Hello,

Just wanted to make sure that a Benq XL2420Z monitor that was manufactured in April 2014 will have v2 firmware installed. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!
 
Solution
yes! as it appears you can safely buy that monitor from your local store since the s/n is newer!! that pdf turned out to be very enlightening!
your XL2420z has v2 firmware preinstalled!

''Note: Only BENQ/Amazon USA/Amazon Canada is confirmed consistently V2 firmware.''

if you download the v2 firmware for XL2420Z from here http://gaming.benq.com/downloads/ the rar file is reported modified in 20/02/2014

Thank you for your input. I would have bought from amazon but the shipping costs are really high + the wait time.

Now that is interesting, the v2 announcement was made on 21-03-2014. Altough I think I have solved the problem. I recently got this photo from a local shop of a model they have. I also have just found this piece of a life saver. It seems I'm good to buy this monitor.

Was looking for something like that pdf thanks, but what is weird is that the XL2720z monitor I saw has a SN of ETF8E06320SL0 which according to the pdf is eligible for upgrade, yet it is manufactured in August 2014

Confusing
 


i think this is due to possible delay till actuall v2 models hit the selves! thats why ''Only BENQ/Amazon USA/Amazon Canada is confirmed consistently V2 firmware'' back in Aplril. however im pretty comfident that even a monitor manufactured in Eupore, in August must have v2 preinstalled! thats four month after v2 firmware started being applied in manufacturing!
