Benq XL2430T Settings

So you got rid of the cable errors and unlocked the service menu?

Alt tabbing is going to be slow when switching between display scaled resolutions or changing refresh rates (monitor has to reacquire a signal)

Hello, sry for the late reply, I haven't checked the forums for about a week..

I could solve the problem with Toasty, it works like a charm However, I played with the settings a bit and could reach the service menu and I came to some conclusions:

- with contrast 50, you are definitely losing more grey than you win with more white. Lowering it to around 40 makes greys better but adds a little yellowish tint to the top of the screen. I balanced it a bit with setting higher brightness...I still see it, but it's significantly better color reproduction for me.

- I have V4 firmware, but I can't see any addition what makes my monitor better.. (maybe premium AMA?)

Pretty sure those firmwares fix the displayport issues and black equalizer and gamer preset issues (but I'm still 100% sure that recalling gamer 1, 2 and 3 still recall the *low level* color calibrations for FPS1, FPS2 and RTS mode...(hint: if CYAN (standard mode) turns into TEAL (gamer presets 1-3) even if you SAVE standard mode INTO gamer 1/3, then that's exactly what it's doing).

FPS modes change cyan into teal and add reds to browns while messing up yellows (too muted) and RTS turns full channel blue into light blue (well it does on the Z monitors.....)

Using AMA on premium is better?

Can somebody post a good setting combination for monitor digital vibrance with nvidia digital vibrance? Now I am using only the hardware vibrance on 9 (10 is buggy as Falkentyne has written).

Hello,

I have a very serious problem since past week. My monitor screen flickers in Standard mode (with the mentioned settings above + VT1500), then reverts back to FPS1. I have to reset the driver all the time, then set it up with DisplayPilot again, same with VT tweak..

The strange thing is if I set everything right as mentioned and if it works fine in Standard mode, if I switch to Movie mode, I get screen flickering again (switching back to Standard solves it).

My setup:

1920x1080@120hz
Single Strobe ON

Black EQ: 0
Color Vibrance: 9
Low Blue Light: 0
Instant Mode: ON
Blur Reduction: ON
Intensity: 16
Area: 40
Picture Mode: Standard
Brightness: 70
Contrast: 40
Color Temperature: R98 G100 B99
Sharpness: 5
Gamma: 5

VT1500@Toasty:

Front porch: 48 pixels 3 lines
Sync width: 32 pixels 5 lines
Total: 2080pixels 1500lines
Sync polarity: + +


Thanks in advance!

Uninstall display pilot and set ddc/ci to off.

[svarc]

May I ask why display pilot causes the problem?

[Falkentyne]

I don't know why and I don't use it.
But uninstall and see if the problem is fixed. Display pilot is buggy.
XL2730Z users were having the monitor constantly reset to defaults if displaypilot was installed.
I can't help with it. I just use the OSD.

Hello guys. I've got XL2430T and i found one big trouble in csgo. Only the 1280x1024 (i played on this many years ago) not worked. Error message: Incorrect cable. DVI cable its ok, display pilot installed, configurated, single strobe on, and all settings done...but it's still not working. please help me a little bit, that is a huge problem

[Falkentyne]

Use the Displayport connector and uninstall the DVI patch and that error will go away.

if you want to use the DVI connector and still use the DVI pixel clock patcher, rename the clock patcher so it has a -DL at the end of the file name (before the .exe), however you will still have 'half resolution' errors with the renamed patcher. It may report the res as 640x1024 because of the single link DVI limits being patched into the lower dual link dvi range.

The incorrect cable error occurs when you use the DVI pixel clock patcher and the monitor is expecting a dual link DVI signal but is instead getting a single link signal (this is most common at 1920x1080@85hz if you create 85hz as a custom refresh rate). If you rename the patcher to -DL, 1920x1080@85hz will work correctly but you will get the 'half' resolution issues at 1280x720 @ 100hz and so on.
