I just recently purchased a VG248QE and was attempting to use Toastys lightboost method for 2d. I have a GTX 770 by the way.
Anyways, once I install the refresh rates and put the exe in start up and restart, when I get back to desktop my my brightness is quite dark and everything has a reddish tint to it. If I access my OSD it will not let me change anything except the Lightboost brightness which is defaulted at 100% and the OSD brightness is at 100% as well however I cannot change it. It also says "3D-Mode" in the top right of the OSD.
Is this just how it has to look to have lightboost or is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance for any help!

The purple tinting on the VG248QE can be adjusted somewhat by recalibration.Xaven wrote:Is this just how it has to look to have lightboost or is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance for any help!
However, it's come to a point where there's now several options on the market with much better LightBoost / strobed quality (e.g. EIZO FG2421, or the ULMB of G-SYNC or G-SYNC upgrade, or several 27" models), if you don't mind paying extra. ASUS VG248QE is the most popular LightBoost monitor, since it is cheaper than the others. However, it is not the best quality when it comes to LightBoost.

Re: VG248QE Lightboost Problems
Ah ok thanks for the advice. I purchased this monitor because I was lead to believe it was one of the only ones that was able to have the DIY G-Sync kit added to it. I am ordering my kit today, do you think that would help it sustain lightboost? Also is the 27 inch version of this monitor compatible with G-Sync kit?

G-SYNC includes ULMB, which is the "sequel" to LightBoost 2D.Xaven wrote:Ah ok thanks for the advice.

It will greatly improve the colors, although it will not improve brightness.
