Hi, I have an out of warranty XB271HU and when ever I come out of standby there is banding that shows up in the lower left hand corner of the monitor. The banding eventually fades away after 5 minutes but this is consistent every time. It happens when the monitor is not overclocked and when it is over clocked. Any suggestions? New firmware? I have tried the factory reset and here is my specs:

FW version 20160526_0_2434_14
HW revison 264

    Varroa,

    Monitor self test,

    1. Power OFF the unit.
    2. Unplug all the cables.
    3. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
    4. Turn ON the unit and check.

    Thanks for getting back to me so fast, I will give that a try later today and let you know. However, I have a feeling this won't help since I have had the monitor unplugged previously for various desk upgrades and it was still there after plugging everything back in.

    I'd lean toward hardware wanting to warm up before it works right. Since you are out of warranty I'd just monitor it to see if it gets worse before contacting a tech for repairs. Likely it is in the power board, since that is the most likely to have components that are temperature sensitive.

    Maybe, but it doesn't happen from a cold start which should happen if that was the case.

    Strange, I haven't noticed the banding after the factory reset, I will keep my eye open and update this thread if it comes back. Thanks for everybodies input!
