**THE AMD DRIVERS THREAD**

That place in Bolton
3/4 of the monitors I've bought had have dead pixels now.

Do they accept dead pixel return? If not DSR time i guess.

Not sure, but I'll DSR it anyway. Not paying £600 for a monitor with dead pixels.

Indeed, good luck.

You managed to get 4K 60Hz with your 290's?

Yep, no problems.

 

[whyscotty]

Yep, no problems.

gratz, a lot of people can't.

 

[thefogo]

Is it possible for dead pixels to develop? I could have sworn there were none when I turned it on.

 

[LtMatt]

I m thinking of going to Nvidia , see my post

Stop! Warsam (AMD Community Rep) has contacted me and asked me to ask you to contact him (you don't have your trust set up) to address and fix this issue. You can either trust him here via his OcuK profile. Or you can contact him on twitter, here.

Thanks, I have contacted him on Twitter , have to admit , that I did not discover how to send him PM on this forum . Thank you once more

That looks like more then one dead pixel more like a cluster or dirt. send it back.

I had issues on my 280x's at 4k using a cheaper mini dp to dp cable but when i started using a full dp cable with an adapter the issue disappeared.

Yeah it was a pretty big cluster.
The guy in returns tried convincing me that the manufacturer allows some dead pixels, but I was having none of that. Got a refund.

You do right, this isn't 2002. there should be no light spots / dead pixels on modern displays.

Especially when you pay £600.

Oh Christ yes, you want it to be perfect for that.

 

[Steampunk]

I don't know how manufacturers still get away with it. There's a legal requirement for new items to be without minor defects, so how they expect display devices costing hundreds to be accepted with faulty displays is just ridiculous.

4K@60Hz : flickering event. after uninstalling the drivers e.g not a driver problem.
New DP cable did not solve the problem as well.

AMD has got /MP / a weak signal from the board that cannot make it to 60Hz.
Installed 780TI-60Hz out of the box.

So far not "hotfix" from AMD as there cant be any. Thanks LtMatt for your kind support.
Have had an interesting experience with some AMD spin doctors on Twitter .
Those PR guys are "awesome ". Warsam is a nice guy.
