Question 1

Difference between this and the VG278H?

Accepted Answer

VG278H is an older version of VG278HE. The difference between VG278H and VG278HE is VG278H built in with emitter and come with nvidia 3D vision 2 glass while VG278HE only come with the monitor. So pretty much VG278H come with the whole set so you don't have buy anything extra. But VG278H has only 120Hz refresh rate while VG278HE has 144Hz refresh rate. I do not recommend you get VG278H because it has very bad reputation with bad built in emitter so your glass keep get disconnect while you playing games in 3D. Just get VG278HE and buy one set of nvidia glass + emitter seperately. Not only VG278HE has 144Hz refresh rate, it's also newer than VG278H which mean VG278HE has more improvement than VG278H. By the way there is also a newer version of VG278HE which is VG278HR. VG278HR also built in with emitter and come with nvidia vision 2 glass but it has 144HZ refresh rate. I don't know if VG278HR has the same problem with bad built in emitter that VG278H has or not. But either way there is no reason to get VG78H since you have the choice between VG278HE or VG278HR. So this is the order from the newest to oldest: VG278HR(144HZ) > VG278HE (144Hz) > VG278H (120Hz).

Question 2

Do you have to enable to 144hz or does it switch on its own?

Accepted Answer

You need to manually set your Window's output to 144hz, this is NOT automatic. You do this by: Right-Click on empty space on Desktop -->  Screen resolution --> Advanced Settings -->Monitor Tab --> Drop down for 'Refresh Rate' --> Set to 144hz. Apply

Question 4

Would these glasses (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SSG-5150GB-3D-Active-Glasses/dp/B00INO6JX2/ref=cm_cd_f_pb_t) work on this?
