BenQ UNIVERSAL 144Hz->220Hz OVERCLOCK for 1080p 144 Hz

Talk about overclocking displays at a higher refresh rate. This includes homebrew, 165Hz, QNIX, Catleap, Overlord Tempest, SEIKI displays, certain HDTVs, and other overclockable displays.

Hello HZ enthusiasts, I`m struggling with my XL2411P very much as of now, I can`t get past the Out of Range message and I have tried all the methods. AntiOOR says 0xCC = 2 and 0xDC = 21 . I couldn`t find Display application - 0xDC in softMCCS for some reason.

Im running on RX580, tried 180hz 200hz and 220hz with various timings: https://gyazo.com/656dbe32f0a32f7786e75046ffcda7c3
I have the same problem with my XL2411P. Guess we just have the wrong monitor or monitor software, although some people actually managed to get it to work on this monitor. I have 0xDC = 11 for my value , and I use a nvidia 1650 super. What’s your cpu? Just curious if it might be relayed to the problem..
When I tried with my XL2731 it gave me the same symptoms yours did, couldn’t get past the Out of Range. And I was using the same gpu 1650 Super that was in my brothers PC. So I’m starting to think it’s the gpu. I’m upgrading my pc so when I’m finished I’ll try it with my 970 and see if I can make it work.
Did you manage to solve this - I can't get past 164hz - SoftMCCS ist not downloadable anymore.

Did the august patch/software thing that would make this easier on a single display setup release?
edit: it looked alot harder than it was, you simply make a custom res while having installed & ran the OOB
edit2 08.11: does 200 and 210 without issues (tested frameskipping) but its permanently black on 220hz.
(2411z DVI w original firmware, bought 2016/7)
Extremely bright sadly

It's a function of limited voltage per refresh cycle to LCD GtG, so the pixels can't be pushed closer to black as easily, and gamma is screwed.

You can fix gamma via NVIDIA Control Panel to adjust the gamma curve, to make it look much more decent.

Blacks will still always be somewhat brighter than native Hz, since black requires maximum pixel voltage, and more refresh cycles per second leads to less voltage reaching per pixel per refresh cycle, so you get more and more washed out the more you overclocked.

Yeah makes that makes sense! Changing gamma and adding a bit of vibrance to deal with it being quite washed out worked quite well!

Also a quick question, do you know what causes purple artifacts? (rarely happens around the right side of say a model in a game) I didn't see it before yesterday and it seems to be a bit more prevalent on 210 vs 200, is it a limitation of me running DVI? Its very faint and usually only shows up a single spot, I also noticed some letters being a bit funky when on Discord which was interesting as well. Kinda reminiscent of a dying GPU but like almost unnoticeable. I also just found out my monitor reset some of the settings on it when I turned it on/off, so it could be because of me having AMA on high etc.

edit: i wondered why my screen got darker a few days ago when going out of a game and now i figured out why... for some reason blur reduction has been enabled on my monitor so ive ran 200hz w blur reduction on ahaha, no wonder the ufo test has looked so damn good!
idk what the risk of doing this is (i saw a warning for 2720 v2 firmware users), but it seems to work relatively well, could be why i had artifacts?

Hello Folks! I changed gpu on my XL2411 OCed to 200Hz on DVI-D and i have ordered the " CLUB 3D CAC 1010 DP to DVI-D Active Adapter" , and since im feeling really great with my 2411 oi don't wanna switch to new monitor. Does someone have experienced OC attempts with this kind of actapter plugged in? It says it support up to 330 MHz but i was wondering if it could be pumped up more to achieve some overclock.
Thanks to who gonna help me and future adapter user!
If this thing could be overclocked it is a very future proof thing for every person who wanna upgrade his gpu but is afraid to buy the adapter instead of changing monitor!

ok??

Did anyone found solution for overclocking xl2411p and stuck on 150hz ?

Follow this advice:

Try turning off as much XL2411P processing behaviors. Factory Reset, then configure:

i tried that in a first place, nothing!
Do i need to have 1.4 DP or is 1.2 good?

Probably a weird function of pixel response starting to behave slightly differently on different color channels -- whether an overdrive glitch per color channel -- or a weird LCD inversion behavior.

Viewing www.testufo.com/inversion on a BenQ TN panel often shows green tints and purple tints.

This is because the LCD voltage inversion algorithm works at the subpixel level, and chessboarding the subpixels means you've got either a brighter R-B on one pixel but a G in the spatially across pixels.

In certain types of motion and glitches, you may see a tint bias towards green or purple, and usually I would say that it's a new LCD inversion artifact, possibly as an interaction with degraded overdrive that might work concurrently with inversion algorithms.

Yes. Strobing can amplify the visibility of LCD inversion artifacts.

As for 2720Z V2 firmware, there's a voltage-boosting glitch that sends extra overvoltage to the strobe backlight during out-of-spec operation (e.g. large vertical total operation). That was fixed in all newer BenQs, as well as newer revisions of 2720Z firmwares.

Edit : For everyone who has the CLUB 3D 1010 --- OverClock with OORBuster or OORFixer does'nt work. I hope it works with softmccs .
