Blur Reduction & Strobe Utility and windows 10

Post by shaca » 08 Jul 2016, 02:43

hello guys

i have a xl2411z and i created a custom resolution in windows 10 but my Blur Reduction Strobe Utility open but nothing happens when i move the persistance option, which makes my screen very bright :P
this worked well for my in windows 7 so i guess that it is a problem with windows 10...any help that you can give?

tnks

It's in my forum post somewhere on the next page or after with VT tweaks, AMA, etc.

Go to the paragraph on entering the service menu on XL2411Z. it's self explanatory. Can't explain it any easier than what I did. sorry.

i read your post and i just cant do it...ill wait for a easy tool for windows 10 to be released i guess.
i managed to get into the service menu and i change the value there but i dont see any diference.
in windows my monitor is just too bright, it even hurts my eyes...i guess ill have to go back to win7 or wait for a tool for win10.
tnks anyway mate

If the monitor hurts your eyes, it means the BRIGHTNESS is set to "100" with blur reduction off. The brightness should not be set higher than 30 if blur reduction is "off".

Single Strobe should also in general be left on, unless you NEVER intend to use a refresh rate lower than 100hz. Custom resolutions with custom VT's lower than 100hz require SS to be on for strobing to work correctly in sync.

With blur reduction ON, Brightness should be set to 100, then you change "Strobe Duty" to reduce brightness (and increase blur reduction effect) or lower strobe duty to increase brightness (but less blur reduction).

Please remember the Windows strobe utility is just a FRONT END for the service menu.
The windows utility does the following:
1) Forces single strobe=ON when any slider (Phase/duty) is changed automatically.
2) checkbox enables or disables Single Strobe On/Off.
3) Strobe Phase is limited to =047 so you won't make the backlight shut off when VT tweak is in use.

Windows utility is NOT designed to be used if VT tweak is not active.
persistence values shown in the windows utility are based on VT tweak being active (=0.167ms persistence values. VT tweaks force the monitor to use 60hz persistence values. persistence values are equal to the "refresh rate persistence divided by 100". Usually at 60hz (the REAL 60hz refresh rate), persistence is 0.167 because 60hz has 16.7ms frame time /lag. 16.7 divided by 100 is 0.167. Each point of strobe duty will increase persistence by 0.167.

At higher refresh rates, when you use a VT tweak, the monitor "reverts" to 60hz persistence values. Why? I don't know why. It just does. I suspect it does this as a failsafe when it can't identify the Vertical Total value (usually each refresh rate has a "default" VT that is assigned to it. e.g. 100hz is VT 1133. 1200hz is 1144. The "VT Tweaks" reduce "Strobe crosstalk" by increasing the vertical blanking interval. To the scaler, this increases the INTERNAL vertical screen size from "1080p" to "1440p" with the physical active screen pixels still being 1080.

I'm really sorry if you can't understand all of this. It took me a very long time to figure this all out, and this is from a user perspective explanation. I don't know INTERNALLY exactly what the hardware is doing as I am not an engineer or a programmer. I can only see the the internal scaler resolution when a VT 1497-VT 1502 tweak is active, shows "1280x1440".

mate, ur amazing and i rly apreciate the time u spend replying to me.
it not ur fault, its mine, you do great posts on this forum and i rly ty.
im gona tell you what i did on windows 7, and if is a easy way to do it in w10 ill do as u say :)

at windows 7 i install my nvidia driver, after that i patch with nvlddmkm-patcher, then i use CRU to creat a custom VT.
after that i install blurbuster util and set it up to persistence 1.0 and crosstalk all way to the left.
at windows 10 i did every step until the blurbuster util...
