Hello! Need your help about ZOWIE XL2546

Post by Zunraiz » 23 May 2019, 17:56

I just got my ZOWIE BY BENQ XL2546 240Hz monitor.. and I'm wondering why the hell everywhere it shows 239Hz - in windows/intel driver manager assist.. And also in your ufotest refresh rate it shows 240/240 down below but in the middle ~239.735 goes up to 239.8XX something and pixels skipping shows -1.. Gotta mention that I've hardware acceleration off in web browser settings and use web browser called "Brave"

Also when I put display scaling in nvidia settings + full-screen I can't launch my games at 4:3 resolutions.. It shows black bars and says "Monitor suggested resolution 1920x1080.." once I put GPU scaling it shows everything full-screen even using the small resolutions but I've heard GPU scaling adds a bit input lag compared to display scaling

and yes I updated drivers from Generic PnP to ZOWIE XL Display(2017driver which I found on zowie by benq's website) after I did it restarted my PC..

That's normal. Also happens sometimes with 60Hz, 120Hz and 144Hz monitors. It can show 59Hz, 119Hz and 143Hz. Not sure what causes this exactly, but Windows will sometimes round the displayed number downwards. If it's 59.94Hz (which is what many 60Hz monitors use), it will display 59 instead of 60.

Nothing to worry about.
