But the Zowie XL2730 and BenQ XL2730Z are the same panel right? I know from a friend with the XL2730 that it even supports freesync even though that's not advertised anywhere. So there's a V002 firmware for the BenQ XL2730Z and a V005 for the Zowie XL2730Z. Pretty sure you could cross flash them. Bu...

Monitor returned from RMA with firmware V002. Which is kinda odd since I requested the latest version which as far as I can tell is V005. But at least the AMA + Freesync works now.
Sorry, Falkentyne, I won't be able to try to dump the firmware.

Interesting, I'll let you know what firmware I get when it returns.

As I wrote in my edit: Actually BenQ HQ decided to flash the monitor now for free after all. It seems like the people in the headquarter actually know how to do customer service in contrast to some of the representatives that I had contact with. But then again some EU countries don't have much of a ...

There is no V005 firmware for the XL2730Z. I guarantee you there is. I saw it with my own eyes in the Zowie XL2730Z of my friend which is only 1-2 months old. If you have linux, you can try (at no risk) to see if it can read and back up your existing firmware. The instructions on page 23 of the Lin...

The only thing you need is a V002 firmware (either official, or as a dump from another person's XL2730Z) Are you sure this would work with a XL2730Z? I'm asking because the linux flash instructions only mention MSTAR scalers and not REALTEK ones which the XL2730Z has. Also I haven't found anyone wh...

There is a Linux mechanism for upgrading firmwares so it's possible to do it on your own, if you get a copy of the V002 firmware. But I'd need a special hardware device to connect to the monitor, which as far as I read costs about as much, right? To be honest, I find it really odd that BenQ is not ...

Hey, I bought a very early model of the XL2730Z with firmware V001. I only recently learnt that there's a bug in the firmware which prevents me from using AMA while freesync is active. Does anyone know a trick how to make this work without a firmware upgrade? I'm out of the 2 year warranty by 2 mont...
