NEC PA311D review: modern IPS monitor, low glow and great uniformity

Image
I am a professional software developer, who also a gamer. I want a monitor which just does a job of displaying images correctly - I also have background in graphics programming so I have a keen eye. But for some reason it was really hard to get one recently. 10 years ago, I had a Dell Ultrasharp monitor which had no issues whatsoever.

Then I wondered if there any way to make EVGA GeForce 1080 TI SC2 any quieter - it has a decent cooling solution, but still the loudest component on full load. I was told that "to make such powerful GPU quiet, you have to water cool". Surely, water cooling either by custom loop or by AIO can be done. But then I wondered - if 2x120mm radiator seems to be enough to run 1080 ti quiet & cool, why such radiator can't be mounted on card directly, akin to CPU cooler? There seem to be enough space. And voila - apparently there is such a thing - aftermarket GPU air cooler. Specifically "Morpheus II" by Raijintek . Cost - about the same as 240mm radiator, but without associated costs (and noise) of extra plumbing & pumping. Heat sink have arrived and I've mounted 2x120mm  SilentWings 3 fans from beQuiet  on it. These fans I consider the best ...
