I saw another post about a similar problem, But none of the "solutions" worked.

While playing any game, every few seconds the screen flashes black for a fraction of a second and then it goes back. This only happens during gaming, not browsing or other tasks. 

It usually doesn't occur until 5-10 minutes after the monitor is turned on, and turning it off and on again temporarily suspends the issue.

The other post I referenced had solutions like using an hdmi 2.1 cable and securing the power cable, which I have done to no avail.  

I have only had it a couple weeks, and it started happening a few days into use. It has had no major damage as far as I know, along with the power cable being in almost perfect condition.

I see the exact same issue with a G9 (LS49CG950SUXEN). Keeps seeing various reports of similar issues for the Odyssey monitors.
