Yup, it IS close to final performance. It's just gonna be garbage. Shame, as I like the design.
Damn I rooting for this to come to reality but I’m definitely having my doubts now – I was super excited to get this in February. SMH
if 144hz isnt enough for you and you dont make money playing games you should get a life

Just got a Gigabyte M27Q on sale over the holidays for $330… 1440p, 170Hz, .5ms response time, IPS, built in KVM
Pretty insane compared to what was available even just 1 year ago
Garbage
22 gb = 45 $ What's this joke ? more than 2 $ per gigabyte ?

Why would you want to back a shady kickstarter for a piece of tech when giant multibillionaries brand specialized in doing the same thing did not achieve the same thing in the same frame time?
Eve is just the classic case of "Why is nobody doing this? Can't be that difficult" just to find out that, yeah, it isn't that easy and they're not up to the task. What a surprise.
If EVE can't manufacture their own panels to make this product happen at this price point and needs to source panels from LG (yes, I know many companies source panels from LG and Samsung, but most of them aren't trying to compete directly with them in the same segments either), it should be obvious that it's not that LG, Samsung, et al. aren't bothering to try to develop a comparable product, which seems to be the only thing that EVE could possibly be banking on to make their product worthwhile. That, or EVE has some innovative proprietary technology that allows them to manufacture monitors much less expensively which the others don't have access to, and that clearly isn't the case either. It's clear that the technology behind the manufacturing of these displays isn't sufficiently developed to sustain this product at this price point – the cost to manufacture displays with these capabilities is just too high no matter who you are – and EVE is therefore even less equipped to bring this product to market than any manufacturer which is more vertically integrated. They're louder and market themselves to seem cooler than LG, but they're stuck working more on LG's timeline than their own.
We'll probably see LG and a few others bring a comparable product to market well before EVE launches theirs, or possibly around a similar time, at a comparable price, and with much less fanfare. Because for those other companies, this is simply what they do, and this is a logical iterative upgrade as technology marches on – and it's THEIR innovations driving the march, not EVE's. EVE shouldn't get credit for announcing that they'll DEFINITELY nail it! …as soon as LG's product which EVE relies on gets cheap enough to make improved products that LG would be launching anyway.
And… well, it's a safe bet that on LG's version, at least most of the buttons will probably work, at least most of the time.
Remember kids, investing is gambling.
i’ve never heard someone say ‘unfortunately’ that many times in just 13 minutes.
i have that same problem on my computer its not the monitor but i get lighting effects on my desktop and i duno how to desable it
i'll stick with known brands instead…

I wanted to pre-order the 4k monitor, but luckily my card blocked it.
I like how at 4:02 he just points and the pop up appears
Kickstarter = A way to give Communist China your "American Dream" ideas. It really is just a dream at this point to manufacture a new idea without someone else stepping in and just making the idea. It has to be something you can patent or something that is too much trouble for them to do at a scale they would want.
