Presenting the ZOWIE XL2540 240Hz
Re: Presenting the ZOWIE XL2540 240Hz
Got this. I can try answer your questions if possible. For me it was a surprise when I saw no 60Hz option at PC resolutions. 100/120/144/240Hz at displayport under PC section at nvidia control panel.
Re: Presenting the ZOWIE XL2540 240Hz
Is there a way to use strobing in this monitor? Like using lightboost software or ? I really want to see 240hz strobing in action.

Re: Presenting the ZOWIE XL2540 240Hz
Does this monitor support 3d vision 2 ?
if it does, you can try using the INF hack to force Lightboost mode IF the Nvidia drivers will identify the monitor correctly. But with the change in refresh rates, if you even got a signal, 240hz would probably vanish unless you found the timings manually (in the EDID with ToastyX CRU) and added the resolution. And you might not even find the resolution as it would be in the extension block.
The lightboost VG278H identifier ID is ACI27F8. for 1920x1080 monitors that support 3d vision 2, you can change the product ID to ACI27F8, go to the 3d vision 2 Nvidia driver folder (where the driver package is extracted on installs), install the drivers and see if it detects the monitor as an Asus 120hz 3d LCD, and then, (if in windows 7), select "choose when the display is in 3D mode-Always", and then create a custom resolution: 1920x1080@100hz with vertical total 1138, or 120hz with VT 1149, and then test it.
The monitor should then enter 3d mode.
This doesn't seem to work on Gsync monitors that have ULMB and 3d vision 2, even the 1080p panels. For those, you just need the 3d glasses.

As far I can see it has no strobing options at all.paegetsu wrote:Is there a way to use strobing in this monitor? Like using lightboost software or ? I really want to see 240hz strobing in action.

There is no any 3d/lightboots/nvidia mentions at monitor (stickers) and OSD.Falkentyne wrote:Does this monitor support 3d vision 2 ?

Controller is RealTek 0x2796.
Default FPS1 preset have fcked up colors as usual. Disabling useless features like black equalizer and etc and setting colors to normal profile gives better colors than XL2411T, XL2411Z, XL2430T and betten than PG248Q with overclock 170-180Hz (changed gamma, etc, tiny interference).
Is there any success in enabling Lightboost with Realtek controller?

Re: Presenting the ZOWIE XL2540 240Hz
Overclocked simply by nvidia control panel to 241 and 242 Hz.
OSD confirms current resolution is 241 and 242 Hz accordingly.
Optimal is 240Hz.
Quake Live never been so smooth before with any of my previous monitors.
Of course it doesn't make my aim much better or change my performance.

realtek 2796 is the same as XL2730.
2796B Is in the XL2735

Welp there you have it!

Re: Presenting the ZOWIE XL2540 240Hz
I have a question regarding this monitor: If I would set refresh rate to 240Hz but my game would be able to maintain only 144Hz what kind of perceived motion blur I would see? According to the link posted below it would be 144Hz quality or rather 240Hz?
