XG2431 Horizontal Lines when not in 239.761 Hz

Post by Dewl » 22 Apr 2024, 19:00

Tried different OS (Linux) but noticed the issue using Win10. Tried different cables.

When I turn the monitor on/off the Viewsonic splash screen also has horizontal lines.

Any suggestions?

Looks like the 240hz setting also started producing the same lines or worse. As of today the monitor has failed and will not produce a normal image at any Hz. It was a great ride, loved using this thing. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like the reliability of the XG2431 has improved since release. Is this still the best value 240Hz monitor to buy despite the high probability of issues or is there something better in the $200-500 price range?

benQ seems to also have a lot of complaints about broken Zowie monitors aswell

From my understanding all these strobing focused monitors use extreme voltage to power the LEDs to get acceptable brightness while strobing maybe thats the reason so many of them fail
