I would just donate the old one if it's just a capacitor.
If you're in Ontario/Quebec, Canada, I'll accept broken 144Hz or 240Hz monitors for free if it's going to the landfill anyway. Sometimes I need these for destructive experiments (e.g. testing maximum backlight voltage of common panels), or I'm able to repair them as spares, or for hacks (add strobed VRR via an Arudino like elexor did)

If you're in Europe, don't bother -- it'll cost $300 (A whole new monitor) just to ship a dead monitor to me.
Yeah I'm in europe, so it's not really an option to ship to you.
Would you mind giving me a recommendation for the next best alternative to the Viewsonic XG2431?
24"/27", IPS, 1080/1440p, >144hz
Saw your recommendation for the MSI MAG274QRF-QD but was wondering if there was anything better available currently.

I've been looking into the panel and found that the Dell S2721DGFA is using the same panel as the MSI MAG274QRF.
And from what I read the QC from Dell is > MSI currently.

Got the Alienware AW2721D in the back of my mind, but not sure if I want to spend that much on a monitor.

I contacted viewsonic about a release date of the XG2431 in germany but would the Dell or MSI be the next best options?

EDIT: Viewsonics response was that due to corona delays there is currently no certain ETA on the XG2431. They would make an announcement if they have a release date for europe.

New to this forum, I came here seeking almost the exact question h1tbox.

I always played on cheap 60hz monitors, I'm almost done with a new 5950X build with a RTX 3090 founders card.

My current quest is finding the best 2k 165hz+ monitor to go with it. I'm a competent IT person so tuning something should not be too hard (if there is a guide to follow)

Anyone run all these tests and could give me the best 3 gaming type monitor options or point me in the right direction?
