xl2546s displayscaling is perfect.
can i ask how its broken? i just picked up a xl2546x+. i saw in the website "resolution preset list" file, that it has specified detailed timings for 1024x768 280hz, 1280x960 280hz, 1680x1050 280hz specifically for CS2 to work with display scaling. and when i tried it, it worked (desktop refresh rate was 1920x1080 280hz, ingame was 1024x768 279.996hz or something). also when i use display scaling and launch CS2 or alt tab on these specific resolutions, my game goes black for 2 seconds and actually allows me to adjust the Display Mode scaling settings in the OSD (between full, aspect, and 1:1 scaling) in the OSD when using display scaling. all three settings adjust the image appropriately.
yes for firts 2h impressions that is best exp.jeffeh12133 wrote: ↑06 Jan 2025, 02:47can i ask how its broken? i just picked up a xl2546x+. i saw in the website "resolution preset list" file, that it has specified detailed timings for 1024x768 280hz, 1280x960 280hz, 1680x1050 280hz specifically for CS2 to work with display scaling. and when i tried it, it worked (desktop refresh rate was 1920x1080 280hz, ingame was 1024x768 279.996hz or something). also when i use display scaling and launch CS2 or alt tab on these specific resolutions, my game goes black for 2 seconds and actually allows me to adjust the Display Mode scaling settings in the OSD (between full, aspect, and 1:1 scaling) in the OSD when using display scaling. all three settings adjust the image appropriately.
with nvidia GPU scaling, it keeps to the default behavior that we all know of and displays lower resolutions as 1920x1080 280hz and doesnt allow switching of the Display Mode setting in OSD.
i checked the EDID using CRU/MonInfo and there are manually specified detailed timings for those 4:3 stretched style resolutions (1024x768, 1280x960, etc etc) that gamers like to use for CS2 or other competitive games. this leads me to believe that BenQ started supporting display scaling since apparently in the EDID these timings are specified (correct me if im wrong, but i dont think some of the older models had these timings and required GPU scaling). on top of that, i used display scaling for a bit and it works properly but i still like to use GPU. i might switch around and try display again though.
can you explain why its broken or what experience you had? for me it works fine but im just going based off a few hours of gameplay.
in the earlier post though, you said the XL2546x+ display scaling is broken, can you explain how its broken?Slender wrote: ↑08 Jan 2025, 00:05yes for firts 2h impressions that is best exp.jeffeh12133 wrote: ↑06 Jan 2025, 02:47can i ask how its broken? i just picked up a xl2546x+. i saw in the website "resolution preset list" file, that it has specified detailed timings for 1024x768 280hz, 1280x960 280hz, 1680x1050 280hz specifically for CS2 to work with display scaling. and when i tried it, it worked (desktop refresh rate was 1920x1080 280hz, ingame was 1024x768 279.996hz or something). also when i use display scaling and launch CS2 or alt tab on these specific resolutions, my game goes black for 2 seconds and actually allows me to adjust the Display Mode scaling settings in the OSD (between full, aspect, and 1:1 scaling) in the OSD when using display scaling. all three settings adjust the image appropriately.

how to use that resolution correctly:
open sre.exe and delete all
open cru.exe and delete all resolutions exept 1080 60 360 / 1280x960
in all games you could see only 2 res.
Unfortunately, I don’t have xl2546s to show clearly, but the xl2566k has much worse overall picture clarity with display scaling; this blurriness doesn’t even correct sharpness 10. Although on the xl2546s I used the value 7. The menu has become so poor. The current resolution is not shown and you cannot find out whether display scaling is working or not. I would change this xl2566k to xl2546s if I had the opportunity.jeffeh12133 wrote: ↑10 Jan 2025, 09:57in the earlier post though, you said the XL2546x+ display scaling is broken, can you explain how its broken?Slender wrote: ↑08 Jan 2025, 00:05yes for firts 2h impressions that is best exp.jeffeh12133 wrote: ↑06 Jan 2025, 02:47can i ask how its broken? i just picked up a xl2546x+. i saw in the website "resolution preset list" file, that it has specified detailed timings for 1024x768 280hz, 1280x960 280hz, 1680x1050 280hz specifically for CS2 to work with display scaling. and when i tried it, it worked (desktop refresh rate was 1920x1080 280hz, ingame was 1024x768 279.996hz or something). also when i use display scaling and launch CS2 or alt tab on these specific resolutions, my game goes black for 2 seconds and actually allows me to adjust the Display Mode scaling settings in the OSD (between full, aspect, and 1:1 scaling) in the OSD when using display scaling. all three settings adjust the image appropriately.

I get the older versions are weird, but i think you misunderstand my question:Slender wrote: ↑12 Jan 2025, 16:42Unfortunately, I don’t have xl2546s to show clearly, but the xl2566k has much worse overall picture clarity with display scaling; this blurriness doesn’t even correct sharpness 10.

Sorry, I really don’t have direct evidence that the new 2546x 2566k panels perform worse than the old panels. I'm only comparing the xl2546s and xl2566k, and comparing these two monitors the 2566 has a much less sharp image. Display Scaling worked perfectly on 2546s and even gave a crt feel at 800x600 in 1.6. I could play csgo at 1024x768 stretched and it was clear and crisp. At 2566k 1280x960 is not even close. Perhaps I got a bad panel in 2566 and a very good one in 2546s, I don’t know.Slender wrote: ↑12 Jan 2025, 16:42Unfortunately, I don’t have xl2546s to show clearly, but the xl2566k has much worse overall picture clarity with display scaling; this blurriness doesn’t even correct sharpness 10.

thanks mate <3 can you link that "resolution preset list? as far as I understand, I shoud enter those timings in cru, for example for 1024x768 for display scaling? so no cvt-rb / exact reduced or whateverjeffeh12133 wrote: ↑06 Jan 2025, 02:47can i ask how its broken? i just picked up a xl2546x+. i saw in the website "resolution preset list" file, that it has specified detailed timings for 1024x768 280hz, 1280x960 280hz, 1680x1050 280hz specifically for CS2 to work with display scaling. and when i tried it, it worked (desktop refresh rate was 1920x1080 280hz, ingame was 1024x768 279.996hz or something). also when i use display scaling and launch CS2 or alt tab on these specific resolutions, my game goes black for 2 seconds and actually allows me to adjust the Display Mode scaling settings in the OSD (between full, aspect, and 1:1 scaling) in the OSD when using display scaling. all three settings adjust the image appropriately.
