Posted January 5, 2023 Author I saw that but cant find any way to downgrade the firmware. Also, enabling G-sync should add latency, not reduce it. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 6, 2023 Author Also. Can I measure my inputlag anywhere? Im just not sure if its actually something wrong/wrong setting or if im just not used to it and expected way more for how expensive it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 7, 2023 I imagine it would be very difficult to downgrade your firmware if its already updated you may just have to wait for samsung to release new firmware with a fix or go through the same return process the reddit poster went through even though there would be no guarantee you would get a replacement with the older firmware.

Posted January 7, 2023 Author I agree. I just talked to Samsung and they seem clueless. He was like "You have to have a AMD graphicscard for the best latency" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was like "You have to have a AMD graphicscard for the best latency" For real, the fuck is wrong with Scamsung? Been waiting for QD-OLED 16:9 but all they do is releasing ultrawide/curved monitors and nothing else. Can't you return it? For that shitty service I would return it and get something else.
