Re: XL2730Z Screen blacks out periodically

I'm now pretty pissed with BENQ quality control. Replacement monitor works as intended WITH A DEAD PIXEL, and DARK SPOT AROUND PIXEL. WTF BENQ?

So I guess it's not lightning but ****ing ridiculous nonetheless. I'm sick of this ****.

Re: XL2730Z Screen blacks out periodically

1) Are the "modes" such as FPS and Standard just presets of different OSD settings (like brightness, contrast, gamma, instant mode, etc...)? [My testing would suggest so, unless something else is happening under the hood].

2) Also, you mentioned in another post that setting the contrast to 0 on the ...

Re: XL2730Z Screen blacks out periodically

According to Mr. F.., The V4 firmware only comes preloaded onto the XL2720Z if ordered directly from BENQ and then requested by calling BENQ. I personally called BENQ to place the order and the representative wasn't confident about his "request" for V4 making a difference and that the monitor should ...

Re: XL2730Z Screen blacks out periodically

Yes I did and I even changed video cards, so the issue is narrowed down to the monitor itself. I'm tempted to just RMA the XL2730Z and downgrade to the XL2720Z at this point, because I'm afraid the next one might perform the same way with the dimmed screen flashing on and off. Is there any real ...

Re: XL2730Z Screen blacks out periodically

Thanks Falkentyne,

Well, I've completed your task, and unfortunately the screen still dims using DVI or DisplayPort, while trying multiple versions of CCC. I am so confused.

Would you RMA the monitor?

XL2730Z Screen blacks out periodically

Hey there,

I just got the BENQ XL2730Z and it is quite a beast. I am using an R9 290x. Unfortunately, I've had a fair many problems with this monitor; the issues I'm having while Freesync is enabled may have to do with AMD's beta Freesync driver. However, I have run into issues with overly ...

Progress on Strobe Utility for XL2730Z?

Hey there,

I was wondering if getting the strobe utility to work for the XL2730Z was a current priority or if it's even thought to be possible?

I don't have my XL2730Z yet, so I can't test anything. If the strobe utility won't work, I'd almost rather cancel the order and go with the XL2720Z ...
