I tried running DP 1.4(non-DSC) with both gsync extended and basic at 120 fps but still, the intermittent black screen plagues this monitor. Gsync is completely busted in this monitor it's not working as intended at all. After so many months after release and no word do you even think they'll issue a fix? This is sad...

feeling bittersweet today, monitor will be picked up in a little while and i have requested a refund, i don't blame OC for this and very much do appreciate how they have handled all this since friday when i first spoke to them about it. Just such a shame a very expensive monitor has so many problems still. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6hYE1inw8E is a short video if anyone is interested

Hi there do you have a link to the software update and do you have a link to raise a ticket for these monitors please thanksThis is the longest time since owning the monitor that I haven't had a black screen. Only downside I have had to reduce its ability to run higher than 120hz
But while I do not agree I should have to I have just been enjoying gaming at 4k 120hz is enough to be honest.
Still waiting on LG to reply poor customer service.
The on screen software has an update on the website for anyone interested I think it might be windows 11 compatibility but without any release notes its hard to know.
V6.88 to 7.21

Hello software and drivers from this link https://www.lg.com/uk/support/software-firmware?csSalesCode=27GP950-B.AEK
Customer support this link https://www.lg.com/uk/support/email
To update people on the LG support process:
I called for an update today after nearly 2 weeks after the monitor was collected (they didn't provide me any update, was told 1 week when it was collected). They've ordered a new part, they said screen so it's not 100% clear if its going to be a whole unit or just the display part, which takes 5 days to be delivered to the repair shop according to LG. Then they will look to deliver it back to me.
So if you're having issues, I strongly suggest to keep calling them to report issues and get updates. Else you'll be left with problems for a long time.

Top tip - I always chase chase because of stuff like this!

Maybe in your eyes but coming from a 27" 1440p display I can definitely see the better image 4k offers.

New Display driver is released on the website. Very small change in the .ini file https://www.lg.com/uk/support/software-firmware?csSalesCode=27GP950-B.AEK

If you're running it at 1440p then the monitor is upscaling it to 4K, which will look worse than native 1440p. Any improvements you see will not be from the resolution.
i've tried 4k resolution and 1440p and i can't see any difference

1440p on a 4k monitor *is* visibly blurrier, since it isn't a 1:1 conversion like 1080p would be

So the local repair guy came and took my monitor. He said "I'm here to look at your TV" "Oh it's a monitor, never been called out for a monitor before" "yeah its gonna need a new screen" and off he went with it.
When I asked about timescales he said he didn't know.
So I ordered a Gigabyte M32U instead. Lets hope I end up with a refund or I will end up with 2 £750 monitors.

Just got call from the TV repair company that have been dealing with my issue. Apparently my "TV has been repaired and will be dropped off tomorrow"
Hopefully they will turn up with an 65 inch LG OLED instead!
Then I need to decide if I should keep it and send back the Gigabyte M32U OR sell the GP950...
Have you compared 4k on a 27" monitor, to 4k on a 32", 40" or even bigger 48"? I'm certain your eyes will see an image quality improvement increasing the monitor size for 4k resolution.

I can tell a difference between 1440p and 4K on a 27 inch monitor at a normal viewing distance. If you have to increase the screen size to see a difference maybe you need glasses.

I have a 4k TV that is 50" I would rather game on the monitor it just looks way more shaper than the TV. If I load up a game side by side on both my 1440p and 4k monitor I can clearly see that the 4k monitor is much more shaper and hold better texture detail both being 27"
I may be wrong i've just triede 4k resolution with amd fsr in far cry 6 on my rx 6800 getting over 100 fps imust admit it really does look better

So least some press is getting attention.
