Should I warranty the monitor or live with 144Hz? 240Hz Freesync "on" flickers without VRR It appears that if a lot of green textured content is moving slowly across the screen at high FPS (scrolling slowly over grass in RTS game like Age of Empires, going through forest in Minecraft) it glitches out. Faint scanlines are visible during scenes where screen tends to black out
After screen blacks out Local Dimming still works and reacts to the movie being played Local Dimming, low input lag and other monitor settings Using different ports on monitor or GPU SDR or HDR, 8bit or 10 bit, RGB or YCbCr, 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 (display port output encoding is irrelevant) Selecting VRR control "On": Black screens - no recovery (at any refresh rate). Lowering refresh rate using Windows but leaving 240Hz in OSD and Freesync "Off": Black screens - no recovery. Selecting 240Hz and Freesync "Off": Black screens - no recovery. Selecting Freesync "On" and 240Hz in OS: Black screens - but recovers after a second. Selecting Freesync "On" and lowering to 144Hz in OS: No issues - plays correct. Lowering refresh rate to 144Hz using monitor OSD and Freesync "Off" : No issues - plays correct. I was able to glitch out using Firefox too but it took way more loops. Why Edge? Somehow it provides the most fluid playback (and very good web stream HDR support) that triggers the monitor.
It will glitch after 5-10 loops through that scene.

Screen going black and not recovering (or recovering - read below). I have the same issue with my 27' G7 monitor. Thanks in advance to anyone that gives me advice or anything else to try that I may have missed. Although I did also try changing the DP version on the Monitor to 1.2 with no luck.
As I am writing this I have found out about a firmware update for my GPU that supposedly solves an issue on my GPU with DisplayPort 1.3/1.4, I havent tested this yet.HDR is not turned on (not available on my GPU anyway).
