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.if you download the v2 firmware for XL2420Zfrom here http://gaming.benq.com/downloads/ the rar file is reported modified in 20/02/2014
