Hi Guys,
So I've taken the plunge and put an order in for this monitor, despite the lack of reviews so I'll let you know my impressions once it arrives.
I decided to pose 4 questions to BenQ support and I thought I would share the answers with everyone:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many thanks for contacting BenQ.
Please see below the answers to your questions:
- Although the specifications state that the display supports 16.7 millions colours, is
this using a 8-bit LUT or 6-bit + dithering (as was used on the BenQ XL2420Z)?
The 16.7 million colours is reached via 6bit+FRC
- Does this model ship with a firmware that allows for 3rd-party applications to modify
the Blur Reduction backlight behaviour (such as the Blur Busters tool)?
The T series does not allow third party software to be installed, although, inside the OSD menu there is an adjustment function for the Blur Reduction performance.
- Are you able to provide any details on what is different with the BenQ Blur Reduction 2
(e.g. does it have less impact on the brightness, improved the situation with crosstalk
etc...)?
The Blur Reduction 2 improves brightness when set on but when adjusting the intensity via OSD can slightly decrease the crosstalk performance.
- Very importantly - does the monitor continue the very-low input lag of between
1.5ms-2.5ms (N.B. this is different from the pixel response time); this aspect is critical
to my purchase decision?
Of course yes, the lag time level is the same (1.5ms - 2.5ms).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chief - BenQ are saying the monitor won't be compatible with 3rd party utilities (unless their statement literally means you can't flash any software onto the monitor itself), however, it looks like the firmware / OSD menu of the of the monitor itself has some strobe / crosstalk tuning available. Are you guys still confident you can update the Blur Busters utility to support this monitor?
