Re: [MSI GP76 laptop] : How shall I disable overdrive on my monitor ?

I'm back just to confirm that indeed, setting/clearing bit 4 at EC address 0x2E enables/disables display overdrive. However, it seems the value whose byte 4 should be set/cleared has to be read through an EC command named Get_Device, then its bit 4 has to be cleared/set and the value written at EC a...

Re: [MSI GP76 laptop] : How shall I disable overdrive on my monitor ?

Fortunately, I managed to find some more info ! Display overdrive on the MSI GP76 10UG seems to be configured through the embedded controller (EC). Activating/deactivating is a matter of setting/clearing bit 4 at EC address 0x2E (bit 0 being the least significant). On Linux, that could pose difficul...

I contacted MSI support about this, I hope they will be able to give me some info. They obviously have it...

[MSI GP76 laptop] : How shall I disable overdrive on my monitor ?

Dear forum readers, I'm the owner of an MSI GP76 10UG laptop, with a 144Hz-capable monitor. So everything is nice and all, except that when gaming @60Hz (yeah, please don't kill me) I notice strange artefacts. According to your overdrive test, it seems to be what you call a corona artefact . MSI has...
