Posted February 19, 2020 I've had this issue ever since I bought this monitor, I've just been really lazy to ask for help. Basically with certain software the screen just starts flickering a bit, it's not extreme, but it's noticeable and annoying and working on it like that is pretty much impossible, because of how distracting is. I've dealt with this by just simply moving whatever is causing the flicker to my second monitor, from what I know Spotify App, Lightroom, Premier Pro cause this and that's what I use the most. Monitor: Asus ROG Swuft PG278QR 165Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 19, 2020 Try disabling G-Sync, my monitor (Asus PG35VQ, your model is known to have the same problem) had the same problem, but got (luckily) a g-sync firmware update. Maybe that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I need it for games, oh does this mean I have to enable and disable every time, oh that's just annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ULMB is grayed out even when G sync is off, and yes when I disable G-Sync the flickering goes away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ULMB is only available until 120hz. BTW, was that always the case? You could still try RMA'ing it (if it still got warranty). EDIT: Also try only using 144hz (disabling the overclock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could still try RMA'ing it (if it still got warranty). It has always been this way, but like I said because I have a second monitor I've never bothered to do anything. Alright well at least it works like this, by the way do you know where I can find a best calibration settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
