Hi!

I took from here: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=97548DD9 ... Bl2zSLqbgU

Device for firmware gathered himself - 2 transistors and 2 resistors + LPT + D-Sub = 5 min. ;)

Now monitor works perfectly!

P.S. I have monitor Benq XL2720Z.

Main question is, what does this firmware actually improve?

Why is BenQ not making an application to upgrade firmware from windows?

The new firmware improves the installation of game profiles, faster and ... as explained in the headquarters, reliable.
I reprogrammed the monitor on an old computer with a printer port (LPT) + Windows XP. And there are no problems ;)

Or use PCI (PCI-E x1) controller on the LPT port, or USB to LPT, - on modern motherboards without LPT port.

So you updated the firmware from windows XP just by software? How did you do it? Please post detailed instructions and programs used.
