Benq xl2546

Post by Misha1337 » 01 Dec 2018, 12:40

My benq xl2546 resolution information is showing weird info.

Am running my monitor on 1080ti when ever I play csgo at any 4:3 resolution the resolution info shows am running at 1280*1024 @ 241 but am for example am running it at 1280*960@ 240hz.

How can I fix this and if there is something I worry about ?

What's important is that the monitor is correctly displaying resolution (and is not frameskipping).

Also, GPU scaling can often cause differences in what NVIDIA Control Panel says, versus what the monitor OSD says.

Don't worry about it, especially if using non-native resolutions, Large Vertical Totals or Custom Resolutions. Sometimes the monitor OSD doesn't correctly recognize non-VESA-standard signals.

Are you using GPU scaling or XL2546 scaling or are you using the XL2546's 1:1 pixel mapping feature?

On modern systems the scaling is virtually lagless, but I'm interested in your config settings.

Am using default settings for the monitor out of the box and on nvcp am using display scaling with full screen with override program settings box unchecked and on the monitor scaling on the osd am using full scaling.

What makes me worried that after a clean install of windows 10 (1809) the image quality started to be bad and edges aliasing start to be shimming which wasn't there before.

Tbh am noob at adjusting settings and troubleshooting things so idk if am I doing something wrong or I am having a faulty hardware.

Normal. All of the Benq monitors do this.
Unless the resolution is entered as a precise custom resolution with display scaling (long story), Usually 1280x720, 1280x960 and 1280x1024 all display the same thing in the monitor's OSD.

There was actually a problem with one of these low resolutions way back when using the ToastyX Pixel Clock Patcher for DVI; I think you had to use a command line switch to disable single link patching to avoid this bug. This was years ago and I don't remember this stuff anymore.
