Hello, I have spent several days scratching my head while trying to narrow down a issue that has risen since I used a I1Display Calibration device with ADC (Automatic Display Calibration/Control).
To begin see this video 22's in - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCC6O5ojbhI
*YouTube is taking ages for a small video file. So see DropBox Link here - https://www.dropbox.com/lightbox/home/BenQ%20Fault
I have a BenQ XL2420T DVI , Elgato HD60 HDMI, and a LG W2486 DP to DVI.
Now for over a year (pre calibration) I happily cloned the Elgato HD60 HDMI to my BenQ XL2420T DVI for streaming and game captures. I used adaptive vsync for the HD60 as my BenQ XL2420T was a 120fps monitor and could handle any additional frames without tearing.
Now the interesting/annoying part, I recently used a I1Display to calibrate my screen to sRGB standard. Everything went smooth and resulted in a profile being created/applied. It is fine with all forms of editing, program use and videos.
However... If I boot a fullscreen game I get that weird effect as shown above in the video. It has me curious as it is simply black, no buffered frames are repeating, just a pure dark abyss while the game operates fine behind the vial of blane. Additionally the Elgato HD60 capture from the HDMI does not show this, nor does Action! that records from the GPU buffer indicating a clear monitor problem to me.
I have tried factory resets, power resets, profile swapping, re calibrating. The only other thing I have noticed is the monitors default profiles are corrupted. Setting it to standard results in a almost pure green display.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am tempted to buy a new monitor anyways as my W2486 is rocking near 10 years old and has horrendous color representation, if it can even be called that.
*Forgot to add that turning all vsync off in nvidia control panel and ingame allow gameplay (with severe tearing on all sources). Normal Vsync limits this effect but rarely it still occurs, adaptive vsync makes this issue a common occurrence. I have done a complete reinstall and registry clean for a fresh install to end up with same issue.
*Further Update - Operating in 120fps (without a cloned signal) seems to be working fine so far. Soon as I clone the Elgato HD60 60fps signal to the BenQ that weird black tearing persists. Never had this before until the calibration. Will test more tomorrow. Seems odd that it is fine at 120 but starts blacking out when cloned from a 60 source.
