hello everyone! I'm trying to update my 27" Samsung Odyssey G5. (1440p 165hz) (LS27AG500PNXZA)
I have been searching for a while, and I cannot find an update file anywhere.
the monitor has been great. the picture quality is beautiful, the size is perfect, and the refresh rate is buttery smooth.
my issue is, the screen will randomly flash white. sometimes just for a split second, sometimes for close to 5 seconds. and I have lost my game multiple times because of this.
this happens when connected to my PC, which has a Ryzen 7 5800x and an Radeon RX 6650XT, using display port, and on my Xbox Series S, which uses HDMI.
I'm really hoping that the update can fix this issue, but I was planning on updating it before I found the white screen issue anyways.
Hello! Thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately if the update file is not up yet then it should be soon. As we do not personally contorl when new updates come out we would be unable to speculate when they will be uploaded to the site.
The screen may flicker depending on the type of graphics card, the game option settings, the current refresh rate or the video being played. Try the following actions: decrease the game setting values, change the current FreeSync mode to Off, adjust your refresh rate also make sure that your GPU is up to date.
