LightBoost users:

Vega and several other people have messaged to tell me that the new Geforce driver version 320.18 (nVidia website) has greatly improved LightBoost color quality on ASUS VG248QE monitors (and possibly also BENQ XL2411T). It is not as good color as 144Hz, but much closer than before.

How does this affect lightboost color if you're using an AMD card? Since the geforce drivers are not even installed? Do the drivers somehow FORCE a certain internal color calibration into the monitor, which gets stored in lightboost ?
 
CallSignVega and a few others reported an improvement in the picture on a different display than expected -- the XL2720T -- so I'm wondering what 320.18 is doing in this territory.

Ah yes I have tested this new driver, but on a side monitor XL2720T which now has far better picture quality than the VG248QE both in LB mode. ;) The QE seems all faded and bleached out now with the BenQ looking far superior. The crimson tint is pretty much gone now, but the BenQ looks much more like a normal non-LB monitor side-by-side versus the Asus.

Same for my VG278H; my VG278H has comparatively excellent colors in LightBoost (about 80% as good as non-LightBoost), with contrast ratios approaching 700:1.
It is probably using a similiar panel as the XL2720T.

I'm wondering what's the jig is up for the VG248QE. Very, very strange.
