Is it possible these eye fatigue claims are caused by FRC/Dithering? Surely, effects such as PWM, LCD inversion artifacts, KSF phosphor, BGR layout aren't a factor here? I can't think of anything else, the coating and/or polarizer perhaps?

Not necessarily.

Hmm, it seems like HDMI works much much better than Display port. I'm actually liking this. WTF man, I hate monitors, why do they have to be so F**king quirky.

What are you talking about?

HDMI should never be better than DP.

Not necessarily - Newer HDMI can be very good nowadays. Also firmware differences on different models can switch HDMI-vs-DP processing lag into favour of one or the other — it is never DP consistently better, nor HDMI consistently better.

However, there wasn’t supposed to be a major difference — This merits further analysis. I’d inform ViewSonic.

Also make sure to test apples vs apples on monitor features (VRR on versus off)

Does this monitor have a weird resolution or hz? I can't get it to clone with my Elgato 4k mk2. I've never had a problem getting a monitor to clone. When I select clone to the elgato it just shuts off.

XG2431 does not come with HDMI cable. It comes with display 1.2. For HDMI to be faster maybe he tried a HDMI 2.0?

@Chief

Can you elaborate on this question I asked? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8113&start=760#p76029

Really sorry to bother you, but I now just experienced the same issue again in a different game and hopefully I can figure it out before this post gets forgotten about

So I'm still on the fence about the XG2431 (as I cannot for certain tell yet if it's causing strain) but I'm 99% sure I'm going to return the XL2546K.

It's a shame, I really enjoy a lot about the XL2546K and it's really nice to use for gaming. However, I also work from home and use my setup for 8-hours a day working and the BenQ is really, really awful when it comes to text smearing/ghosting on web pages and documents. I've been curious if that's what is causing some of my strain.

So I think I'm going to return the XL2546K and use the XG2431 standalone for a little bit for a cleaner test to see if I can narrow down the issue. But I just can't live long-term with the XL2546K's shortcomings outside of gaming...

Do you prefer the Zowie to the Viewsonic for gaming?

After testing them side-by-side for a while I think I can say, yes, I prefer the XL2546K over the XG2431 for gaming.

Sounds like a monitor to check out then. What are the attributes that you prefer with the Zowie?
