SAMSUNG 28" Odyssey G70A Black Screen Disconnect\Flicker

Post by kil3r » 22 Dec 2022, 00:09

The G70A gets a display signal lost\black screen for 2 seconds very often during gameplay when you have GSYNC Compatible on and a multi-monitor setup. If you only use the G70A alone with gsync on, you get black screens maybe once every day or so when playing games. Gsync off fixes the problem in general.

A reddit user captured what it looks like on video:

From my research, because this is a black screen issue and it has to do with gsync compatible, there is a decent chance that the issue is due to the lower side of the freesync range being too low.

Unfortunately I cannot change the range in CRU with this monitor let alone add any resolutions at all.

So i'm stuck after tons of troubleshooting. I've been running my single monitor setup for a while and i'm ready to go back. Does anyone have any ideas?
