In the AMD Catalyst™ 14.7 RC3 driver release notes, it says:

Collaboration with AOC has identified non-standard display timings as the root cause of 60Hz SST flickering exhibited by the AOC U2868PQU panel on certain AMD Radeon™ graphics cards. A software workaround has been implemented in AMD Catalyst 14.7 RC driver to resolve the display timing issues with this display.
  • Users are further encouraged to obtain newer display firmware from AOC that will resolve flickering at its origin.
  • Users are additionally advised to utilize DisplayPort-certified cables to ensure the integrity of the DisplayPort data connection.​​​

Anyone manage to get hold of AOC and get this firmware?
 
Also wanting to know this, just got one of these and cant go full 4K@60Hz on displayport with the supplied cable without horrendous flickering. :mad:
 
I'd get shot of the panel as soon as possible tbh which I hate to say but unless there is a major firmware update somewhere you'll still have the internal power saving bugs, really poor overdrive implementation and a whole 3 frames of input latency to deal with despite the other positives of the panel :|
 
Hi Rroff, thanks for your comments mate I only just got this monitor the other day so I am still getting to know it. Havn't gamed on it yet but have just got it set up having followed a review which had calibrated it and provided an Icc profile and I have to say I think the display looks fabulous, beautiful colours, no dead pixels or bleeding etc. I bought this monitor from Ocuk 'B' Grade section for £299, took a bit of a gamble and so far I am happy except for the 'flickering' problem. I have fired off an email to AOC asking for their input and if there is a fix. I await their response. Maybe the AOC Rep will see this thread and chip in. I can always DSR if I don't get any encouraging answers.:)
 
Haven't found a service menu yet but holding down menu + power locks/unlocks the OSD (which is mentioned in the manual) and volume + and - and power moves the OSD to the top of the screen :S (which I don't think is mentioned).
