Hello!
So I did a lot of digging, and overall just ran into many many statements that are contradict each other, so now I'm totally confused.
If I were to setup my XL2540 for the best responsive time/lowest latency, which settings should I use? should I use blur reduciton from the hidden menu aswell?
Also I saw someone talking about " Overdrive gain setting" which is hidden aswell and haven't been able to find it here's the topic, second answer:
viewtopic.php?t=3521

I really need some help figuring this out :cry:

Blur reduction adds a little latency. Not much though.

The overdrive setting has no bearing on input latency. It only affects pixel response time and thus affects ghosting during motion.

Thank you for your reply.
I'm interested in it though I couldn't find where to edit it.
So is it fine if I'm to use AMA Premium, and blur reduction ON ?

Use whatever AMA setting gives you the best image. It doesn't affect latency. You can test it here:

Blur reduction reduces motion blur at the cost of a small amount of latency. Most people are fine with it. I don't have numbers though about how much latency exactly it has.

Is it normal that I don't see any difference between high and premium? if that is the case should I just pick premium?
