Hey Leute,
ich suche seit Wochen nach einem guten Monitor. Muss mich durch Reviews und Texte durchlesen um mal zu erfahren, wie hoch zb die FreeSync Range bei jedem Monitor ist. Welche Firmware man braucht, etc...
Deshalb hier mal eine Übersicht für euch AMD Freunde. Thread wird immer mal wieder verfeinert und erweitert mit Infos.
Bekannte Probleme ( Das heißt, dass wenn ihr alte Monitore bekommt, sie wohl an die Hersteller schicken müsst, um ein Firmware Update zu bekommen ) :
ACER XG270HU
Update 2nd July 2015 - Acer have confirmed a firmware update has now been made available to their service teams to address any issues people are facing with the activation of overdrive with FreeSync systems. The following statement was provided to us: "Customer service and experience are priorities for Acer. Customers owning an Acer XG270HU Monitor may potentially experience slower response times when connected over DisplayPort to FreeSync compatible graphic cards of the PC. When connecting to PCs with other graphic cards or connection options there is no impact on the performance and response time. Customers which believe they are experiencing a potentially slower response time than normal, may contact the nearest Acer Service Center for a firmware update."
I am wondering what I can do here, as I am using FreeSync and got the monitor specifically for that, but I have no idea if the monitor has already been updated as I just recieved it today, and I don't see any way to check the firmware myself, and I really don't want to have to send it off when I just got it today, but as I play a lot of shooters, that slow response time can be crucial.
It has a 90 day manufacturer warranty, and I suppose I can take it to an Acer service center and have them do it? But I don't see any concrete listings on the Acer site to find such a center, and how much it would cost, if anything since under warranty. I am in Springfield, MO.
BenQ XL2730Z
BenQ have confirmed that the FreeSync/AMA issue which affected their XL2730Z display has now been fixed. This issue caused the overdrive (AMA) feature to not function when the screen was connected to a FreeSync capable system. As a result, users could not make use of the AMA feature and benefit from the improved response times that the 'normal' AMA mode offered, as compared with AMA Off. See our review for more information.
A driver update from AMD is already available and should be downloaded from their website. In addition BenQ will be releasing a firmware update for the monitor itself to fix this issue. Current stocks in distribution are being recalled and updated with retailers so future purchases should already carry this new firmware. This is expected to apply for stock purchased AFTER 1st July, as V002 firmware screens should be shipped by BenQ to distributors in late June.
For those who already have an XL2730Z if you want to, you can return it to BenQ for them to carry out the firmware update for you. This only applies if the user is experiencing issues with the performance of the screen. There is no simple way for the end user to update the firmware themselves and it is not encouraged. Users should contact BenQ support through their relevant country website for more information on how to return their screen for the update.
This only applies in Europe and we do not have any information about how this update will be handled in other countries unfortunately. We would suggest contacting BenQ support for additional help if you need more information, now that a V002 firmware is in circulation.
You should be able to identify the firmware version you have by accessing the factory OSD menu (hold menu button while powering the screen on, then press menu). The Firmware version (F/W) should start with V001 or V002 and then a date. You are looking for V002 for the updated firmware.
