Blur Busters Forums

Shameless plug. But warranted because I know many of you fans have been waiting ages for this. Lots of hairpulling from parts shortages hitting Innolux 240Hz IPS panels (same kinds of shortages that impacted chip manufacturing and supply chains), but finally a container ship have restocked Amazon on time for Black Friday at under 300 for XG2431 finally in stock today at Amazon USA:

Black Friday: Blur Busters Approved ViewSonic XG2431 Finally in Stock at Amazon

And yes, it supports one of the best Strobe Utility ever created by Blur Busters:



PureXP is ViewSonic's branding of motion blur reduction (like ULMB, ELMB, DyAc, VRB, Aim Stabiizer, etc).

For those unaware, these are the features of Blur Busters Approved 2.0 strobe tuning for motion blur reduction:

• Reduced strobe crosstalk for motion clarity closer to CRT motion clarity;
• Easy High Quality Pre-Tuned Strobe (60, 100, 120, 144, 240 Hz) via monitor menu!
• Retro Friendly Strobe (60 Hz) for consoles, TV, and emulators! (MAME, RetroArch, YouTube, TV, etc)
• Strobe any Hz in 0.001Hz increments. No preset refresh rate limitation!
• Strobe any video or television source, not just GPUs!
• Optional Strobe Utility support (see below);
• Optional Large Vertical Total support (via Custom Resolution Utility) for strobe crosstalk reductions;
• Optional Quick Frame Transport support (via Custom Resolution Utility) for low lag strobing.

The other threads have really rave reviews popping up recently:

I received mine and I have spent all afternoon and evening with it. I love it. It's an exceptional monitor. I'll share more specific impressions later after I test out more features and have time to write it all up.

Just received it yesterday! (like two days after it changed to status pending) I'm really enjoying it so far.

I'm very happy with my purchase and it was worth the wait/hassle IMO

Further impressions... I'm still loving this monitor. I can safely say that it is the best monitor I've ever owned. The motion quality is exceptional and very customizable. As others have reported, 60Hz up through about 120Hz is perceptually crosstalk free while using large vertical totals. Which is amazing. CRT motion-clarity without noticeable artifacts is finally here!

Ooops. TY. Edited thread title to indicate Amazon USA.

(They do ship to Europe, higher shipping price though)

How does this monitor fair against the BenQ XL2546K with DyAc+? I got the AW2521HF but not 100% happy with it and looking at my other options. The primary contenders are this XG2431, the XL2546K, or maybe the VG259QM.

Can strobe work 50Hz?

Can strobe work 50Hz?

Not for the XG2431 as its minimum strobe Hz is 59Hz. There is another Blur Busters tuned model (not Blur Busters Approved due to KSF phosphor) but supports Strobe Utility, which is the Eve Spectrum 4K144, which can strobe as low as 48 Hz.

So would the input lag on this be good at 60Hz compared to some 240Hz monitors that have high input lag (VG259QM)?

Wait, this monitor supports 60hz strobing now? Even on video game consoles?

EDIT: I'm stupid. I've missed the big thread about it. All this time, I only thought the XL2411P was the only monitor choice for 60hz single strobe, and I confused the XG2431 with the XG270.

Correct,
I convinced multiple manufacturers to support single-strobe 60Hz even with consoles.

Manufacturer #1 - www.blurbusters.com/strobe-utility-viewsonic (Blur Busters Approved 2.0)
Manufacturer #2 - www.blurbusters.com/strobe-utility-eve (not Blur Busters Approved 2.0 but supports Strobe Utility)
Manufacturer #3 - coming in 2022 (hopefully Blur Busters Approved 2.0)
