Crushed blacks when monitor is over 100htz

svar · April 21

Hello

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but the other day my asus rog pg279q (from 2016) suddenly got very dark screen like the blacks was crushed way to much. First I thought it was a driver problem (rtx2060) as it suddenly happened after some hours, was fine earlier on the same day, so I reinstalled drivers and it did not help.

Tried then an DDU clean install and then it worked fine, but today I found out it had defaulted back to 60htz.
Tried to change it to 144 and then the problem was back and this now happens if I try any refresh over 100.
W10 latest updates and newest Nvidia drivers.
Tried another DP cable, same happens.

Starting to think its the monitor itself that has problems at this point and that its not a software problem.
