Benq XL2430T Settings

[CybeRFernandes]

Hey there SevenFlow,

I'm glad i've helped you out with my own settings and thanks for your thoughts on it. I'll test the Color Vibrance vs nVidia digital vibrance and i'm also going to update the software as you mentioned.

Hello I just bought this monitor too and I have some question for u too

First thanks for your post he is helpfull to me, but I have a little concern :

For CS:GO I play at 1280*1024 (120hz) stretched , but with some VT Tweak at 1500, with 2 custom resolution (1980 and 1280) the game doesn't stretch anymore... What can I do ?

How can I save a full profile with gaming config and color balance in one profile?

THanks for your help ! Coming from an old 60Hz monitor it's amaizing the difference when u play !

Got my 1280*1024 working but I still have ghosting issue....

With VT1500 + 16/40 benq blur reduction

Please clarify this ghosting issue.
Are you talking about an ugly double-thick band of super dark strobe crosstalk artifacts at the *BOTTOM* of the screen? (assuming "Area" is set to 0 or 100 (strobe phase in the service menu)?

Or are you talking about an inverse image pattern following objects at all parts of the screen? Please clarify.

The first can be fixed by enabling GPU SCALING and using a VT 1500 tweak at 100 or 120hz refresh rate. Then by switching to 1280x1024, the video drivers will "Scale" 1920x1080 downwards to 1280x1024, meaning the 1920x1080 signal is being used (you can check the monitor OSD and it will report 1920x1080--that's when you know you did it properly).

Its almost impossible to create a 1280x1024 DISPLAY SCALED (custom resolution) with a vertical total tweak without messing up the scaling options of the monitor. It can be done but the OSD scaling settings may be grossly distorted with wrong aspects. That's because VT Tweaks actually change how the scaler sees the resolution. So if you want lower resolutions below "native" with VT tweaks, it's best to enable GPU scaling.

if you want a 'missing' lower resolution, example 1440x1080 is a very nice 4:3 resolution that fits vertically with a 1920x1080p monitor, just create it in ToastyX CRU as a custom resolution, using default timings. Then enable GPU scaling so 1440x1080 uses the 1920x1080 VT tweak.

It's a inverse image pattern.. that can't be fixed I think but I see it only when doing the ufo test.

Hey Falkentyne,

You've made me question if i've done the custom resolution settings right... I just upgraded to windows 10 and it messed up my custom resolutions etc. So, i've got a custom res of 1080p with VT 1500 and since in CS:GO i use 1280x960 streched and i got the screen dark as hell, i've figured out i had to create a custom res in nVidia Control Panel of 1280x960 with VT 1500 in order for the tweak to work.

I've made those two resolutions with VT 1500 and i got a brighter screen in-game meaning it is working (i guess) but since i've done this, whenever I Alt+Tab from CS:GO it takes me more than the normal 1/2 seconds it used to when i was on Windows 8.1. It takes over 5 seconds now and i think it is due to the different resolutions between cs:go and windows (if i use 1080p in cs:go it takes less than a second to alt tab). The thing is, i had the same resolutions on win 8.1 and it was still that quick making me think i've done something wrong this time... Can you guide me through the different steps and settings for this to be properly done? In nvidia control panel ive got the following settings: Full-Screen, GPU Scalling, Tick on the box that says to ignore scalling from 3rd party programs.

Thanks in advance, willing to hear your words of wisdom.

I don't have windows 10 or an Nvidia card so I'm not sure how to help. I'm sorry

You told on a previous post that there was a way to know if you were doing the gpu scaling right by checking the resolution in the OSD menu... How can i check that?

[Falkentyne]

Um...that was for the previous Z monitors and ONLY if you were using a VT tweak.
VT tweak active would report 60hz refreshrate in the OSD, so if you GPU scaled 1920x1080@120hz, VT 1500, to let' say, 1280x960@120hz, the OSD would show "1920x1080@60" if it was gpu scaling to 1280x960, because any VT tweak reports 60hz for some reason.

XL2430T reports the correct refresh rate with VT tweak now, but it will still show 1920x1080 in the OSD if gpu scaled. If displayscaled it will show a lower resolution directly.

Somehow i managed to get it done. When i'm on CS:GO with 1280x960 @ 120Hz, VT 1500 is working and if check the OSD menu it says i'm currently on 1920x1080 @ 120Hz. Now i Alt+tab from the game and back to the game in less than a sec like i used to.
