I know what will happen soon after you get this issue. When you switch on your monitor, your monitor will receive power but instead of powering on the LCD, it will shut itself off. Sorry bro your monitor's time has come. Repair will cost 700+, but at the very least yours is under warranty.

Wow, goes to show the monitors nowadays are just bad. LCD monitors in the past don't fail this fast. In fact sometimes I hope that it fails so that I have excuse to buy a newer one. Just kidding about hoping it will fail.

I'm surprised that a monitor that costs in excess of $1000 has such poor quality

Just suck it up, take a cab down to Jurong lah. At least can repair. My XB271HU also eventually died after 3.1 years. Never going to spend 1k on a monitor again.

That's why I still not changing my 2013 screen despite already one bright line and dirty screen effect.

Believe it or not, the new screens give worse overall experience out of the box. One LG and one Acer so far.

looks like LCD panel degenerating, don't think it can be repaired

quite bad QC for such an expensive monitor

 

[wwenze]

How to QC when all the gaming panels are from one OEM in China?

Better RMA soon, seems like usual mobo failure.

Surprisingly, it's the LCD panel itself that fails quite often, not the mainboard in it.

When did this monitor cost $1k and above? I got this 3 years ago it was like 800-900?

This has happened to two of my old monitors, though they were closer to 10 years. One was in storage for a number of years when I checked it and noted the LCD panel has degenerated so it seems that this degeneration will happen eventually.

30% of the monitor price is for nVidia Gsync

It's time to change to Acer Nitro XV273K P
