Answered by Josh
- A: AnswerHave you tested your electrical socket? More common then you think. Can fry your electronics if your plugs are wired incorrectly. Worth checking. Cheap testers out there. • Wired Correctly • Reversed • Open Ground Hot/Ground • Open Neutral • Reversed • Open Hot Hot/Neutral • Dual Open Also are your inputs into the monitor pushed all the way in? If not it will cause buzzing.

My 2nd monitor is working excellent
The first monitor they sent me lasted about 8 hours before I got green vertical lines. The lines would stay on the screen for about five minutes, then go away and come back after thirty minutes. I returned it and got a second one sent to me and its working flawless. I went ahead and paid a extra $100 for a 4 year warranty. I would recommend anyone getting this monitor should do the same. When I dove deeper into reviews on this monitor it's a common issue with the green vertical lines and most people it happens to them right after the return period and their stuck with it.

Great monitor for gaming and HDR content
This monitor is great. I am really enjoying the quality ease of use and entry level HDR. I have heard/seen that there are monitors that do it better but this really does hit a sweet spot and I think with a better GPU (running a 6700xt) I could really maximize this more.

Thoroughly Enjoying
For the price it was a great buy. Having the HDR settings makes the games look so crisp especially for the cinematic cut scenes. I loved playing Spiderman on it. As well as the Last of us. And the 144hz gives a a better frames to have the advantage on competitive games like Overwatch. Even watching movies likes Pacific Rim and even the new season of The Witcher look so dang good! The resolution so amazingly detailed watching Geralt sword fight with all the blood splatter makes me feel like im about to get some on my keyboard! Overall, one of the best things ive bought in a while.
