calibrating my laptop screen color near identical to my ViewSonic monitor color. 

hi, can ask what is your calibration settings?
