Screen goes fuzzy with Strobing Off (need help)
Posted: 07 Jul 2020, 00:55
Hi, I'm new to this forum and have almost no technical knowledge (so please be gentle with comments and I might need/ask for slightly more thorough explanations/steps). Bought a BenQ 2411T in 2013 which I'm still using, and have a GeForce GTX 960 as my GPU.
I think I discovered LightBoost sometime in 2014 for games like Counter Strike, and stopped using it when it crashed my display. Screen goes fuzzy like when a CRT TV has no signal.
Just started using it again for games, and am happy that there are now quite a few different refresh rates I can set my monitor to.
However, there seems to be an issue with LightBoost when it's turned off, presumably when my monitor's also refreshing at 144Hz. Here's a live example of how the fuzzy screen appears. The issue is most replicable when I'm on Netflix, as seen in this video (not sure how else to tag a video here, sorry if it's not the right format)

The fuzzy screen issue stays on that particular refresh rate until I restart my computer. If I turn strobing back on, it goes away. If I change the refresh rate to something else with strobing still off, the issue goes away. The refresh rates I picked to install LightBoost are the top 2 and bottom 2 of the options presented respectively for Strobing On and Strobing Off, which is why I'm guessing the refresh rate wherein the problem lies is on 144Hz non-strobed.
Does anyone know if it's due to the monitor, my GPU, incompatible refresh rates, or some other reason, and more importantly how to fix it?
Thanks in advance
