Only the one that Blurbuster testing has issue, however, the one that
Blurbuster was testing is actually the engineering sample, not the MP sample."
Good to hear. Hopefully someone can confirm whether there is a strobe timing issue.

Correct, because some of retail XL2720Z monitors STILL had the problem. It does not specifically affect only the engineering unit.

I am excited that BENQ is adding the adjustments, but I do recommend waiting.

Sadly, even if we get confirmation about a bug fix we won't know for sure if the bad ones have cleared the retail channel. I guess poor availability is good news until then.

Excellent! I'd like you to do the motion test, and if it has any issues, to also test out the new workaround.

You can also order 120Hz/144Hz monitors including the XL2420Z via the Blur Busters Official 120Hz List! -- these support the operation of Blur Busters.

Bought one about an hour ago!

Not since 2007, with a NEC CRT (R.I.P.), have I used a monitor that can do over 60Hz. I haven't been this excited about a computer upgrade in a long time :D

Just in case you guys don't know, there also an XL2411Z coming. Slightly lower input lag than the XL2420Z, but with fewer inputs.
