Faint horizontal scan lines at 144/120 hz
Posted: 05 Nov 2017, 18:27
Hoping I can get some advice on whether to return a monitor. I built a new gaming rig last week with a GTX 1080, and finally took a step into the 144hz world with an ASUS 24" VG248QE. The monitor looks great aside from some very faint horizontal scan lines in the bottom left quarter of the screen. They are equivalent in frequency, and seem to simply alternate rows with one row being a tad lighter/darker than the rest. At 120hz they become more faint, and at 60hz they aren't noticeable. I don't notice them a ton while gaming, but if I look at the bottom left corner of the screen at my HUD, I can definitely see it.
I'm curious if this is a consistent issue with 144hz monitors, and if some variation in these panels is to be expected?
For nearly $300, I was expecting a fairly perfect display, and don't know if I should try swapping this a second time to spin the monitor lotto wheel again.
Any thoughts on this? I did some searching and can’t determine if this is a defect or a known challenge I need to be okay with. When I sit back a bit it’s hardly noticeable, but definitely visible at normal viewing distances and more pronounced as you get closer.
Thanks!
