At first, my monitor ran smoothly at 144hz for nearly two years. About two months ago I began experiencing issues with glitches on the top of the screen. Switching to a windowed mode helped temporarily, but within a week my display would go completely black unless I reduced the refresh rate to 120. Now even at 120hz, the screen is flickering again, and I’ve changed drivers, updated everything, and tried different cables—still no improvement. It seems the problem might be with either the monitor or my computer.
It seems quite unusual. Could you share the details about your GPU and monitor? I’ll help identify any potential issues based on the information. Also, let me know the Windows version you're using—you can check it by pressing Win+R, typing "winver" and pressing Enter.
Choose DDU or a fresh Windows setup. If that failed, return the monitor for replacement. If your monitor lacks any warranty, proceed with the repair.
It seems the issue might be related to the monitor itself rather than just the driver. I experienced color depth loss over time, especially with higher refresh rates. Switching profiles helped, but some artifacts appeared after adjusting settings. Past experiences show stability at lower frequencies, suggesting degradation in the display components.
Most likely cause of the current problem appears to be related to 24g2e degradation. The recommended approach is DDU followed by reverting drivers to a stable version. I checked using "535.98" and found relevant information; installing an older driver version may help. It seems unexpected that monitors are failing this way—perhaps adding a fan or lowering the refresh rate could improve performance. Updated June 10, 2023 by cautiouslyoptimistic
it's particularly challenging when trying to manage the laptop screen. Activating it instructs your GPU to send a higher data rate signal, which forces the display unit to process more information. Unless the screen has a metal casing and relies on passive cooling (which isn't common), overheating may go unnoticed. The controller space is also tightly packed, as seen in newer or premium models. In some cases, better designs now include passive airflow to protect the unit, especially when data rates are high and brightness is increased. Even then, it's unusual for panels to actually benefit from overclocking. Personally, I find it unwise to overclock a laptop screen. (Especially if you're past warranty—repair becomes difficult) You might try lower resolutions at higher refresh rates, ensuring the signal speed stays within the controller's capabilities.
