Well, it doesn't. When I'm not in-game, I like my brightness as low as possible, so I pull it down to 0%. This monitor kept pushing it back up slightly until I turned on auto-brightness.StrobeMaster wrote:Yes, this is confusing but not necessarily a bug. "Autobrightness on/off" just tells you what will happen when you go there. And changing the brightness setting should actually deactivate Autobrightness automatically.
Honestly, I barely managed to stuff it back into the box, I really can't unbox it again.StrobeMaster wrote:That is interesting. But I guess we shouldn't get our hopes up about LG updating the firmware. Eh, maybe they already did. Could you check the firmware version of your monitor? Anybody out there who sees a FW version > 3.04 in the service menu? (Have the monitor connected to a valid signal source. The service menu can be entered by keeping the ">" button (right-most of the 5 control buttons) pushed while powering on the monitor. The normal OSD menu is replaced by the service menu then and is not available until power-cycling the monitor).
But no, I don't expect any new firmware either. If it does come out, it will likely just be a few bug fixes and nothing major like being able to use DAS and 240 at the same time or to control strobe settings. If they could have pulled it off, they would have done it the first time around.
I don't know, does it? I mean, I know it's the same panel, but I wouldn't know if LG changed the coating. All I know is multiple reports about how this monitor has a lighter-than-normal coating. Here's an example:StrobeMaster wrote:Isn't the 2430T using the same panel, which would mean the same coating?

"The LG was a badass monitor in terms of image quality compared to other 144hz tn monitors and it had a very nice AG coating, which was not too aggressive. At the time I had the LG, I also had an old xl2411t and xl2420t and the LGs coating was noticably better than that of those 2 mentioned BenQs."
He's comparing them to older T BenQs. I don't know if the coating changed with the new models. They are the same panel though.
