2025 Update!

Surprisingly, the monitor worked well until now. Now, some type of hardware issue appeared.



What do you think? Fixable or not?

Might have been a battery-lengthening tweak for an underpowered processor that is a power hog. 54Hz uses less power than 60Hz, while looking almost as smooth.

Does motion look smooth at 54Hz?

I want to verify that this is a perfect 54Hz, not a perfect ...

I just bought a cheap Chinese tablet for reading books and whatnot. Surprisingly the reported refresh rate turns out to be 54 Hz, which I have never seen before. What is the meaning of this? My guess is the display is some type of factory reject, but I really have no idea. Maybe someone has an ...

Yes, be careful moving around the monitor.

The "electronic equivalent of a loose wire" is usually embedded inside the glass or panel so it is not user-fixable, and probably not professionally repairable either. If it happens again, and your warranty is expired, and you have nothing to lose by ...

This is what it used to look like, btw.

Temperature changes and panel settling can make a big difference in this kind of borderline defect.

That said, a tap on the monitor could also worsen things for this "electronic circuit equivalent of a loose wire" -- so be careful when moving around the monitor.


Alright, thanks! I'll be ...

This would probably be a borderline panel defect. One pixel column addressor glitched -- possibly address-line corruption or something similar that caused one vertical pixel row to go all black (zeros) for a single refresh cycle. Noise in address lines or data lines could have caused that to happen ...

A few months ago I bought an off-brand 4K monitor. It was particularly cheap because it had a visible vertical line defect and it was seemingly a permanent defect. So I thought: "for what I paid for it I can live with it, it's no big deal." But to my surprise, recently this vertical line started to ...

With the new GPU, I was trying to downclock the refresh rate of the monitor below 60 Hz - I set it to 59.95 Hz in CRU but the real refresh rate was 59.99 Hz, so it doesn't seem like I can go below that. I tried 60.003 Hz next to get it as close as possible to real 60 and that made the GPU clocks ...

I can confirm that it works. All I had to do was plug it in and G-SYNC got detected & enabled automatically.

Have fun. Welcome to lagless vsync (remeber to cap your FPS for this to happen, see the G-SYNC 101 article.)

It's soooo smoooth!
