Yea, but the improvement is just as noticeable on all of the other monitors that do exactly the same thing with strobe backlight (probably even BETTER with customizable strobe timing and length on benq z-series v2).. Unless they're doing something differently? That is the question. | ||

Unless they're doing something differently? That is the question. This mentions that one improvement would be that it can easily be turned on or off during gameplay by a simple OSD option, and also that this can be used on non-nvidia cards(I guess lightboost is nvidia only?). "This feature is designed to reduce the perceived motion blur much like the LightBoost system does. Since it is natively supported by the screen and easily turned on and off at a screen level from the OSD, there is no need for "hacking" your graphics card settings of trying to enable backlight strobing like on LightBoost monitors. It also means the feature can be used with non-NVIDIA graphics cards which is useful. Turbo 240 involves doubling the frames of the input signal (replicating each frame) and then blinking the backlight off and on in sync with these new frames like an impulse-type display. This should help reduce perceived motion blur much like the LightBoost backlight strobing does on TN Film screens. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/eizo_fg2421.htm Also it's from what I gather the only monitor with a more desireable panel than TN which has support for this tech. | ||

You can turn strobing on/off with a single hotkey and it's not nvidia specific (lightboost hack might not work well on radeon, i'm not sure - but benq blur reduction is neutral AFAIK) Also, desirable is subjective. TN is faster. | ||

for input lag, any screen even at 120hz is still a big amount of input lag, as in a large percentage of total input lag so it's quite important. If you don't really care about it, it doesn't matter so much | ||

Definitely recommend buying a Z serie benq to any FPS player. The colors are really weird compared to my old crappy monitor though, very sharp contrast between everything. Are there color profiles to install or something for the BenQ monitors like there is for the Asus? :o Oops didn't see this. I think you can just google monitor calibration, there should be at least a few easy presets and icc profiles to get you most of the way there even with no knowledge or tools. Make sure you get used to having the monitor at lower brightness settings if possible, because 100% is extremely bright (~420cd/m2) so a more normal setting would be around 1/3'rd brightness | ||

 I'll check the icc profiles anyway, thanks! | ||

There are some tweaks you can do with a custom resolution at 120hz that removes some visual issues relating to strobing (blur reduction) but i'm not sure on the details of that, other than it doesn't work @144hz. The other monitors (lightboost hack) can't strobe at over 120 anyway, and i'm not sure if gsync/ULMB can or not, but 120 is pretty close to 144 so it's usually ok to use | ||

And yeah I read about the custom res thing, but I can't notice the visual artifacts when playing with my current settings anyway so I didn't bother trying it. | ||

It's an issue of hardware and implementation, really. | ||
