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.
HDMI 2.1 lacks full 48 Gbps bandwidth at 4K 144Hz
HDMI 2.1 ports cap at 40 Gbps, causing 4K 144Hz with 10-bit color to drop to 4:2:2 chroma subsampling or force 120Hz. Use DisplayPort for full bandwidth.
Noticeable backlight bleed and IPS glow in corners
IPS glow and light bleed appear in all four corners, especially during dark content in dim rooms. Typical for IPS, but severity varies by unit.
Local dimming causes flicker in HDR with VRR
Flickering occurs when local dimming is active in HDR mode, especially during rapid brightness transitions or with VRR enabled. Disable local dimming or switch to SDR to eliminate.
