Teardown: LightBoost Reverse Engineering for Scientific Use

Marc Repnow (StrobeMaster), a researcher who maintains http://display-corner.epfl.ch, did a BENQ XL2411T tear-down and a BENQ XL2420T tear-down. He discovered how to modify LightBoost electronics, for use for scientific tachistoscopic applications.  Apparently, XL2411T’s can be used as an inexpensive scientific tachistoscope, thanks to LightBoost!
