This monitor is a lemon. The parts to repair it cost more than a new one. Check out the Dell 25 or 27 inch monitors (you'll need the soundbar attachment).

have you tried using a higher quality HDMI cable? Also, sometimes those cables can have small breaks in them that are not visable from the outside. And it will cause the source signal to drop.. are you getting a black/blank screen?? Or an error message??

I did not experience this. Did you set up the correct version for the display port driver in the monitor menu? Some computers , etc. do not support th latest versions that comes default with this monitor. Hope this helps.

I am getting the same thing. It is a buzzing/loud humming noise. Anybody know if this is a defect or if something else can be creating this?

This model monitor definitely has a flickering problem as reported by many people and it is very annoying. Mine developed in the 1st 2 weeks and I returned it for a refund. Not sure what the Samsung warranty is but I would try to return or exchange it. At minimum send for repair.

Mine too, after about a year. Seems to be common for this TV. Mine could not be cost effectively repaired.

I am using this as a monitor and it has been popping and this morning, it went into a haywire mode and the picture was highly distorted and a full volume buzzing began. Hmmmm too late to return it to Amazon...I may return it to ACER. Also, my computer detects it a native at a lower resolution, so every time I boot, I have to go into Nvidia control panel and adjust the size back up to 1920x860.

So I had this same issue with my ASUS ROG Swift 144hz Display and what I would recommend is testing the cable that came with the display and the cable matters one to see if you've received if the cable matters one has died. I did this and the first one I received degraded over time. Then my display died all together and had to get it repaired. All in all Test it to see if it's the cable or the display that's the issue. It could also be that the graphics card drivers you have aren't up to date but I hardly think that would be this case in your situation. Good luck!

Full disclosure, I'm not a repair person or expert at all. With our set, it started with a loud humming and kind of digital chirping noise. Then the picture started flickering a few days later, followed by the screen getting pixilated and greenish shortly after. Replacing the color wheel solved the problem and it's worked fine for more than two years now.

No. I have work with it for long hours. Check the settings and make sure it is not set for 60 hertz. Try a higher setting such as 120 hertz. It could be flickering. Otherwise, call for tech support.

I received my replacement about a week ago. I turned on the TV, and there it is again - the buzzing sound exists. That's two TVs, and both are the same. I do admit that the picture quality and everything else is very good. I'll probably return this, and go with another model.

Very similar issue: flickering problem on this 55 inch. This all began about 24 months after purchase. Does anyone have a solution other than calling a service technician and paying for the repair yourself?

No, the general symptom that would cause one to replace this part would be the monitor works but the image is very dark. I think flicker rate might be associated with the video cards scan rate such as 60 hertz. The higher the hertz the better the flicker rate or refresh rate. Play with different screen resolutions and refresh rates to get a smooth screen image.

Cannot help you, if still under return timeframe, return it. I have two units, one used for three years, one still new in box, even un-opened--was going to sell it so did not want to open the box, but decided to keep it since now discontinued. Your post reminds me--I should take it out of the box and check it. Question--are you sure it is the monitor and not your video card in the computer, or interference from some other device? Check online for like symptoms. Love this monitor. If you can find a fix, and otherwise in good condition, worth fixing yourself.

I would no rush to replace the power adapter just yet. If you can-try a similar power adapter with the same power and plug. IF you have one you can try it and see if the monitor fires up. If you have a compatible battery you can also try that. Normally the power adapter is OK. It is probably the monitor itself. I have never found a defective power adapter in all of my 52 years. I have seen circuit boards that are faulty on new products. If all else fails-ask the gift giver to exchange it for you.

Try to go through your setup again to see if that resolves the issue. If that doesn't help, you'll need to find an authorized repair facility to send it in for repairs as I don't believe the HDMI ports are a user-replaceable item.

Sorry you are experiencing issues. We had none. We hooked it up and both monitors are displaying just fine.
