BenQ gave us explicit permission in year 2014 to post these firmware upgrade instructions.

Mstar USB D Install Via Linux

See BENQ America press release for info; C) Or install via Linux with no hardware tools, see forum thread; D) Or manually install the V2 Firmware yourself from Windows, by following the instructions below.

The easy unit connects to the computer via USB, and connects to the monitor via VGA.

Next, connect a VGA cable into the MSTAR ISP device (use the VGA port as pictured below), and plug the other end of the VGA cable into your BENQ Z-Series monitor.

NOTE: You may continue to keep your monitor connected to your PC via DVI or DP cable.

It is safe to continue using the same monitor you will be upgrading.

Select the firmware.BIN file that you downloaded and unzipped (in Step 3).

Your BENQ Z-Series monitor will automatically reset itself, show a purple BENQ splash screen for a few seconds, and then finish powering up.

To turn this off, turn off this mode by press the ENTER button and then RIGHT button on your Z-Series monitor to turn off burn-in mode.

When finished, power cycle your monitor (off-on) to allow Strobe Utility to work.

You should see Supported Monitor Found at the bottom-right corner of the window.

This will require using a different display, while upgrading the BENQ Z-Series.

Mstar USB D Software Included On

This appears to occur with both the download software, and the software included on CD.

To get immediate easy compatibility with Blur Busters Strobe Utility, you can get BENQ XL2411Z, XL2420Z or XL2720Z with firmware already guaranteed pre-installed.

I found a similar tool on aliexpress and I am wondering if this would work as well.

Does anyone know if this would work Link to the tool you can find in this link below: Thank you in advance.
