It will still take some time, as we're redesigning the Blur Busters website first [!], keep tuned.
You can get Strobe Utility to work by:

1. Downgrade your monitor INF file to one that says "BENX XL2411T" instead of "Zowie XL Series" in Device Manager.
2. Run Strobe Utility in Administrator mode.

You can also hand-edit a Monitor INF file to say a different name in Device Manager, in order to force Strobe Utility to work again. (Just make sure you have the full model name, "XL2411T", somewhere in the string, in order for Strobe Utility to detect your monitor properly)

Alternatively, adjust using the Service Menu instead:

Alright will use the driver rename trick thanks. I renamed my Zowie XL2411 to BenQ XL2411Z after disabling driver signature enforcement, but now it tells me i have firmware V1 when i'm running firmware V6, what to do?

Never mind i was actually able to change the settings even tho it told me i didn't have the right firmware. Thanks for the tip !!

Hello Chief, im a fellow sufferer of the "Zowie XL Series" problem, and im obviously not as technical as the OP. I've been searching for how to downgrade your INF File on google and messed around abit on my PC, with no luck at all (properly just overseeing something).
I would be more than happy if you could explain to me step by step how to do so - I really think that this program would be a lovely addition to my gaming set-up .

Edit1: Hopefully it's not too much of a set back for you to help me. Your effort will be appreciated.

Edit2: 10 minutes after posting this i found out how to properly do it, for you guys that are struggling to find out do as following.

1. Download this driver > https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B07LFf ... ZRQXc/view

2. Un-zip files to where you find fit.

3. Go to your device manager and delete your current "Zowie XL Series" driver.

4. Go to your newly downloaded "XL2411Z WIN10 WHQL driver" folder > click once on the "XL2411Z" (Installationinformation" then right click and "install"

5. Voila! You now downgraded so it displays as "XL2411Z" in drivers.


My recommendations Chief would be to pin this or make a new thread on it, so newly arrived people can find a "fix" easily.

I have tried everything and my driver still shows up as "ZOWIE XL LCD(Digital)".What can I do?

It work for me if i have disabled intenet connection but as soon as i turn internet connection back, the monitor in device manager switch name back to ZOWIE XL LCD (Digital) again... :/ So annoying

Good news.

I've got Strobe Utility updated already to support Zowie.

Next Step: Windows hates unsigned executables. The .EXE file needs to be digitally signed with a Blur Busters certificate! Blur Busters now needs a new Authenticode signing certificate (the old one is now expired) -- and that's a lot more involved, since a move later, I need to provide proof of business & location. This takes time and money.

ETA: Springtime 2017 for new version of Strobe Utility

Can't you just use unsigned for the moment or is that bad or something?

Guys i hat same problem with v4 and i menage to get the Utility work only by this way (try it so much more)
I just did prohibition on windows to update the driver i think this is not problem only when we use the Utility when we not turn it back I Hope will work for u too Uninstall this Monitor
Re: "ZOWIE" monitor and he will become Benq again. but if the drivers update is online it will update it back on.
