I’m sorry for my English.

I got X-Star DP2414LED several days ago just to overclock it and compare with my BenQ XL2411Z.
First of all I don’t like this strobed techs like LightBoost, ULMB, BenQ Blur Reduction and etc and I prefer to play fast twitched FPS. (Input lag is noticeable for me with strobe techs i tried LightBoost & BBR).
I’m also don’t need any Sync techs like FreeSync and G-SYNC. (FPS are 250 or more). Same with panel types. TN is enough for me.
No need to discuss this.
Someday I’ve found information about this monitors (QNIX QX2414LED & X-Star DP2414LED) at Blur Busters Forums and decided to try one of them. They are almost equal. The first one released was QNIX QX2414LED 144Hz 1.5ms with DVI-D only. The pros of DVI-D are may be less input lag and better chances to be overclocked. The next released was X-Star DP2414LED 144Hz 1ms with D-SUB/HDMI/DVI-D inputs and advertised ability to 185Hz overclock.

Overclocked to 185Hz and 200Hz. Got some scanlines at top right side of screen. At 200Hz monitor show white screen after 5-10-15 mins :( so I switched to advertised 185Hz. May be 185Hz because it’s stable.
What I can say for sure is that ghosting at 185Hz is much less than at 144Hz. Overdrive isn’t aggressive if exist :)
I’ve disassembled monitor to view at panel and scaler.
Panel is AUO M240HW01 V8. It’s same as in XL2411Z and in most of 24” 144Hz monitors.
Scaler (processor/main board) is different. May be it’s MST 2403 (MSTAR) - info from EDID.
Default 144Hz timings are:
"1920x1080" 328,890 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1084 1089 1098 +hsync +vsync
For XL2411Z timings are:
"1920x1080" 325,080 1920 1944 1976 2056 1080 1083 1088 1098 +hsync +vsync

At 200Hz horizontal scan rate (horizontal frequency) is ~220 kHz and pixel clock is 456 MHz.

I need someone who can read Korean and say for sure is there any options to change overdrive setting in OSD? :) album with manual http://imgur.com/a/J6Dqz
Some photos with packaging, frameskipping test, scanlines, disassembled monitor and etc http://imgur.com/a/Jo496

Not sure
Hard to say is it better or worse than BenQ XL2411Z. Need some more game sessions.

Shipping to Saint Petersburg, Russia from South Korea took 5 days. Well done EMS. Good packaging and speed.
item is http://www.ebay.com/itm/221822303311 and seller called dream-seller.

cant wait to see the difference from 144hz, it will be noticeable at first sight.

I kid, just being sarcastic, I don't think anyone will be able to tell the difference, unless, you're a hawk.

My BenQ is only good in Photo Mode with Blue Reduction off and Brightness turned way down in Nvidia settings and on the monitor.


Next time the ROG Swift goes on Sale going to pick one of those up...... I figured I can use 27" just took a while for my eyes to get used to it.
