good stuff vega. maybe one day ill attempt this on mines. haha.
You should just make a big, detailed, public post in this thread, since it pertains to this monitor. I don't have any plans to do it myself, but maybe in a few years down the road, or I might do this to my previous monitor just for kicks.PM me if you want info on me doing it.
I'm about to buy this monitor, do i need to buy any extra cable in order to run this in lightboost hack, or 144hz or what ever, i wanna run this monitor like its meant to be

For more information on converting, send me a PM.
Taking the best gaming monitor on the planet to a whole new level.
I'm going to order this monitor soon, anything I should know? Would amazon be best to purchase from? Any different versions to be aware of?

Vega I want to ask about glare. Is it much much worst without AG coating? I have Benq xl2411t and wondering about doing the mod, what about cleaning etc. without AG?
AG removal looks awesome.
It'd be worth it to me to buy one that has the coating removed by you at a markup + shipping since you have a lot more experience doing it. I will not be upgrading to a nvidia card until some of their other cards come out later this year so no reason to buy a lightboost2 monitor just yet. Hoping to get a titan or gtx 780 after some game benchmarks come out on them and they are available for purchase.
You can do almost the same thing as Black Equalizer by using a display calibration program. It's just adjustment of the greyscale curves, really. nVidia Control Panel calibrations -- tweaking the gamma levels, saturation, etc. -- can get really close to Black Equalizer.the benq edges out the asus imo due to its black equalizer, which i see being a vital feature in dark areas. now if one of them came with a glossy screen, choosing would be easier.
I'd say VG248QE just to get 144hz instead of 120hz, otherwise decide via pricing/availability.BenQ XL2411T or ASUS VG248QE? Or is the jury still out? I'm not willing to remove the AG film (is this the same on both?) and the only posts I can find comparing them say they're pretty much the same so any extra nudges would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Does ASCR = DCR? If so, the ASUS has 80M:1 while the BenQ only has 12M:1. I realize there would be diminishing returns on this but that's a pretty big difference.
Oh I see, you are saying if you cannot keep the high FPS at all times it doesn't work out as well.. Is it blur, stuttering?
Also do note that icc was created under the Standard preset on the monitor at 18 brightness and default contrast (80) non-lightboost
I have just started testing lightboost and it tints it a little red so might throw a second icc up for lightboost users depends how well it works out!
Hi I just have one question on this monitor. Is there much whining or squealing with the brightness turned down? Does it emit much noise? Thanks in advance..

edit;Cr4zy PLEASE do this; or could you PM me if you do so? I use your normal ICC profile but it's way too dark in BF3 but looks so good on desktop; but I am running LIGHTBOOST 24/7.
If you could make a spyder profile for Lightboost users I guarantee many would be soo happy!
Vega - I noticed you are selling your monitor? Did you decide to just stick with the 2B catleap and that a bit more blur and extra real estate was worth the trade off to you?

Lightboost on calibrated profile, hope this is good!

I wonder if Vega is going to be able to push the monitor up to 160hz+ with Titan's new feature...
I should note that even 160Hz (non-CRT, non-LightBoost) on a traditional LCD display would still have a frame sample length of 1/160sec. LightBoost LCD's at 1.4ms strobe flashes, gives you frame samples of ~1/700sec. (CRT-style flickers of 1.4/1000th of a second per refresh)I wonder if Vega is going to be able to push the monitor up to 160hz+ with Titan's new feature...

Hey Cr4zy, what are your contrast and lightboost monitor settings with this profile? Thanks
Wow! I really appreciate this, unfortunately it's still just too dark for gaming (bf3 in particular); and I notice your profiles lean toward the red spectrum. It's something that's jarring at first, then I start to like it. For desktop is awesome, but for lightboost I guess the best solution is to use nvidia desktop color tweaks as VEGA does that seems to work the best.
Disappointed, but not in your work, it's excellent!
Actually, I just bought two more to de-matte'tacize. Ya, that's a word!
I will be running three in de-bezled portrait Surround Lightboost mode with Titans. Something about perfect motion clarity surround really has me interested! As for overclocking, the new Titan feature just is an easier way to overclock (had to do it manually before). It won't actually allow you to run any faster as the monitor itself is the limit. In order to tweak the timings to their ultimate, you will still have to manually set them. Point is moot though for my setup, as Lightboost is 120 Hz only (which is fine with me as the clarity is perfect at that setting with 1.4 ms strobes).
How do we apply the icc profiles, I looked around quite a bit in the thread couldn't anything except the location.
