Did this ship broken?

Hey guys, I'll keep it short.

 

I got this new monitor,

Acer GN246HL 

 

And I turned it up to the 144hz and this started happening (sorry for potato quality)

 

 

 

 

Notice all that red shit. Does anybody know what's up?

 

Edit: The red spots appear to be twinkling, figured I should've mentioned this

Dead Pixels.

 

RMA.

GPU's acting up. Usually has to do with high vRAM overclocks (or overclocks on the GPU in general). Try switch the DVI port that you are using (assuming it has multiple because that fixed it with my gtx 970).

 

OR it could be a lot of dead pixels, in which case i would suggest you RMA it.

I'll try

Dead Pixels.

 

RMA.

I don't think it is, when I turned it to 60hz it's almost unnoticeable, kind of 

 

Edit: they also seem to be twinkling almost. Could it be the cable?

Dead pixels or the GPU isn't able to run the 144Hz I can't imagine why it wouldn't tho....

No that are not dead pixels. I doubt its the Monitor.

[MattLantis]

Well it appears to be fixed? Idk what happened. Thanks for helping guys

Contact the Acer support.

The correct terminology is bright pixel. Dead pixel is when they are black.

As other of said, the issue is either:

-> The monitor is faulty. Try another computer or graphics card to see if the problem is solved to know if maybe it isn't the monitor

-> The GPU memory is faulty. Even if it works at 60Hz, but not 144Hz it is signs that the video memory is faulty. If your graphics card is overclocked, downclock it. If not, then you may want to RMA the graphics card if it is still under warranty.
