There is a white projection line from white windows.

For any owners:

Asus ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ : Major flaw

If anyone with the same monitor can please confirm if you're having the same issue, that would be greatly appreciated.

youtube.com

I've uploaded a video to show you what I mean. It looks worst in the video than it does in real life. But if you could please look closely and let me know if it has the same issue at all.

Thank you in advance.

I'm really hoping this is just a bad unit because the rest of the monitor is amazing.

Odd. is that in HDR or SDR mode?

any other OSD settings that could influence this?

Also worth mentioning. I've even tried to update the firmware to the lastest.

Very odd. SDR.

I've tried different settings. Some stuff makes it worst, but nothing removes it entirely.

Tried a different pc or anything like that? I no longer have access to the screen to check it myself

@PCM2 can you check this when it arrives with you?

I have never seen so many issues for a monitor before. The other thread has numerous examples.

It's definitely the monitor. I have a 4 monitor setup. None of the other monitors seem to be exhibiting this behavior. I even tried disconnecting all the other monitors to no avail.

This monitor is absolutely incredible.. but it has some issues that are really nawing at me. I'm genuinely very excited by the potential, I hope they resolve it.

My PG48UQ does it too, I only noticed it after watching your video and replicating the similar bright scrollbar.

Only just noticeable for me on a dark background, not pure black. video

MY guy!! Thank you so much for this.

Yeah, mine settled and it's exactly that noticeable. At least I know replacements won't fix the issue.

It's too sexy to return and go back to non-OLED.

Yeah considering I only just noticed it, and even when I did notice it, I thought it was just because of me squinting (which has a similar effect

) - I'm still perfectly happy with the monitor and not going to return it, but I might do the test again before the warranty expires

The original Asus ROG Swift PG278 monitor was just as plagued with issues if not more so - I know someone who RMA'd 7+ times and most I know having owned one went through 2-3 replacements.
