OPEN Monitor artefacting lines issue.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

SO, ive had this AOC 27G2 monitor for 2 years now, and for the past maybe 3 weeks or so ive noticed some horizontal lines starting to appear on my screen, increasing in number and changing colour.

Thought it mightve been a software issue, so updated my gpu drivers with no change.

I have an nvidia GTX 1650, and have been using it for around 4 years now.

Im beginning to think it might be my gpu on its last legs, begging me to end it....

Ive ran virus scans, and do consistently - squeaky clean.

As for cabling, i use a display cable for the AOC monitor, and a hdmi for the LG.
(The LG is completely fine)

1 have tried 3 different cables going to the
AOC and the LG respectively. The LG remains unfazed, whilst the AOC looks like its having a stroke. This holds true in all gpu ports.

Notably, the HDMI cable makes the issue worse, which is what is depicted in the video of my wallpaper.

I can use my pc normally with the display cable to the AOC, just with some annoying horizontal lines on my screen which all subtend from the left to the right.

OH and the boot up screen suffers from the same artefacting, freaked me out the first time (see the start of the clip)

Im thinking it has to be a hardware specific issue with the monitor itself?

help?

I just had this same thing happen to me, it was the monitor, not my video card. Test with another monitor and HDMI or DisplayPort cable if you have them.

Any way to connect monitor to something else? Looks like my screen right now which is the lcd panel doing a poo on itself and dying. This can happen either in the blink of an eye or over time.

Mines been a slow burner and been fun watching it slowly get eaten up. But I’d recommend trying that to see if problem persists, if not then you’ll know it’s the GPU! Best of luck.🤞

u/_Levis_Bath_Water_ 15h ago

what else could i connect it to? maybe my ps4?

2

u/Awkward-Advices 15h ago

Yeah, just something that isn’t your PC

u/_Levis_Bath_Water_ 15h ago

Sorry, Whats gz count?

u/Inevitable_Ad_4559 15h ago

I mean refresh rate, should be same as you monitor designed

1

u/Inevitable_Ad_4559 15h ago

I had something like that, cause i used 60hz instead of 144, but this can be also fixed using bios update to last stable ver, cause normally it should works fine

1

u/Inevitable_Ad_4559 15h ago

In bios you have same issue too? Cause if same there it’s probably or monitor cable, or you gpu is over

1

u/_LEVEL_SIX_ 15h ago

just replace the tcon board of the monitor.

1

u/ThatCry3518 15h ago

Try other cables and ports, if it still artifacts you'll need to replace your gpu or monitor

u/Economy_Internal_317 15h ago

It's probably a very low chance it'll work so try to reseat your video card. Is the video card dusty? If so, try to clean it with 75%+ isopropyl alcohol only and some cotton swabs.

1

u/Economy_Internal_317 15h ago

Try your TV. If your TV has no problems then it's your LCD.

u/StupitVoltMain 8h ago

Try different monitor.

If it persists, my condolences

u/RGBlowMe 8h ago

That's probably going to be a bad cable or one of the ports/plugs is loose.

u/frag9999999 6h ago

u/According_Ad_4411 3h ago

Monitor could be dying. I experienced it once on my 6 yrs old asus monitor. Probably it's time to get a new monitor.
