NEWCOMERS: Make "BENQ Blur Reduction" better than lightboost

Post by Chief Blur Buster » 19 Mar 2014, 14:54

Hello newcomers!
This is a sticky thread to quickly answer common questions about V2 firmware.
There has been a fair bit of buzz with BENQ having recently released a V2 firmware update for XL2411Z, XL2420Z, and XL2720Z.
BENQ released V2 firmware at gaming.benq.com/downloads

"BENQ Blur Reduction" is now better than most other strobe backlights (LightBoost) if you are using V2 firmware

What is a Motion Blur Reducing Strobe Backlight good for?
... It produces CRT-quality motion, with zero motion blur.
... 60Hz vs 120Hz vs LightBoost -- www.blurbusters.com/faq/60vs120vslb
... Testimonials of LightBoost -- www.blurbusters.com/lightboost/testimonials
... Media Coverage on LightBoost -- www.blurbusters.com/lightboost/media
However, LightBoost can have poor color quality, and newer tech (such as ULMB and BENQ Blur Reduction) is better

BENQ Blur Reduction is BENQ's brand name version of their LightBoost-like equivalent.
BENQ Blur Reduction is available in:
... BENQ XL2411Z Version 2
... BENQ XL2420Z Version 2
... BENQ XL2720Z Version 2

New Blur Busters Strobe Utility (a BENQ authorized 3rd party utility); which allows BENQ Blur Reduction in Z-Series to perform better than past LightBoost monitors.
... www.blurbusters.com/strobe-utility/
... Make it brighter than LightBoost
... Make it clearer than LightBoost
... Adjust for less input lag versus less ghosting tradeoff (Earlier Strobe Phase).

Strobe Utility requires V2 Firmware to be installed on your Z-Series
.... Instructions to install V2 Firmware on your BENQ XL2411Z / XL2420Z / XL2720Z
.... You can send your monitor into BENQ America to upgrade your Z-Series monitor to Version 2 firmware necessary for Blur Busters Strobe Utility compatibility, if you don't want to do the upgrade yourself.

If you haven't bought BENQ Z-Series, you can get one with V2 Firmware preinstalled.
