innolux lcd panel firmware update manufacturer

This package contains the LCD Panel Firmware Update Utility. The LCD firmware accepts data and commands from either a serial or a parallel interface and enables the display to generate text or an image.

Dell Technologies recommends reviewing this update to determine if it applies to your system. The update contains changes that impact only certain configurations or provides new features that may or may not apply to your environment.

Every new screen will need a new piece of RTD2483AD firmware written for it, with timing information for the specific screen. This will need to be flashed to the chip. Basically, with no access to RTD2483AD source code or spec, there is no way to reprogram the stock rift to possibly work with a different panel. If the RTD2483AD can"t hit 148.5MHz (which it probably can"t, the 2482AD is spec"d to 85MHz.), there is no point to even bothering with it anyway.

So, what about getting a new LVDS controller? That"s a great idea, but sadly the only workable LVDS 7" 1080p panel I can find is not in stock anywhere. I believe that none of the panels have been shipped from the manufacturer. The panel is KOE TX18D200VM0EAA. What"s great about that panel is that it is Single Channel LVDS (running at 148.5MHz), the timing information is known, I know where to get already built connectors for it, and it would be easy enough to write new firmware for it. Realtek RTD2662 boards are cheap, run single or dual link LVDS to 170MHz, and have flashers available. Problem is the panel doesn"t exist yet! It says Q4 2013, but that"s a lie :(.

MIPI panels are much easier to find! There"s plenty out there right now. Unfortunately, the standard is closed and it is new. There"s barely any boards out there, and there"s not much in the way of firmware either. The few boards that exist are expensive too!

Basically, I"m stuck right now. If that KOE panel became available for a reasonable price, I would do it in a heartbeat. Need that or a better MIPI board!

Oh, by the way, it is possible to get a 5.5" and 5.9" MIPI screen up and running. Two people on the MTBS3D boards have done it. One with a custom MIPI board, one with a Chinese MIPI board he said was expensive. Doesn"t seem like the Chinese MIPI board has any firmware written for a 7" panel right now, so you would have a reduced FOV.

Ah I forgot about the timing. That"s the same panel I was wanting to get actually. I take it you got a quote from KOE and they said it"s unavailable atm? I hadn"t quoted them yet and thought they would have stock, but you must have been a few steps ahead of me. The only other option is getting the Kindle Fire HDX 7" screen. Then I would also have to get a MIPI board as you have mentioned. More research for me because I don"t know any more than you do about setting up the MIPI configuration yet. Idk why you would want to use a 5.5" or 5.9" screen though when there"s an available 7" 1920x1200 MIPI screen.

I made a mistake trying to firmware update one of my units that temporarily b0rked the unit, but repeating it over HDMI instead of DisplayPort solved my problem, as well as making sure my USB cable was connected BEFORE I launched the upgrader software. But in this mistake I made some accidental discoveries.

Precedent; I have MSTAR ISPs (same ISP as used to upgrade BenQ XL2720Z) and those work well with firmware updating too. The firmware upgrade instructions were publicized by BenQ and BenQ also authorized the Blur Busters instructions. I’ve been using the MSTAR ISP method with almost every desktop monitor panel; this firmware upgrade protocol has been defacto supplier-standardized even if not always released to end users.

But now monitors are more complicated today, and firmware upgrades are needed more often, and now end users get to firmware upgrade more brands more often. Which reveals some of these firmware upgrade standardization.

Now, Eve happened to send me the very exact same MSTAR ISP during the Eve Spectrum DVT prototype (before it supported USB firmware upgrade). These are little hardware dongles that go between the computer and the monitor, so that the firmware upgrade can be injected as I2C signals over DDC on the HDMI connector. Windows OS does not support doing this natively, but Linux OS does, so you can skip the dongle for Linux – so a non-USB Linux upgrader can probably be done as a bash shell script today.

Today, even the MP unit seems to still support upgrade via an MSTAR ISP – but that’s completely optional because Eve Spectrums support firmware upgrade via 2 methods (via USB, and via DDC I2C). Which means DIY firmware upgrade installers can be written by a software developer outside of Eve, because of what has been publicly written in Blur Busters Forums.

Just in case you’re an old owner of a BenQ XL2720Z monitor and still have the MSTAR ISP lying around from 2014 or so – the same ISP worked to firmware update the EVE Spectrum, too.

I bet Linux firmware upgrade is possible through the Linux instructions for BenQ Zowie XL2720Z monitors that are posted in the BenQ area of the forums. They are a bit complex but fortunately the Linux method does not require an MSTAR ISP.

There’s a big instructions thread for Linux installation of monitor firmwares onto BenQ monitors on Blur Busters Forums which probably can be followed for Linux users to successfully install firmware on Eve Spectrums, but there is also a bricking-risk (you’ve been forewarned).

Firmware upgrade protocol is typically MSTAR standard on most desktop monitors, even when it’s an AOC or Innolux or LG panel. The industry internally standardized on a DDC I2C protocol that now has an MSTAR-standardized USB equivalent. We know this today because (A) the Eve upgrader installs firmware over USB, and (B) the MSTAR ISP upgrade installs firmware over HDMI.

Eve Spectrums support firmware upgrade via both DDC (via HDMI) and via USB, as successfully tested at Blur Busters Lab, so I am 90% sure the Linux instructions for BenQ-ZOWIE monitors will also work on EVE Spectrums, without needing to purchase an MSTAR ISP dongle (required for non-USB firmware upgrades under Windows 10).

An all-in-one Linux utility will be very useful, but today, an advanced Linux users should be able to figure out how to install a .BIN file onto an Eve Spectrum using similiar shell commands used for other monitors (BenQ ZOWIE) since it’s the same DDC I2C firmware upgrade protocol.

In this article, you will find the latest news regarding monitor panel development by the three biggest monitor panel manufacturers, which include LG, Samsung, and AU Optronics, as well as Innolux, BOE and Sharp.

For news regarding OLED panels, check out our dedicated guide about OLED monitors, though the most exciting upcoming models will be included here too.

Here, you can see panel developments by popular manufacturers, such as AUO, LG, Samsung, Innolux, etc. Keep in mind that the dates in the tables below imply when the said panel should go into mass production and that these dates may change.

Just like LG’s ‘IPS Black’ panels, BOE is developing IPS-type panel technology with an increased static contrast ratio of 2,000:1, which they call ‘True Black’ IPS.

Below, you will find more information about new monitors by various popular manufacturers. Some of these monitors use the above-mentioned panels, but it’s unknown what panel will be used for most of them. Click on the monitor manufacturer to jump to their models.

It uses an IPS Black panel by LG Display with a high 2,000:1 static contrast ratio, 178° wide viewing angles, a wide 99% DCI-P3 color gamut and DisplayHDR 600 certification.

The Lenovo ThinkVision P49w-30 is a 49″ 5120×1440 super-ultrawide monitor based on LG’s IPS Black panel with a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, 60Hz, 4ms GtG response time, 178° viewing angles, HDR10 support and 350-nit peak brightness.

Corsair revealed a 45″ ultrawide bendable OLED display with a 3440×1440 resolution, variable refresh rate support (FreeSync Premium Pro, G-SYNC Compatible, HDMI 2.1 VRR) and a 240Hz refresh rate! The Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 is based on LG’s W-OLED panel and can be bent between 800R to completely flat.

Other specifications include instantaneous pixel response time and infinite contrast ratio thanks to the OLED panel, as well as a high 1,000-nit peak brightness and a wide 99% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage.

ASUS also announced a 27″ 1440p 240Hz OLED gaming monitor, thePG27AQDM based on the same OLED panel as the LG 27GR95QE. However, ASUS’ model will also feature a heatsink, which will allow it to achieve a bit higher brightness.

The ASUS ProArt PA32DCM is a 32″ 4K 60Hz professional monitor based on JOLED’s OLED panel with the regular RGB subpixel layout for sharp text without any fringing artifacts.

The MSI MEG342C QD-OLED is a 34″ 3440×1440 175Hz ultrawide curved gaming monitor based on the same panel as the Dell AW3423DW and the Samsung Odyssey G85SB.

Another interesting model is the Philips 42M2N8900 42″ 4K 120Hz (138Hz OC) gaming monitor based on LG’s W-OLED panel. Unlike ASUS’ model, it has a USB-C port with 90W PD and a stand with height, tilt and swivel adjustment! It will be available in January 2023 for €1960.

Philips also announced the 27M2CS500W model with a 27″ 1440p 240Hz 1000R curved VA panel, but no word on other specifications, such as HDR support and pixel response time speed. It will also be available in January 2023, for €579.

No word on availability yet, while the price should be around $1,070, which is good news considering that the LG 27EP950 with a similar panel goes for $3,000, though LG’s model also supports hardware calibration.

The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC) is a 49″ 5120×1440 240Hz super-ultrawide gaming monitor with a QD-OLED panel, sporting a wide color gamut, an infinite contrast ratio and an instantaneous pixel response time speed.

More information to come, but expect variable refresh rate support, triangular RGB subpixel layout and a semi-glossy panel coating like the one on the AW3423DW/F.

Samsung announced a 43″ 4K 144Hz gaming monitor with a flat-screen VA panel and a QDEF (quantum dot enhanced film) layer sporting a high native contrast ratio, a wide 95% DCI-P3 color gamut and 1ms MPRT (GtG response time not specified).

It uses a 3000R curved VA panel with DisplayHDR 400, FreeSync Premium, 1ms MPRT and a 165Hz refresh rate (170Hz OC). No word on a release date yet, while the price should be around $700.

The Acer Predator X32FP is probably one of the most anticipated monitors that’s been recently announced. It’s based on a fast IPS panel by AU Optronics, sporting a rapid 1ms GtG response time speed, 4K UHD resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.

However, the X32FP is based on a faster panel and since it doesn’t have a G-SYNC module, you’ll get HDMI 2.1, USB-C, PiP/PbP support and no integrated fan (which can be noisy and fail after some time) at a lower price.

The AOC AGON AG275QXN is the first gaming monitor announced with a flat-screen VA panel and a 1ms GtG pixel response time speed. It’s a 27″ 1440p 165Hz display DisplayHDR 400 and FreeSync support.

It’s unclear which VA panel the monitor is using and, of course, it remains yet to be seen if it’s just a misleading measure achieved by unrealistic test conditions. This at least gives some hope to those who want a VA monitor with a fast response time speed, but don’t like the aggressively curved Samsung models.

It’s PG32UQX monitor with similar specifications goes for $3,000 yet it features a slower IPS panel without HDMI 2.1 or USB-C connectivity, though it has a dedicated G-SYNC module.

The AOC Q24G2 is a 24″ 1440p 165Hz gaming monitor based on an IPS panel by BOE with 99% sRGB color gamut, a 350-nit peak brightness, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, FreeSync support and MBR.

It’s actually the first 24″ 1440p monitor with a high refresh rate and an IPS panel, which many gamers, who find 27″ sized screens to be too big and 1080p resolution too low, have been waiting for.

ViewSonic also specifies a 1ms MPRT response time speed, but GtG and panel type remain unknown at the moment. The monitor should be available in November 2022 for $1,500.

ViewSonic also announced the XG272-2K model with a 27″ 1440p 400Hz 1ms IPS panel! It will feature FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC Compatible certifications for smooth VRR performance as well as a USB-C port with 90W PD and DP Alt Mode.

All four models can be configured with black or white panel and stand, and can be purchased with or without the stand, or with a single or dual monitor arm.

Dough (previously known as Eve) announced a 27″ 1440p 240Hz monitor based on LG’s W-OLED panel. Unlike theLG 27GR95QE and the ASUS PG27AQDM with matte anti-glare screen coatings, the Dough Spectrum ES07E2D will feature a glossy screen surface for a more vivid (but also more reflective) image quality.

HP announced a 44.5″ 5120×1440 165Hz ultrawide monitor with a 1500R curved VA panel, sporting a 3000:1 contrast ratio, a 3ms GtG specified response time speed, a 400-nit peak brightness and 99% sRGB color gamut.

The Cooler Master Tempest GP27U. It also goes for $800, but has the same issues the GP27U before its firmware update – VRR only works up to 144Hz and local dimming and VRR cannot work simultaneously, though KTC says they will release a firmware update.

BOE revealed a new 27″ 1080p monitor with a refresh rate of 500Hz+. A 1ms response time speed and true 8-bit color depth are specified as well. No word on other specs or release date/pricing, but we’ll update the article as soon as something new comes up.
