My story begins in early december where i purchased the new ROG Strix XG27UQR a 27" 4K 144Hz Monitor that just released.
a few days in and i had a full 2-3cm row of blue pixels in the bottom right corner. a day later the Monitor barely worked and the Panel had random Lines appearing near the blue pixels.
i got a replacement which ran fine until new year. I was playing a game and noticed heavy flickering with Freesync when the refreshrate was below ~100 Hz.
after a restart of the monitor everything was fine again until the flicker came back the next morning at the desktop. (i tested known good cables that i used for my G7.)
the flicker was so strong that my eyes hurt from watching just in the direction of the monitor... ended up with a refund.
i bought a Gigabyte M32U (which seems to use the same Panel as the new Samsung Odyssey G7A) and it was a blast for around 4 weeks... until the panel + backlight went off for a couple seconds before it came back. (i have two monitors hooked up and the M32U was never disconnected while the panel went black)
first it was once every 1-2 days. after a week it was several times per day until it just shut off completely and never turned on again. (the monitor was still on since i saw it in the display settings from Windows 11 and i could move a window over from the second screen to the M32U.)
ended up with a RMA and they told me that the panel is indeed dead and unfixable.
got a refund again...
meanwhile my GL850 runs since i bought it around a month after it launched a couple years ago.
my G7 and my HP X27i is fine. but so far ALL 4K 144Hz Monitors i owned are dead.
does anyone else have similar experiences? because 3 out of 3 still baffles me...
