Yeah, Strobe Duty is the setting I'm looking for. I don't see it anywhere. Maybe Luckbad knows how to tweak it :mrgreen:

It's in the service menu. It's the same "Entry code" as on the older Z series monitors.

Power off the monitor, then hold button #4 for 5 seconds, then power it on while holding button #4.
That should unlock the service menu.

You unlocked the factory menu, which is usually holding down buttons 3 and 4 for five seconds, and then powering on.

Thanks. That did it. I tried adjusting it and this ghosting is still horrible. I can't believe these XL2720Z's are that much better. I'll try a different input/cable to see if that makes a difference.

If you're strobing, you can't let FPS drop below your refresh rate or it will look like total crap.

It's HDMI. DisplayPort saved the day! :) Scared me for a second there, lol.

So, HDMI @ 120Hz is not a good thing apparently? This monitor looks SICK now! :mrgreen:

This monitor can not single strobe at 60hz so do not use a refresh rate lower than 100hz.
If you bought this monitor for Dark Souls, you will only get double strobing at 60hz. There is no single strobe override for lower than 100hz.

Crosstalk can be reduced by changing the vertical total with custom resolutions from 1449/1510 to VT 1825, at 100hz and 120hz. Just like the XL2720z, except that was changing the VT from 1133/1144 to 1500.
