Commonly Reported Issues
Owner Feedback Note: The issues listed below are compiled and summarized from community reports, buyer reviews, and public forums. They represent aggregated user experiences rather than lab-tested hardware defects. Individual units may vary.
Flickering at 144Hz with G-Sync enabled
Intermittent flickering or brightness fluctuations occur when running at 144Hz with G-Sync/FreeSync enabled, especially in dark scenes or menus. Lowering the refresh rate to 120Hz or disabling VRR typically mitigates the issue.
HDMI 2.1 bandwidth limitations causing display issues
HDMI 2.1 ports may fail to fully support 4K at 144Hz with 10-bit color and HDR enabled simultaneously, resulting in blank screens or signal dropouts. Adjusting chroma subsampling or switching to DisplayPort often resolves it.
Uniformity and backlight bleed
Mild backlight bleed or uneven uniformity appears near the corners when viewing dark content in a pitch-black room. This varies by unit and falls within typical IPS panel behavior.
