I only ask cuz i saw this advertisement on a local distributor of Viewsonic in China called jindong.com(basically its just a chinese version of amazon).
I bought the XG720QG cuz it says it contains PureXP and "blurbusters" mode. And I saw XG720 is blurbusters approved and it is 1080p, so naturally, I thought this 2k version of XG720 is the same( and it says so). However, when I turn it on, I see no function of PureXP and I discovered that it is not blurbuster approved(at least that what I thought).
What is going on here? Am I wrong? Can We do something about it?

Re: XG270QG is blurbusters approved?
Hello,
No, it is not, currently only the XG270 (no suffix) is the Blur Busters Approved one. The XG270QC and XG270QG has the slow red phosphor which creates ghosting during PureXP.
The JD.com link you gave me for XG270QC, is not authorized to have Blur Busters Approved mention, can you tell me where on the web page (screenshot) it says Blur Busters Approved?
However, XG270QC does indeed have PureXP. But you have to turn off FreeSync and make sure refresh rate is 75Hz or higher, in order to activate PureXP. It just will have a slight amount of red phosphor ghosting. Some people find it okay, others don't like it. Give it a try before deciding to return it.
I did personally tune XG270QC myself for ViewSonic, so it does have PureXP built into it. If PureXP is missing then please take a photo of the Display Menu and inform me. Perhaps PureXP is spelled differently in Chinese, but PureXP will be the item that is 2 rows below the FreeSync line.
You have to turn off "AMD Radeon FreeSync" first before enabling PureXP
Otherwise, PureXP is grayed-out. Please turn off "AMD Radeon FreeSync" to be able to enable "PureXP":

Thank you for replying!
In the link, it says blurbusters mode previously, and it corrected it and says blurbusters tuned after I pointed out they are making false advertisment.
previously it said blurbusters mode, so the I thought it is blurbusters approved and told me this as well Now it says blurbusters tuned.
Re: XG270QG is blurbusters approved?
BTW I only see ULMB on the menu but not I do not see PureXP function on XG270QGChief Blur Buster wrote: ↑06 Nov 2020, 01:13Hello,

Re: XG270QG is blurbusters approved?
Oh, that's the XG270QG, the JD.com link shows both models.
There are multiple XG270s:
XG270 - 1080p 240Hz FreeSync (G-SYNC Compatible) with PureXP+
XG270QC - 1440p 165Hz FreeSync (G-SYNC Compatible) with PureXP+
XG270QG - 1440p 165Hz G-SYNC with ULMB
Your model has ULMB, not PureXP+. Neither model is licensed to use the Blur Busters Approved Logo that was awarded to the XG270, so JD.com was the one in error. The JD site still has incorrect information since the XG270QG does not use the PureXP+ branding, but the ULMB branding.

Re: XG270QG is blurbusters approved?
They told me XG270QG is inserted with G-sync chip, so unlike XG270, purexp is open in defalut, you dont need to turn it on( they say this because I asked them where is the purexp). And blurbuster mode is a collaborative mode with blurbusters. But I naturally thought it is blurbusters approved. May I ask if you tuned the XG270QG for them? Are they false advertising? Can I suit them for false advertisement, since they dont have neither PureXP nor blurbusters approved or blurbusters tuned or whatever it is.Chief Blur Buster wrote: ↑09 Nov 2020, 01:26Oh, that's the XG270QG, the JD.com link shows both models.

Re: XG270QG is blurbusters approved? [No, but the XG270 is]
According to your screenshots, JD did false advertising, yes.gavinsze1 wrote: ↑09 Nov 2020, 02:23They told me XG270QG is inserted with G-sync chip, so unlike XG270, purexp is open in defalut, you dont need to turn it on( they say this because I asked them where is the purexp).

Be noted that PureXP and ULMB are two separate brand names to describe
PureXP and ULMB are two different names for motion blur reduction, see List of Motion Blur Reduction Names.
Native G-SYNC chips do not have PureXP.
They are two different brands for similar feature:
- PureXP is ViewSonic Trademark.
- ULMB is NVIDIA Trademark.
Don't be confused:
- PureXP monitors do not use ULMB trademark
- ULMB monitors do not use PureXP trademark
To be clear, the three different models:
- PureXP that is Blur Busters Approved (XG270) -- allowed to use Blur Busters name
- PureXP that is not (XG270QC) -- not licensed to use Blur Busters name
- ULMB instead of PureXP (XG270QG) -- not licensed to use Blur Busters name

I am going to do something about it and not let others be misled by their false advertisement.
