The great thing is that 1405 doesn't exist anywhere.So it's very strange that some of you were able to install it.

I believe my problems may have been caused by the monitor over heating. As i said i had the pc on and monitor on all day, even though the monitor was switched off in standby the heat that was coming off it was really noticable. After i pulled the power cable from rear of monitor for an hour or so and went back on i have had no more black screens. I also reinstalled gpu drivers. I may try downloading the older firmware and see if i can install it. So all in all not a great experience for such an expensive monitor.

Havent had any tonight. So far. 3 hours on.

Yesterday the monitor updated the firmware but the version did not change from usual so I think it was the smart TV that updated.

If anyone's having issues with black screens, I highly suggest you factory reset the monitor. I know it might sound like a waste of time. But twice now after firmware updates I've had itermitant black screens and doing a factory reset each time has fixed the issue.

Technical question: I noticed that if I set the screen with high peak brightness, the shades test (test disc) becomes a real disaster.With medium HDR peak (500 nits) and HDR peak off (400 nits) no problem.
This forces me not to use high peak (even with the service modification Max lux 138 nothing changes)
Who knows what the hell Samsung is up to internally with high peak.In HDR 400 many games have serious support problems (Re4 remake, Forza Horizon etc etc) And it's a real ordeal.
With the LG C2 I didn't have all these problems in hgig.

still waiting for the new update to the screen

Not just from you, this firmware doesn't exist anywhere which is very different.
Knowing Samsung I don't think it will make much difference. There would be more serious problems to resolve than the occasional black flash.

I don't think the black flash problem is a problem that Samsung will ever be able to solve given that it has been going on for several years and on different models. It often also depends on the VGA and its energy profile set by the drivers. There are flaws that are not visible to most people but they are not better. the management of the high bright peak is completely wrong, the management of the shades when moving from basic hdr400 which worsen drastically and cause annoying color bands to appear when using this mode, etc. etc. I've found quite a few defects in daily use, defects that other brands don't have in the slightest and I'd like Samsung to think about those, but as said I don't have high hopes.
So far, no black flashes for me. But I do get some weird stuff that isn’t easily explained, like firing up PUBG at 2560x1440, I’ll see the screen shrunk to what appears to be the use of about 1080p’s worth of pixels… I switch from full screen to borderless windowed and back and then it’s full screen again.
The fact I can’t have 3440x1440 is well annoying, but the 240hz and image quality is so good I accept it.
My main bugbear with this is the screen switching and amount of times I have to go in to the menu. Why i cant just switch sources without the remote and popups that want me to press more buttons is beyond me.
As soon as a fast OLED with 3440x1600 becomes available I’ll be interested but for now I think this is the best screen available despite its quirks.

Hi All. I recently upgraded from my old Asus PQ348Q IPS 3440x1440 to the G93SC, and while I love the monitor (so far) my GPU (Zotac RTX4080 Extreme Airo Amp) will now no longer revert to fan-stop operation while at 240Hz so I have to live with the constant 30% fan drone at idle or switch to 120Hz. I had the same issue when I tried a Samsung NEO G7 3840x2160 165Hz, where I could only shut the fans off by changing the resolution, so I returned that. I have tried fan control app, afterburner, custom curves etc but none work.
So do you have any recommendations for a 4080 or 4090 which doesnt have an issue with fan-stop at 5120x1440 or 4k above 120Hz? If so ill return the Zotac and try something else. I may also consider 7900XTX, but I saw there are some compatibility issues with the G9 on the HDR side.
Thanks in advance

I don't think I've ever encountered a problem like this.
I think the monitor can't have anything to do with the erratic behavior of the VGA honestly.
The cause should be found elsewhere because I tried this monitor with 4080 and 4090 (which I normally use) and it always worked normally.

It seems to be known issue with my GPU in multiple monitor or 4k setups, I can return it but would like some suggestions what to replace it with. Which models have you used without such a fault? I would ideally go for a 4090, but I at least want some confidence I wont have the same issue again. cheers
It's not the monitors it's the idle power draw of the Graphics card.
