How do you know what version of firmware your on
Back to 144hz and everything is sweet again.
For the users not receiving the firmware update try installing the new OnScreen Control - version 7.33 just released.
Just in case somebody might forget to do something of the following which improves chances of getting a firmware update:Same thing unfortunately.
any suggestions on region? I've verified everything else and can control monitor from osc.Just in case somebody might forget to do something of the following which improves chances of getting a firmware update:
-unplug all displays except for the 27GP950;
-plug the monitor with the USB cable which comes with it to a rear USB 3.0 port which 100% works, update your motherboard/chipset drivers which may influence the USB/PCIe devices;
-download LG_ULTRAGEAR+.zip drivers from the 27GP950 support page, install them and reboot your PC;
-make sure that you are on a latest OnScreen Control app from the 27GP950 support page (if not, delete the old one first and then install a newer one), locate the OnScreen Control executable, let it run as administrator and make sure it has internet access (e.g. https://pureinfotech.com/allow-apps-firewall-windows-10/);
-try changing settings of the monitor via the OnScreen Control app to make sure that it is actually able to control the monitor via the USB cable;
-try using a VPN for your internet connection with other region, maybe there are some bugs on the LG's servers which "transmit" the update to OnScreen Control app.
Hello everyone,
Happy weekend to you all! I got my 29GP950 last Sunday, unboxed it on Weds. First impressions were really, really good - at this point I should admit that I'm not much of a gamer (*hides*). I know there are cheaper alternatives but I just had to have it for my general PC usage including streaming.
An hour ago, I was streaming a tv programme and stepped away for a few minutes. I came back to find it had black screened. I could clearly hear the programme still, through my speakers. Tried a different HDMI cable, no success. Hard reset my PC, no success - the monitor noted a few times 'signal not found'. Swapped back to my old monitor and the good old BitLocker login screen appeared. Then plugged back this monitor and it's displaying correctly again.
Is this an example please, of the infamous black screen issue that so many of you have sadly experienced? I thought it was perhaps limited to just gaming but have I got that wrong, please?
I haven't upgraded the firmware so will give that a go later. Any advice appreicated! Thanks
Hello welcome to Ocuk forums
No this isn't the same black screen.
What you experienced is the deep sleep option kicking in.
You need to press the power button again to wake it up. If you update the firmware they is an option to switch this off.
The black screen documented with this monitor is a full black screen flash that last about a second. Seems to only happen while gaming for most people.
