VG248QE Multiple Lightboost resolutions?

Post by bluebamboo » 03 Dec 2014, 17:06

Hey guys, was trying to figure out how to do this myself but it didn't really pan out...

Basically, I'd like to have two separate resolutions that both have LightBoost enabled. The idea is that I should be able to do general computer stuff in 16:9 1080p, and then launch my games at 4:3 and still retain the motion blur reduction.

In other words, I have an Asus VG248QE, and I'd like to have this:
  • 1920x1080 @ 120Hz + LightBoost 20% on the desktop (for general computer use, internet, etc).
  • 1440x1080 @ 120Hz + LightBoost 20% for some games (Yes, I play Counter-Strike a lot :) )
Is this possible? How would I do this? From what I understand this would involve creating custom resolutions using CRU, but what exactly do I enter? I don't see how to enable LightBoost in it.

Right now, I either have to put my desktop at 16:9 LightBoost, and then when I launch my games the monitor goes "ding" and turns off LightBoost (which is also a pain as it adds delays to alt-tabbing), or I have my desktop at 4:3 which I don't want.

Any help would be greatly appreciated <3

For 1440x1080, you need to make a custom detailed resolution with 1149 vertical total.
Then you just switch to 120hz on the desktop and then select the resolution in the game.

As far as I know, if you run a directX 9 game, the established and standard resolutions in CRU get picked up by the game and used as as a resolution signal sent to the monitor. DirectX 10 games completely ignore standard and established resolutions in CRU and will only use the detailed resolutions.

1138 VT=100 hz lightboost
1143 VT=110 hz lightboost
1149 VT=120 hz lightboost.
