Re: What makes 240hz better than 144hz for competitive?

I haven't tried without using the S switch yet. Also I did initially overclock to 220, I only backed off to 215 just to feel a bit safer. I'll be putting it back to 220 and testing that out. I was able to use the strobe utility and adjust persistance etc without any problems.Chief Blur Buster wrote:Nice! You overclocked your 144Hz BenQ XL2430T to 215Hz -- are you able to do that without the S-Switch?garetjax wrote:I overclocked my BenQ XL2430T- its a 24 incher. It has the S switch so its really easy. I couldn't use the utility Chief Blurbuster recommended to fix the colors, whenever I tried enabling movie mode and activating it my screen locked up. I just manually adjusted colors and its fine. I haven't really messed with Chiefs strobe utility besides knocking it down to 5 has he recommended as to not do any voltage damage.
Note: Generally, you don't need to worry about adjusting the Persistence setting on newer XL2430Ts as the overvoltage bug only affects early firmwares, most XL2720Z. So it should be safe. Try briefly adjusting Persistence upwards and then back down. If your monitor blacks out and shuts down, unplug your monitor from power immediately, go to 60Hz to turn off blur reduction, change Persistence back, and you'll know you have the overvoltage bug of early firmwares (mainly XL2720Z V2) with blur reduction.
Still no luck with the the softmcc software. Once I select movie mode and then activate the screen gets all messed up - unreadable.
