H276HL BMID Flickering near the bottom.

andrewh · May 2015

I recently purchased a H276HL BMID and after 2weeks it started flickering on the bottom 1/4 of the screen. I tested each of the HDMI/DVI/VGA inputs from my desktop and laptop. I proceeded to test the monitor on a different wall outlet in the home and made sure no to flip the breakers for the Central AC/Stove/Washer/Dryer/Microwave/Water Heater/Fridge and tested again and got the same result. I proceeded to exchage the monitor (which I had to drive 1.5hours do to only one store having a single monitor instock) and no less than 4hours later it stated doing the exact same thing in the exact same spot. I tested this monitor aswell in the same fashion but included using No sources and allowed the "No Signal" box to make its way down the monitor (since I can't perceive it on a 100% black screen) and when the blue box got to that area I could see it still flickering. This is a video I recorded of the issue along with my brother-in-law talking about the NFL draft in the background. I'm not sure what to do other than to return this monitor aswell but a total of 6hrs (1.5hrs each direction to the store and back) of driving and $30 in gas spent thus far I'm very upset as this is my first Acer purchase (LCD's with a Glossy screen are hard to find).
