Hey Chief. Could you tell me if the Viewsonic XG2431's sleep mode basically works like the "deep sleep" on/off setting from other Viewsonic monitors ? With deep sleep on, the monitor disconnects from Windows when you simply turn it off - whereas if you have deep sleep off, the monitor doesn't disconnect from Windows when you simply turn it off. I have a Viewsonic ELITE XG270QG that has the deep sleep on/off setting. I saw in the manual online for the XG2431 that this one has a sleep mode you can turn off. I'm guessing it's basically the same but labeled differently on this monitor.

Also, could you tell me if the XG2431 monitor is HDCP 2.2 compliant over its displayport port ? My understanding is that usually if the monitor has HDMI 2.0 ports, it'll also be HDCP 2.2 compliant at least if using the HDMI port (and an HDCP 2.2 compliant cable), and usually over displayport if it's DP 1.4. I was trying to find out more online... and apparently the XG2431 monitor has HDMI 2.0 ports but for displayport it has DP 1.2 or 1.1, so maybe it's only HDCP 2.2 compliant if using the monitor over HDMI ? or maybe it's still be HDCP 2.2 compliant over displayport too somehow ?

HDCP 2.2 compliance is important for me for 4k Netflix on PC basically even if this monitor is 1080p - since I'd have it connected to my PC along with a 4k display, and, last I checked this, all connected monitors had to be HDCP 2.2 compliant for the user to be able to watch 4k Netflix on the 4k display (otherwise you'd get a black screen or you'd have to disconnect the monitor that's not HDCP 2.2 compliant whenever you want to watch 4k Netflix on the PC).
so a bit of an update on this. I'm not sure where I saw that the Viewsonic XG2431 has a Displayport 1.2 or 1.1 port before... but well I looked more into this and actually looks like it's displayport 1.4 according to Viewsonic's full specifications for this monitor from their site if I'm reading them correctly.

I'm still not 100% sure that this monitor has HDCP 2.2, but then again my understanding is that usually the monitor is HDCP 2.2 compliant through its ports if it has HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.4. Plus I also have another 1080p monitor that has HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.4, and I can keep that one on/connected while watching 4k Netflix on the 4k monitor i got connected (while I also have others monitors that have HDMI 1.4 and/or DP 1.2 - and if I have those connected, I either get a black screen or a 1080p Netflix stream instead of 4k on the connected 4k display). I guess I'll find out for sure soon with this Viewsonic XG2431.

I went ahead and bought the monitor a few hours ago. I might keep it even if it somehow didn't have HDCP 2.2. The monitor's intended purpose I guess is more towards gaming and image clarity to be fair... and seems to have some really good strobing options and features that other monitors don't have.

Just got mine, is anyone else finding it too dark with strobing enabled? I'm using PureXP Normal with Black Stabilization on 80 and contrast 70 and it still feels dark.

Strobing quality is excellent by the way, way better than any other monitor I've used.
how is the performance unstrobed. I heard the 23.8 240hz new panels have good performance unstrobed.

Can the HDMI ports on the ViewSonic do 1080p @ 180Hz? If not, maybe 540p @ 180Hz?

Even if DisplayPort is required, I'm curious about recommended settings for 180Hz (e.g. situations like 2:1 BFI for 60Hz content with less monitor flicker).

Damn that's impressive af. Might have to try that out on my own.

I'm assuming strobing gets easier at lower FPS b/c we have more time to insert a black frame.

Chief commented on my other thread and said, "The panel vendor's panel (Innolux 23.8" 1ms 240Hz IPS LCD) panels are also VERY good even without strobing. I daresay slightly better than 25" panels."

So without strobing you're still getting a panel that's better that anything else out there.

I like what I hear. Also, other than backlight bleed/dead pixels. Anything else I should check for on a new monitor?

I also bought it from Amazon.com, I live in Italy, so I hope it has no dead pixels, I have no idea how much the return costs could be, it will be like winning the lottery I guess.
Mine arrived with no dead pixels, if that makes you feel any better.

How's the uniformity, back light bleed?

It's $30 off ($299.99) right now on Amazon...
This is unbelievable how cheap tech is in the US...
EU price will be close to 500 euros ~566$ :evil:

Can anyone compare this to XL2456K?
Which is ultimately better?

In e-sports of course and FPS in general.
