LB at setting of 10 (one above lowest brightness) everything else default on standard.
Hm, are you using them on the standard mode? (or does lightboost ignore that bit )
They were both done at fairly low brightness settings, that was at LB of one above lowest because of the faster pulses. I don't use LB myself when gaming, it gives me eyestrain, albeit minimal but id prefer none
Maybe it's just BF3? It could be disabling the profile.
As for being red I found they were further from red, especially in LB I get a nice red tint which it removed, but I guess that's what's going to happen they can't all be the same!
thanks guys, I don't notice much difference between 120hz with LB Vs 144hz No LB TBH, both feel great though.
It's quite normal to have these conflicting reviews of LightBoost.The difference is huge! I can instantly tell when LB is not on.
All you guys and your lightboost talk... might have to drop some cash on a goddamn gtx something or other... that, or you're all secretly working for nvidia (can't it be both?)
can anyone tell me which one actually has less input lag, the VG248QE or the XL2411T? =)
Vega shoot me your settings in a PM and your steps and settings for LB pls, I think I am missing something.
see here - pcmonitors.info announces a review at the end of this week.
Not PM, do it here. I am using your settings you posted before at 10% LB; I'd like to know if you've changed anything. I"m using contrast 75, but find I need to increase the LB setting in BF3 especially as it's kindof dark.
I put the LB instructions in the first post.
Ya, you'll have to use the hack unless you buy a nvidia 3dvision kit. That's what I did and I love it. Games like BATMAN and DEADSPACE 3 are absolutely stunning in 3d! (with the help of HELIX mod); not to mention watching 3d videos, 3d pics and 3d movies on my blu-ray. Highly recommended. If you don't have the transponder thing then you have to do a reg hack which I didn't want to do which is why i bought the 3dvision kit for about 129
when I have LB on am I supposed to be able to change the nvidia lightboost setting on my monitor? cuz i cant...
The only evidence I have that it is working is by hitting ctrl-t in game, and it switches between 3d and 2d, does that mean LB is working? Because on desktop I see no evidence of it working... no color shift or brightness change.
You are wrong, NJames, you won't be able to do the 3d without the nvidia card; and similarly see my post above. You will be able to play games at 144hz.
If it is flipping in and out of 3d in game with ctl-T then it's working in game; when you are in desktop, try to alter the OSD settings; you will only see contrast and lightboost options available to modify. It will only always be in LB mode if you've set the stereoscopic settings to be on 'ALWAYS' in the options (and not just 'when a 3d application is running). Are you saying when you hit menu and try to turn the LB from say 100% to 10% that's not working? If so, then yes, maybe something is whacky.
Also, if you switch the refresh rate to 144hz on desktop the monitor should black out and come back on. That's it turning LB mode off; now (at 144hz) you should be able to modify the brightness and all other options in the OSD.
**If you are in LB mode on the desktop and hit the menu button, it will say '3D Mode' in the upper right hand corner of the OSD
So far, reports is showing that both seem to be very similar:Was hoping for a more one-sided conclusion than "buy what's available" from PCM, I guess I'll wait for that further post where it properly compares the XL2411T.
So far, reports is showing that both seem to be very similar:
- 1ms panels, same size
- Both have a LightBoost mode that is virtually completely free of PixPerAn artifacts
- Both have reportedly the same input lag (~2ms) in non-LightBoost mode
I'm looking forward to seeing a comparison too!
This is my current working theory, one of us will need to do some input lag testing. I've shelved my input lag meter work to focus on my motion test work, which I'm aiming to launch during March (if possible).I'd guess the possible lag would be from the frame "lighting up" at the end of the frame time, rather than sooner without lightboost. The transfer of the frame to the panel probably isn't different. Right or wrong?
