Has anyone attempted to overclock the XG2431? I tried but I only got to 241hz.

Impossible to get this monitor in Spain.
Can anyone tell me which Viewsonic monitors have PureXP+ technology in them? I see that some pages cheat with some models and the descriptions are not reliable.

Caveat: Please note that not all PureXP+ is not tested by Blur Busters, and thus not Blur Busters Approved.

Quality of PureXP+ can vary widely, with more ghosting especially with different panel technologies (e.g. VA panels and KSF-phosphor IPS panels)

Only XG270 (Blur Busters Approved 1.0) and XG2431 (Blur Busters Approved 2.0) does.

Remember enabling VRR or PureXP (or selecting certain profiles) will disable some picture adjustments. You can try turning FreeSync OFF in monitor, and turn GSYNC OFF in NVIDIA Control Panel, and select one of the custom profiles, to get access to more adjustments

If your problem is that the settings grays out randomly enables/disables erratically to no pattern, it may be automatic mode switching that is happening more often on one computer:
Remember that things like:

- Switching refresh rates
- Switching GSYNC on/off all the time (common problem: GSYNC=OFF in Windows, GSYNC=ON in games)
- Switching resolutions
- Switching ports (different port on GPU or different port on monitor)

Can activate a different picture settings profile on some monitors, which can confuse things. Different GPUs (e.g. AMD versus NVIDIA) can do more switching than usual.

To try to calm the settings-switching down:
- Always use the same GSYNC setting (on or off) in all apps (Windowed and fullscreen).
- Always use the same refresh rate in all apps
- Always use the same resolution in all apps
- Always use the same ToastyX setting in all apps (if you use QFT tricks)
- Don't keep switching multimonitor settings
- Don't keep switching ports on either GPU or monitor

You can start afresh by resetting your driver settings / reinstalling drivers / uninstalling ToastyX settings (reset-all.exe).

If you need more flexibility, you can also try modifying a custom profile and selecting that custom profile.

Most of the time it's not a problem as you should have less hassle, but hopefully this helps you narrow down a computer-specific problem because graphics drivers are sometimes capable of automatically changing a setting (e.g. GSYNC=ON) that automatically disables certain picture settings.
Chief, I just wanted to give you an update that everything works fine now and a HUGE thanks for all the help you provided for me :'). As expected, I was a giant idiot (who's surprised? :oops: ) and left the Windows HDR settings on, which disabled all the settings as I described before. Along the journey though, I learned much about monitors, so all is not lost, lol :?
This is a fantastic monitor and I can't recommend it enough.. still can't believe the effort and detail you put into these responses, and how accurate your help was. Thank you!

Since the XG2431 won't be hitting EU, will we be getting another Blur Busters approved monitor anytime soon, but coming to EU this time?

Hey Chief,

I’ve been trying to find console settings for this monitor on my Ps5. Am I able to use a Pc to modify my monitor for the custom profile set for Ps5 including colour contrast and preferable settings for 60Hz/FPS and 120hz/FPS gaming. Do you happen to know what settings are preferable for these two (60/120) modes while playing on my ps5?

Cheers/thanks!

Calibrating the factory EDID 1080p 59.94Hz or 60Hz setting on a PC, will automatically carry over to 1080p 60Hz on a PlayStation/Xbox.

Likewise for the factory EDID 1080p 119.88Hz or 120Hz setting on a PC, for the equivalent 120Hz on consoles.

Preferable settings for 60 Hz and 120 Hz are already factory-installed on the XG2431 already. The problem is panel lottery and temperature. I cannot control those.

So that's why beyond the preinstalled PureXP modes, that's where Strobe Utility is your responsibility... Much like how a DIY colorimeter can get better-than-factory-color... Metaphorically this is the strobe equivalent of DIY re-calibration.
