Hi Guys,

Just wondering if you could help me with this problem im having with this monitor. Its an Acer vg240Y PBIip 144hz. 1080p. Pretty much i have attached two photos the first being the monitor when its first on and then the second photo being when it is been on for 20 mins while playing games. If you could help me out with a repair solution if possible or just tell me its unfixable that would be great thank you.

99% sure it's a GPU issue. How high are your temps? (I'd say your memory is overheating, but that's just a guess)

I play on PS5 weirdly enough. Have not used on a PC for years.

Still worth looking at. Easy way to tell -- plug your ps5 into something else and see if the same thing happens, plug something else into your monitor and see if it still happens. Will at least tell you if the ps5 or monitor is at fault.

Yeah happens when connected to my laptop. Fixable problem or not? Thank you
