Gigabyte AORUS FO32U2P Flat QD-OLED: 32" 4K 240Hz with DisplayPort 2.1, KVM

[CrazyGreggy]

Just had a scary moment with mine. Computer wouldn't boot, VGA LED on the mobo stayed lit. Rang OCUK support, Patrick was an absolute god as we slowly went through the various processes. I tried:

Plugging my laptop into it via HDMI - wouldn't go past 1080p.

Connecting to the onboard graphics via HDMI, no joy, wouldn't even bring up the input select via the joystick.

Connected my second monitor via DisplayPort direct (rather than daisy chained) - PICTURE! At least the GFX card hasn't died!

Changed the DP 2.1 cable for one I had bought a while back for diagnostic purposes, still 1080p but hey, picture from the 7900XTX on the FO32U2P!

Factory reset the monitor - BOOM, 4k again @ 60hz. Manually set it to 240 and it kept working.

Switched the cables back around to daisy chain, still working.

Rebooted the entire system with my heart in my mouth, success.

Frankly, scared the bejeesus out of me. Anyone ever had to do all that on any monitor and had it run smoothly thereafter or was this the sign of impending failure?

Thanks for pointing that out @carrot1401 I've applied

Just a heads up I got mine just now, 60 euros worth (3x 20 codes) that works out at £51.96 of Steam credit Nice little bonus considering I paid £705 for mine

Still a fantastic monitor and so glad I went for it!!

Thanks for the heads up and funny you should say that, I logged mine when i posted but nothing for the 10 day SLA they have in the portal... so I chased it through another Gigabyte portal system and they sent 60 euro's today also.

I was going to come back in here and ask if you got 100 euro as that's what it says on the site... "up to 100 EUR" but dosen't call out any detail.

Yeah I saw the up to bit, but I also saw it included some fancy laptops. Still, I wasn't expecting anything and got over £50 so can't complain!!

What settings are you guys using for HDR? I keep flicking between modes on PC/PS5 and I'm not sure which I prefer.

I've updated to the latest firmware, and using HDR 1000 setting.

Are there any "best" settings with the new firmware? Mine turns up tomorrow and I can only find videos for the old firmware.
