Re: Overclocking VGA Input chips

Depends on what's causing the bottleneck. If the clock rate won't increase further, or if the ICs used can't handle the increased clock rate. If the ICs won't handle the higher clock rate, slightly increasing voltage may provide just enough extra headroom (I've been wanting to apply this concept to ...

Re: BenQ XL2411 major crosstalk and ghosting/corona

Benq monitors have aggressive overdrive to lower response time. If you are on V4 firmware (v3 might also work), you can enable blur reduction and then set AMA to high *after* (not before) enabling blur reduction. Gives about a 10% improvement (slightly lower overdrive amount). And use contrast of 4...

BenQ XL2411 major crosstalk and ghosting/corona

I've tried vertical tweaks (don't seem to help much) lowering contrast/gamma, adjusting persistence/brightness, strobe phase, etc; and I'm still left with terrible (2-3 frames) of corona/ghosting. Way worse than anywhere else I've seen, and doesn't seem to be fully explainable by benqs terrible over...

Re: Bad experience with Benq XL2420z and Benq customer servi

It's unlikely that multiple monitors have the exact same problem, and that that problem goes undetected so many times. It's probably a problem on your end, and perhaps the problem appears slightly different on each monitor due to manufacturing variance. You said the problem persists on multiple comp...

Re: Asus ROG Swift PG279Q

Thanks for drawing my attention to this.
I literally checked TFT a few days ago looking for their review of the new Swift. Must have been just a day or two early!

Re: 200Hz Display review/questions

I have a question for Falkentyne and/or Q83Ia7ta Would the problem we're having with the overclockable 1080p QNIX be explained by panel or scaler limitations? Is it possible to implement overdrive ourselves, or is that something that needs to be engineered prior? Lastly, do you think that pushing th...

Re: 200Hz Display review/questions

So then that leads to me to 1920x1080 @ 200hz? http://www.csgnetwork.com/videosignalcalc.html the bandwidth just seems very high compared lower bandwidths that were already grieving cables. The DVI cables that come with these overclockable 1080p monitors are quite thick and short. They're not reall...

Re: 200Hz Display review/questions

After splicing the power lines to the LCD panel, I re-measured the voltage at 144Hz and 240Hz. The measurements this time showed a much lesser disparity. I used my lab supply to ensure the voltage stayed at just under 5V, and I couldn't tell the difference when it was off or on, even though current ...

Re: 200Hz Display review/questions

the new power supply doesn't seem to help too much. I was going to test what refresh rate exactly the screen would go black at, and found that, for some reason, I was no longer getting artifacts over 240Hz! I got NO artifacts at all up to 256Hz So more powerfull 5A power supply helped to get rid of...

Re: 200Hz Display review/questions

Looks like the problem is probably panel voltage. And, the good news is, that might explain some of the weird gamma effects as well! @ 144Hz Panel Vcc = 4.75V @ 240Hz Panel Vcc = 2.7-2.8Vish (Fluctuates, which likely explains the randomness of the failures) Next step is to try and power the panel wi...
