  • I also have some (pretty rare) backlight flickering near the left edge. There's almost no chance that the nvidia drivers have any control over it, but it's a fault in the monitor itself. I've been meaning to get a replacement under warranty, but frankly I'm worried that the new monitor might have bigger faults...

  • NO, I don't believe Variable Refresh Rate over HDMI is supported. It's different from FreeSync in its implementation. So unless some tech specs explicitly mention it or it gets added in a firmware upgrade, assume that it won't be supported.

  • Interesting. I do believe you, a radio transmitter close to electronic circuits can cause them to go haywire. I suspect the displayport cables are shielded well enough that they aren't a problem if they go near a router, but the monitor itself may be susceptible. It's worth a try for anyone with this problem. But my…

  • Well now that you reminded me of this thread, I can happily say that the glitches have been gone for a long while now. I didn't do anything special to fix it, so I assume the Nvidia drivers were initially buggy with Freesync, and later updates to the drivers have fixed the problems.

  • I only bought the monitor just as they arrived in stores, and Nvidia's freesync support had just landed. I'm gonna need the freesync to work though, otherwise the monitor isn't that great for me :)

  • No, I thought it helped (Nvidia drivers specifically) but the problem isn't gone. Do you have the same monitor and is it working fine?

  • Well, I take that back, I've seen some blackouts again. Maybe I was just lucky for a longer while? Let's see. I'm still hoping to hear from other owners of this monitor: do you get blackouts or does it work perfectly? Do you have Freesync enabled or not, and do you use Nvidia or AMD graphics cards?

  • This issue seems to have gone away now, I haven't seen any blackouts any more. But I sometimes see a little glitch, like a bar of corrupted pixels, blink once and then disappear for a long time. It's probably the same random glitch that previously resulted in the blackout, but now it's become almost too small to notice.…

  • Keep it muted? Or test if you can use its built-in speakers to play some audio from the PC, and see if that has any effect on the beeping.

  • The limits of DisplayPort 1.4 make it so that 4k 120Hz RGB (no chroma subsampling) is only possible with 8-bit colors. You can do about 98Hz with 10-bit colors, or you can get higher refresh rates and 10-bit colors by using chroma subsampling which is no good for desktop use. Your Mac is lying to you or you're interpreting…
