Yeah its weird, when I bought this 27UL850 lots of people were talking about backlight bleed etc and mine has absolutely zero. I just took a photo of my monitor with a black screen and the image looks very bad, absolutely nothing like real life, which is almost completely black. I think sometimes issues do not come across accurately online.

If I turn off all the lights, my keyboard LEDs, my monitors, the backlight, just have a black screen on the 27GP950 the only thing I can observe with the camera on my phone is my own relflection blocking out the ambient light lol, with the naked eye I can't even see that...
A couple of days further in impressions (Used about 20 hours total):
I've had 2 black screens so far, only on the 160hz overclock settings, only on a game that is capped at 60fps, during a cutscene where I'm pretty certain it was at 30fps or lower. (Genshin Impact).
In 144hz in any situation? No black screen.
In a normal game on either 144hz or 160hz? No black screen.
That being said there's an isolated power outlet near me with nothing plugged in so I'll test that theory out.
HDR is pretty damn good, demo videos look ******* amazing and HDR-enabled games look great. Windows 11 Auto-HDR does a good job, but the rest of windows makes HDR actually annoying to have. Screenshotting Chrome results in ugly af images etc.

The people in this thread seem to be having very similar issues. Many with LG monitors.

Away for a couple of weeks now but i've previously had fps_max at set numbers and it didn't make any difference. Hence i went for 0 uncapped in the end.
As for MSI AB, i've used for donkeys years and seemingly without issue. Couldn't be without it for undervolting, overclocking , overlays (+HWiNFO) and a custom fan curves.
I have full screen optimisation turned off globally (reg edit below), Xbox / GameDVR service turned off and W10 game mode off.

Isolated power socket makes no difference it seems.
It's failing regularly on Genshin Impact which is locked to 60FPS and in a window, so I doubt Fullscreen enhancements are causing it. I'll disable G-Sync entirely and see if that helps anything.

Yikes, that's not great. Lucikly the 27GN850 I bought as a stop gap has none. I thought it was pretty rare on panels these days to get dead pixels. Last one I had was a direct from Dell and they swapped it immediately for 1 dead pixel.
I'll open pre-orders around lunchtime tomorrow and keep open until I see we've reached more than our expected next intake. This isn't an exact science so please be patient and if I'm late I'll email everyone who is likely to miss out to see if they want to keep their pre-order or cancel.
We should receive 200 units this month (ETA is second week of August but waiting on confirmation from forwarder), with around 10% of those already reserved for those who missed out July.
I've been told to expect no more until October after this.
I'll post here the same time I enable pre-orders. If the buy button isn't live for you then try "ctrl-F5", not "alt-F4".

I've got this monitor connected to my MacBook Pro, and also my Xbox Series X. I've not had a single black screen, and it's working flawlessly. No connection issues at all. I am using my own cables and not the ones provided though.
The only time I see the screen go blank is when the Xbox switches to the HDR video mode when launching a game, but that's the Xbox, not the monitor.

Can anyone tell me if this monitor will be ok at 1440p thanks
it doesn't scale correctly because its not evenly divisible by the 4k pixel count, it can look blurry or just wrong. you can scale to 1080p tho but why would you...
Would 1440p be ok on my desk top /Then game at 4k

i dont understand your logic with that, why is 4k an issue at the desktop but not for gaming?
Not so good eyesight
My 1440p monitor's desktop's scale is set at 150%
Most Operating Systems have accessibility options where you can change the scaling used, so you can run at 4K with scaling applied in the OS to make things easier to read.

I had an Acer X27p (developed a screen fault they couldnt repair or replace, so refunded) im back using my 1080p screen, its not fun, everything is better in 4k and as others said, just use screen scale which increases size of fonts etc
