I am using your Strobelight since around 2015 when I bought my xl2411t. Since then I loved every second of it. Sadly now days GPU's don't have any DVI connection anymore. Last week I upgraded from a GTX 1070 TI to a RTX 4070 TI and hooked my xl2411t with the Club 3D CAC-1010 active Adapter DisplayPort to DVI-D HDCP ON to the my new GPU. Everything is working fine besides I can't use your Strobelight tool anymore. The program tells me: no required monitor found / no compatible monitor found

any idea how I could get it back to work with your tool? Since I am experiencing really, really low blackbleeding? but it's kinda driving me nuts since I never had this issue. I also already tried getting rid of it with tweaking RGB, Gamma und Monitor settings.

Initializing the monitor won't work with the adapter, but you can use HDMI to initialize if necessary. Don't install the refresh rates with HDMI. Just run strobelight.exe and ignore the message about refresh rates. Once the monitor is initialized, it will stay initialized unless the monitor is unplugged or loses power (you can still turn it off). Then you can use the monitor with the adapter after installing the refresh rates as you would normally, but to run Strobelight as a refresh rate switcher, you will need to skip the initialization part by downloading this and renaming it to strobelight-skip.exe: https://www.monitortests.com/strobelight-d2.zip

So, I tried. Plugged in HDMI /w PC. Did run Strobelight.exe (the normal one) it did initialized but gave me an error like you said. Replugged DVI, did run Strobelight-setup.exe. Installed rates and rebooted. Tried to reintialized with strobelight-skip but didnt worked - still no compatible found.

Dunno. Maybe its just me who's imaging something is off. But when I look in black corners it doesn't feel right. It feels not what I used to. Also what i meant with blackbleeding, I guess i meant artifacts. Its not smooth like it was when Strobelight was working w/o adapter.

Nvm I got it to work now. Dunno how redid everything and it works now Monitor OSD shows me 3d Mode again =)
