Benq XL2730z keeps loosing settings once its powered off.

Hi

Just bought this screen, its nice but the default colour settings are like looking at a lightbulb.

Once I set it up the way I want it and save the settings, its fine until I turn off the PC.

Googling this suggested removing the Benq software that came with it, Display Pilot. When I try to remove it , I get an error message saying it cant be removed.

Anyone any experience with these issues?

What about a firmware update for it?

Hi.
I will check that later on. Might be the issue oddly the benq software says its up to date. Not sure if that looks at firmware or not though.

Just checked, this one has the new firmware update.

Will keep googling. Its an odd one as its probably something simple too

You don't have msi software for your Mb?

I had and when I stopped it auto launching then the settings stopped changing!

Its a great screen and it took a bit of reading but I found the solution in the end.
Will link it later when im home.

If your thinking of getting one, I recommend it alot. Lovely bright screen with good colors. Its not an IPS but its a really good TN one and after a while you wont notice any difference.

Thanks for the reply.

I bought one. It should be with me on Wednesday on. It seems to have a few quirks,but once its sorted out it seems to be about the best screen around. From extensive reading I have done over the past few months ,the Ips screens seem to be broke this gen around. I was gonna get one of them but reverted back to this gen Tn .

Congrats

Change the brightness the minute you take it out of the box. Its set at 100 which is about 60 too high.
Once you get past that , its a lovely screen, well made and feels solid.

That is an amazing price for the build quality and what it can do. Just make sure your gpu is beefy enough for it and your laughing for the next few years.

I have a 290. I'll upgrade to the Vega when they come about...probably. I tried an xfire 290 setup for a few weeks,but decided against it as my rig was pulling over 500watts ingame and more like 650+ in 3d mark.

Redfox25

A 290 will do it well enough, might need to lower some of the settings to hit the 120+ fps.

I got my monitor and it is very nice.

Problem is ...I didn't get a Displayport cable included. Nowhere in Waterford has one in stock either...Damn.

Thats odd, mine came with a full bag of leads.

Redfox,

Any chance you'd post the link of why the settings were changing?
