Replacement for xl2411z

Post by munchflo » 13 Apr 2015, 16:54

Hi,
Im looking for a replacement for my xl2411z monitor.
I like the monitor for the most part, but what really annoys me is the ghosting.
I play a lot of CSGO and first I thought its just my imagination but especially on dust2 whenever i do a fast motion with my mouse I can see a shadow behind enemy models on the sandy background.
Ive tried basicly every option I could find to reduce the ghosting:
- updated to v2 firmware
- tried every possible persistence and crosstalk setting (with the strobe utitlity)
- tried ulmb on/off, ama off, high, premium, instant mode on/off
- tried vt 1350, tried vt 1502

But whatever I do I get ghosting. I basicly see objects 3 times instead of once. once at 100%brightness, another at maybe at 50% and one inverted image at maybe -50% brightness. (UFO ghosting test, ama high, 120hz, ulmb on).

Well I looked around the forum and I found some pictures and it looks like that ghosting is pretty normal for this monitor, sooooo Im looking for a replacement. (or a magical fix :D)

I was wondering if anyone knows a gaming monitor that has REALLY low ghosting.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions :D

Yeah the motion blur reduction thing designed by benq, the alternative to the lightboost hack, thats what i meant.
I read that there are some asus models that have verry little ghosting (only one faint shadow behind the original object and not 2 like the benq), but i wanted to which one is the best

Yea, it's pretty shit on the benq monitors. I know it's not a fix but if you do ever get a Gsync monitor the GSync module in the XL2420G fixes almost all of the ghosting problems. But look at http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/ for acer and asus 120hz+ monitors and check the pixel response specs.

Why do benq suck at Ghosting? I have no idea.

What firmware are you guys using? V2 was sort of bad.

It's much better on version 4 firmware.
MUCH better than Lightboost.

I have the XL2720Z and an Asus VG248QE. The Asus lightboost mode blew away both the Benq's lightboost mode and benq's blur reduction mode (yes I could get the Benq to look decent in lightboost but at the expense of translucent ghosting from lowering the contrast). When I updated to V4 firmware, it turned my 2720Z into a brand new screen. All of the AMA settings were recalibrated and improved, and using the hidden AMA high setting with contrast 0 makes it better than lightboost (at the expense of a washed out screen).

You could try the acer gsync to see if its better, its a vey good monitor too, but I think it will be the same.
