G9 OLED Flickering now and then

[Venner]

Morning

I got my G9 OLED last week and noticed quite often when i switch on my PC and get to the desktop I get flickering as shown in the video below

I have tried a different Display port cable and the one that came with it, also updated the firmware on monitor and running latest Nvidia drivers, I thought it might be something to do with running a 2nd monitor so unplugged that but still get the issue.

I had the first G9 before this and worked 100% fine nothing else was changed. Running an RTX 3090.

Should I be returning the monitor?

That's brilliant...hopefully you don't have any problems with this one. I am using a hdmi 2.1 cable which I bought from amazon. Not sure if I can link it here? You get a faster bandwidth with hdmi 2.1 which allows you to set it to 12 bit colour. Display port cables can only reach 10 bit colour but both can provide 240hz refresh rates.

Did u get your replacement monitor?

Yes it arrived yesterday and so far so good. Switched it on and off about 5 times so far.

Will keep an eye on it but has taken the shine off the new monitor due to me now having to look out for an issue instead of just enjoying it.

Yeah I totally agree with you. It is a shame but I am njoying my monitor now with no problems. Also updated with the latest firmware so fingers crossed all is good now.

I've finally had a night on the monitor enjoying it playing some games. Glad I had it replaced.

I spoke to soon the new monitor has now done it. What cable did you order so I can try it

Can you post a screenshot of it??

[Venner]

I've taken a hdmi 2.1 from my TV I was using with ps5 to see if its just display port that gives the issue.
