Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

Nevermind.

I changed to DVI-cable and I'm now able to hit 120Hz with original settings and VT1502. I changed to 119Hz just to be on the safe side though.

Seems that DisplayPort isnt the best way to use this monitor. DVI is.

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

Those settings are always default. Don't change those from default. They usually default (for 1920x1080 or 1440x1080 or another 1080p resolution) to front porch 88,4 sync width 44,5 and horizontal total 2200. Different values, like front porch 48/3, sync width 32,5 and HT 2080, is used when you are...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

The max VT possible is 1502. Some custom refresh rates may show issues, depending on what you use, so most of the time, a value of 1498 to 1502 will work. 85 hz refresh rate (on mine) requires 1501. 1502, 1500, 1499 and 1498 all stutter, while 1501 is flawless. At 120hz, 1500 is flawless while 1502...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

Flashing with Nvidia card - done No problems occured. BUT, DVI port still in the same condition as before. It is like the port itself is not active or something. Since I am able to flash the thing using that port, and can actually get picture from the port (although it is only 60hz stupid picture),...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

Something weird happened. I have updated my firmware to V4, thanks to Falkentyne's guide on page 23. Everything went pretty smoothly and I actually checked the firmware too afterwards to see if it actually happened (couldn't believe at first :P) http://i.imgur.com/2VcM9z1.png As you can see here, V...

Re: Firmware upgrade using Linux tool, requires no hardware

You may also need this command. Sometimes the USB packages won't download then the i2c commands won't work: "sudo apt-get install libusb-dev" (after the libpci.dev) I only needed that command when i installed the wrong version of Flashrom. You need to add @1846 after flashrom like this svn co svn:/...

Re: BENQ XL2720Z 27" of goodness :) [and firmware bug]

Short story, I have 3 Asus VG248 3D displays that a friend is letting me hold for a couple months until they move that I was using. I found this site after self-educating myself on the benefits of the 120/144Hz, I used the strobe light utility on them and was blown away watching that alien just bec...
