I bought my first qd-oled in January this year. Its Philips Evnia 34M2C6500. I was very pleased with this monitor up until about couple weeks back, when I started to play darker games and I noticed clearly visible line in the middle. Today in a game I came across very dark scene I noticed that its likely not just the line but on top of that one half of my monitor is slightly brighter then the other. Extremely distracting, I couldn’t focus on anything else.
It is only when the screen is grey - the darker grey the more visible it is.
When I recently played Esoteric Ebb, there was often a grey screen shown and it was very visible - that was when I first noticed this issue . Curiously - when I hit Esc and got the menu and then Esc again to turn it off, the line wasn’t there for a momet and only showed up after about a second or so. So I didn’t pay it too much attention as I thought this is a game related gimmick. When I moved to other games though… that is when I realised something is very wrong.
Does anyone know what the hell is this?
Edit:
Monitor has only about 1000hours on record. Pixel refresh runs several times a day.
Panel Refresh triggers automatically after 2000hours according to manual with no manual way to trigger it, so it didnt run yet as I am only about halfway there.
