Blur Busters Strobe Utility app is now available for download!
http://www.blurbusters.com/strobe-utility/
It allows you to turn BENQ Blur Reduction from "worse than LightBoost" into "better than LightBoost".

I've added new ASUS and BENQ menus in the top menubar of Blur Busters.
(Worked a very long weekend, all work and no play.)

Will you also provide a link for people in Europe? It looks like for me the BenQ Germany Store does'nt even sell Monitors they all link to various other Stores, just asking if there will be something for people in Germany provided here or do i need to ask every Seller which firmware they have?

I will find out -- keep tuned. It may be a few days before I gain some information for European users.

Question: does the motion blur reduction work at less than 60Hz (1 strobe per Hz)?
I know that it would flicker a lot, but it can be interesting for 30fps games, for example :lol: .

I haven't yet dared to test sub-60Hz situations :|
As it stands, 60Hz strobing is there only as a bonus (e.g. emulator use), even though it feels more flickery than a 50Hz PAL CRT.
EDIT: It strobes all the way down to 50Hz, but I wouldn't recommend it. ;)

It has now been a week so wanted to ask again will there be any news for Europeans in the near future?

Is it possible to find out is it V1 from V2 just from the box? Like product code, batch or something
