As the other place comments have also experienced this issue, I would avoid this monitor. Returning because of the below.

I have the same but not as prominent now you mention it and ONLY noticeable on a complete white screen.

Not bothered bout colours etc as it'll be hooked up to a quantum dot soon too.

For my work (IT stuff) its perfect - works great with my cruddy works laptop too so can't really complain!

need a little help got same monitor screen is good no dead pixels no bleeding light, The red on white in the curve is not noticable, I thought i had done well with the panel but when i set it to 100hz or even 75 i get a sort of speckling/artifacts on screen hardly even noticable unless screen is black,
Ii was wondering if anyone else came accross this or found a fix because screen is really good other than this.
I have 2x Titan X sli i used nvidia control panel to bump refresh rates tried with freesync on and off (i know its for amd cards had to try settings) ...
I only have the 1 supplied dp cable which after drudging online i found fixed this for some by using better cable?
any help is greatly appreciated

side not at 66hz its fine ive also played star citizen for a few hours at 100hz didnt notice the sparkles no flashing or lines visable just the odd flashing pixel on desktop when background set to solid black

Try using Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) v1.31. In CRU there r few methods to add 100hz so it could be an issue of LCD timings when used with Nvidia Control Panel.

good news it was the dp cable causing the issue i ordered a cable matters dp cable off of amazon for 7.99 and the sparkiling and flashing completely resolved also after playing about with a few different bits i used a decent hdmi cable on the v2.0 hdmi port and got similar results to the dp port the panel can do 100hz on the 2.0 hdmi and the dp port.

i have managed to get 112hz out of the panel with zero issues and ive had my nose on the screen for best part of 3 days test and making sure the issue was resolved but yes it is sorted and i couldnt be more pleased with it.


i have compiled all the info i have on monitor and put a quick clip on youtube for anyone considering this panel i am 100% happy with what i got.

any questions on this monitor feel free to ask....

I have a Sapphire r9 380 4gb
My old monitor had a refresh rate of 75hz which worked with this gpu
When i try to set a custom resolution it says
The custom resolution settings are not compatible with this display. Reconfigure your settings and try again :/
