xl2420z ghosting

Ask about motion blur reduction in gaming monitors. Includes ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur), NVIDIA LightBoost, ASUS ELMB, BenQ/Zowie DyAc, Turbo240, ToastyX Strobelight, etc.

Im using blur buster strobe utility and no matter the settings this ghosting is always visable.. I havent tried the settings AMA and instant mode on OSD.

IS there anything I can do to get rid of this?

Does all xl z benq monitors suffer from this?

The AMA setting is precisely what affects this issue.

You can't get rid of it, but you can change it so it looks different.

- AMA off: regular ghosting because the panel isn't fast enough to change colors.
- AMA high: inverse ghosting caused by overshooting. The panel tries to reach the color target much faster than normal, so it ends up failing to stop when it has to.
- AMA premium: lol, don't even try that. It's worse than AMA high. No benefit.
- Using Lighboost: a lot less overdrive artifacts, but worse colors, screwed up gamma, only 100Hz and 120Hz, minimun strobe is 1.4ms.
- AMA high after using Lightboost: different to normal AMA high. Better or worse depending on the situation. I use this in more or less 60% of the games I play.

Yes. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable. But this is the only monitor in the market that allows me to have this many refresh rates, all with blur reduction:

If only the Asus PG278Q were capable of this....
CPU: Intel Core i7 7700K @ 4.9GHz
GPU: Gainward Phoenix 1080 GLH
RAM: GSkill Ripjaws Z 3866MHz CL19
Motherboard: Gigabyte Gaming M5 Z270
Monitor: Asus PG278QR

Tried to change AMA settings, Off was NOT Good.
High is the best option for sure.

IF ONLY This ghosting didnt exist.. this monitor would be perfect :(

I don't notice this in games at least, thankfully.

My entire review of my XL2411Z + Other gaming monitors is a good thing to look at for you: http://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic ... 11z+review

Hope it helps! :D
