I’m really tempted to buy one instead of waiting another couple months for their official release in Q2. Do we know for sure if the monitors available in Q2 will have full OSD monitor controls? I’d hope that the official release of G-Sync monitors by Asus would be much more refined then these DIY kits.

Not sure yet about OSD monitor controls for the next wave of GSYNC monitors, but I know several of them will have OSD controls.

In the interim, you can control the monitor via this method:
HOWTO: Adjust Colors Via App — for GSYNC / ULMB
This one also survives power cycles & launching into games.

Chief you said you are in contact with BenQ for their new monitors, the Z series.

Could you please ask them to make it more simple to switch inputs?

I have the Benq XL2420TE and Im pretty happy with the monitor, the only thing that is annoying is how complicated it is to switch inputs.

Usually there is an extra button on the monitors that u can press, to change inputs. With the Benq you have to go through the menu, scroll down and then switch inputs. Its pretty annoying when you have a console connected to the monitor and want to switch between the console and PC.

It would be really cool if you could pass it to the Devs, since I think its a thing that bothers many ppl.

Also they should allow us to disable the Bootlogo of the Monitor in the normal menu. Ive found out that we can disable the Benq Bootlogo through the Service Menu, however IMO it should be included in the normal menu, so everyone who is not that techy can disable the rather annoying Bootlogo.

Or at least aks Benq to change the color of the Logo to some different color than Violet (purple) and also change the fact that the logo is shown at full brightness of 100%, which is really annoying when you turn on the monitor at night.

Why different color than purple for the logo? Because they are implementing techniques to reduce the blue light, with their “low blue light” technology which I highly welcome. So since they are trying to reduce the unhealthy blue light, they should definately change the Bootlogo color/background color to some different color that has very low blue levels.

Thanks in advance chief. I do enjoy the monitor, however if we can help make it even better, it would be amazing.

Imo beeing able to switch inputs quickly should have a high priority.

Good points.

An interim solution:
Are you able to switch input faster using the external controller?

Thank you it would be great if you can forward the points to Benq.

See thats exactly what I also thought first and tried it. However that adapter doesnt speed up the process of switching inputs. Or at least you cant bind switching inputs to a button on the external controller.

It is a little faster than pressing the touch buttons but thats still not a good solution. Imo it would be great if we could bind switching Input to the external controller buttons or it should be bound to one of the touch buttons on the monitor.

Again when you have a console right on your desk and switch between pc and console alot, its unnecessarily complicated and annoying the way how Benq implemented it right now.

I’ve made a note of your suggestion, which I’ll send!

If you’d like, also post a list of suggestions at http://forums.blurbusters.com (needs separate account) since I know BENQ and ASUS reps are now apparently paying attention to the new forum, as is NVIDIA.

It will still be some more time before G-SYNC gets preassembled at the ASUS factory, so these units carries a slight early bird premium at this time — since they’re manually upgrading the VG248QE’s at this time. Just so you know!
