Raising contrast will expand the monitor's gamut but will start to show crosstalk/ghosting artifacts, and start washing out, and then the whites start clipping.

For ASUS VG278H, the highest monitor OSD contrast to use is about 90%, and for BENQ, it's usually 50% or 65% before the whites starts clipping. Then you have to calibrate via nVidia Control Panel (use Gamma 0.85 to make the colors nicer looking again).

Use LightBoost 50% or LightBoost 100%, you don't have to use LightBoost=10% if it is too dim and you can't tell apart LightBoost=10% versus LightBoost=100%. It's just a minor improvement compared to turning ON/OFF LightBoost.

P.S. Reminder to everyone, add multiple modes during strobelight-setup.exe. My Blur Busters Blog gets some google searches such as "remove strobelight" and "uninstall toasty strobe light" (including from places such as Germany and Russia); I think these foreigners (who can't read English well) are just installing only the default modes and don't realize they can't turn on/off if they had selected multiple modes in strobelight-setup.exe.
