The popping goes away after a few months of usage. Do any owners who have had a G9 screen for 6+ months still get popping? I would be surprised if so...
I've had mine for about 7 months. It's really funny, I genuinely thought it had stopped popping, but when I read your comment and sat and listened, it does still do it. I must have just got used to it and been ignoring it.
To be honest, from what I've read so far the biggest disappointment with the Neo sounds like the HDR support, which should be it's biggest strength. I imagine that they should be able to to fix it with drivers/firmware etc though.
I have to say, I have had all the other issues that people complain about with my G9 (scanlines etc.), but it doesn't bother me and I'd still buy one again. For me, it's just by far the best screen. Does need more connections though!
