Hi. :)

-- Your "Strobe Utility" may void warranty of monitor!?? Why???? But the warranty refused by BenQ (and by other brands) is(are) very ABSURD. :? evil:

Therefore, I stay CRT monitor for next many years. ;)



-- The EVGA warranty allows videocard killed by overclock!?? :o But EVGA is unfair...

I'm worried with EVGA because EVGA may be harder and may keep the more wait for many RMA's due to OC.

2-year warranty for high-end or top-end videocard is only little or is BADLY expired = absurd, if the videocard damaged is abnormal such as VRAM issue for most videocards (NOT by overclock)...
I remember I was sad for my old XFX GeForce 6800 Ultra AGP died and on nov 09th, 2006 again Point of View GF 8800 GTS 640MB died on dec 27th, 2009 due to VRAM issue after 2-year warranty expired both videocards.

Regards. :)

The application is the one that doesn't have a warranty (it's because legal says I have to mention it to protect myself).

Did BENQ say it would void your warranty?

You can also tweak via BENQ Service Menu instead, too, as well.

There are also easy strobe backlights that are tweaked via monitor menus.

CRTs are good too! Maybe the new 4K 144Hz local-dimmed scanning-backlight monitors might catch your attention?

Some monitor vendors will check the activation status of the service menu (the firmware is able to set an internal flag on service menu activation.) Whether BenQ does this or not, I don't know.

On some TVs for example, accessing the service menu gives a warning:

"Warning! Access only for authorized service personnel! Unauthorized access will void guarantee of your TV."

Again, I don't know if and/or which monitor vendors use this policy. You'd have to ask BenQ, I'm afraid.

OOh! "...NO WARRANTY..." - not hardware as monitor but yes software. I apologize you. :)
