Great! Does the crosstalk adjustement also mask the overdrive artifacts (coronas, etc)? That's the other thing that bothers me, apart from the double image of the V1 firmware.

My MSTAR unit was sent on Monday. Two days have passed and it's still "shipping to warehouse". I'm getting impatient :lol: . How much time was it for you? I hope those "7-12 days" are for the complete process, and not only shipment from the warehouse to my country.

About the artifact I didn't have the time to test it.

As for the shipping, the unit was ordered by the end of January and I just received the unit last week. I guess the vendor was celebrating the new chinese year a bit harder than other vendor (he shipped the item on February 28th..) :) The one I have ordered was on aliexpress and is blue and seems to only work with the DVI (don't know why).

We found that this one works too (LogicElite, you used the DVI connection method, I believe). BENQ currently uses the same one as this MSTAR ISP from cart100 (the one in the V2 firmware upgrade HOWTO), and that is an official MSTAR unit, so I feel more comfortable recommending that specific one.

Would purchase a unit in Germany. Is it still for sale by someone? Otherwise I'll buy from cart100 :)

As far as I know -- kuschluk hasn't finished upgrading yet (I don't think). So when he's done with his V2 upgrade, I'm sure he still has it available for sale.

chief this tool is the same ?
The aliexpress tool was what LogicElite used, and it works:
-- If you upgrade your monitor in Standby Mode
-- Configure Service Menu, "DVI HPD" to "On"
-- Use DVI instead of VGA

There was problems using VGA on this, but it worked via DVI.
