XG270HU firmware update

KrazyAttack,

Could you provide me a link to where you read that message, I am not currently aware of what you are referring to in your post and would like to research this with our engineers.

KrazyAttack,

Thanks for the link, I do not see anything on my end, I will see what I can find out for you.

KrazyAttack,

I received your message, thanks, I have passed along a request to have an individual contact you in regards to this.

Justin - I'm also wondering if my XG270HU has the latest firmware update. I can't tell if it's placebo since I found out about this, or my input is actually less responsive with FreeSync. I purchased this monitor today so I'm hopeful it has the update but who knows. I tried messaging you but I lack the permission.

That is really disappointing to hear. Paying out-of-pocket shipping seems pretty ridiculous on top of what we've already paid. I'm thankful I spent a little bit more and got this at MicroCenter, so I have the ability to return it without any hassel. My biggest fear would be to receive it with dead pixels or a problem that wasn't there before.

Hello, I bought this monitor (XG270HU) I believe back in May of this year, the first day it was available for retail in my area. Although originally I didn't have a card that supported freesync (I had a 7950 before and I suppose I missed the tidbit about GCN 1.0 not being supported), I did recently upgrade to a 390X so I could use the freesync functionality. But I did notice significant ghosting when using this feature (especially at lower frame rates) and I stumbled upon this thread after researching the issue that it's possible that OD is not functioning properly with the displayport while freesync is enabled. I would be interested to know if I would benefit from a firmware update, and how to go about doing so.

Thanks,

Benjamin.

Hey, just for reference in the visual difference I'm seeing, here's too pictures I tried to awkwardly snap with my phone. The left is with HDMI at 60Hz, the right is DP at 60Hz and freesync enabled (although disabling freesync doesn't seem to change the ghosting). The trail the alien leaves is significantly worse with DP.

I don't even preceive the ghosting that appears in the picture that I took when using HDMI, it looks fine in real-time. But the DP ghosting is very noticable in real-time, although when I'm running at 144Hz as opposed to 60Hz (as I did in this case for a more apples-to-apples comparison to HDMI), the ghosting effect is still there but not nearly as pronounced.

Same problem as the others, thought I would be able to deal with the ghosting as everything else on the monitor is great, but its becoming too much to bear.  At this point I'm almost looking forward to sending it in and using my old samsung 120hz.  Bought back in May through newegg so I'm sure its the old firmware, and its connected to a R9 290x.

I appreciate the suggestion but I've read that one and those guys appear to be having a different issue entirely.  In my case freesync is working, its just when I connect to the monitor over displayport the overdrive doesn't work at all leading to some very noticable ghosting.  Essentially the same issue tftcentral.co.uk reported on their review sample of the XG270HU.

I have an accell displayport cable as well as the amphenol one supplied with the monitor, both VESA certified and both giving the same results, no change to response time when changing the overdrive settings.  However when using hdmi the overdrive does noticably change the response time, but obviously I can't use freesync nor 144hz with hdmi.  It appears the firmware version I have is {15 01 23 -01}, thanks for the link, I had no clue how to find this.
