is this the version of the monitor with PWM flicker?

If I turn the brightness down far enough, then PWM flicker does show up, but I run it at 100% brightness and haven't had any problems. From what I have read, running the brightness at 100% eliminates the use of PWM. People suggest using software to adjust brightness and leave this at max.Mine has 5 buttons on the bottom of the monitor, from left to right, Bright+, Bright-, Vol+, Vol-. There is no display showing you what setting you are at though.

Since all LED monitors have PWM flicker, then yes this does have it. You can't generally see PWM flicker on any LED monitor, so you're probably asking if this monitor is using a low frequency PWM that could cause headaches. I use this monitor a lot and don't have headaches from using it, that's not saying that it wouldn't be a problem for you at your brightness settings or perception levels. I think this is a great monitor for the price and every bit as good as my high priced MAC monitors. As mentioned by a previous responder, the base could be better, but it is functional.

I don't know. But, I have had this monitor for some time now, using it with two Samsung 24" monitors in my music studio setup. This monitors sharpness and color are superior to the other monitors (the panel used is SAMSUNG). I have never noted flicker or blurring. One thing to know, there are no monitor controls, only off/on button. You must use your systems video card's color management to make adjustments. I plugged mine in and didn't have to change a thing, it's beautiful. The stand is bit wobbly and I used my own power adapter versus the one packaged as it looked cheap. I use my monitor 5 days a week since purchase without any issues. Arrived without any blemishes or dead pixels. Hope that helps... Bought mine for about $250 on Amazon. See price went up.

I'm thinking defective. I used both inputs switching between DVI & VGA and both worked fine. But if the problem exists on both monitors when used as analog then you may have another issue.

Thank you all for your comments and tips. Ive just exchanged the monitor for another unit and the replacement unit does not have the same first start/powering on flickering. Btw, i tested the original unit on a ps4, 2 diferent desktops, and a laptop each with their own cable but the result were the same. In the manual it stated that flickering is "normal" due to the nature of the LED backlit, and call support only when the monitor no longer power on due to the flickering. (...?)

I have seen no flicker with my ESG601s. I view with an Optoma HD131 projector.

It uses display port so it should work but color bleed is terrible on this monitor

I am inclined to think something is wrong. Mine has a nice picture. I did no adjustments on my monitor. I kept the factory setting because the picture was great.

Mine says the same thing, also if you see on the right top corner of the monitor it also has GW2760S on it. but if you look up the specs on the computer it will have the H on it.

I've had this monitor for a few months now, and although I do play more resource intensive games with it, I've had no problems. If you are using a DVI-D to HDMI converter, you might be overloading the monitor itself and it might burn out. Try using just a DVI-D cable to connect the monitor and computer.

So on the back there's a sticker that says 100-240v... but I don't see a switch anywhere or anything like that. Dunno if that helps. I can tell you this monitor is awesome though. : D

Return it. I'm not kidding. My first monitor had color shift , the next worked for a year and then started flickering. That was followed by 4 refurbish units, each one with its own set of problems right out of the box. Finally talked the local rep into getting them to send me a brand new unit. Well, that was last February. The monitor has since developed a flickering problem. So now I'm waiting on another refurbished unit that will probably be defective in some way. HP has horrid quality control, and they're repackaging broken monitors and sending them out. It comes with a DVI cable. Return it. I'm not kidding.

Based on the fact PC Gamer declared this the best monitor for gaming available on the market right now I don't think the "don't use this for gaming" is good advice. Your ghosting of window's frames is probably due to visual settings in windows as this monitor has a 5ms response time which is pretty much as fast as the human eye can detect. Edit, 28 Feb: Got mine in today and I'm blown away, finally putting the extra horsepower in my gaming rig to some use bumping my games from 1080p to 1440p and it looks amazing, really gave me the "wow" factor normally associated with a major hardware upgrade. No ghosting in Battlefield 4, between color and resolution I felt like I could pic out every little detail and guys moving around from really far away with ease.

I am sorry that I can not be of help, I have not noticed the flickering with mine in my setup. As others have suggested it may be defective and you may want to return it or exchange it.

Mine flickered SO badly, I had to replace it. I do NOT recommend this monitor. Samsung was NO HELP whatsoever. It's very likely the last Samsung (anything) I ever buy. It's too bad, I used to like Samsung products before this fiasco.

Yes it is. It's an IPS monitor so no matter where you sit, the color/image wont distort. Compared to my other monitor, this is very crisp and sharp.

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'm tempted to answer, "yes, of course, save yourself the two or three dollars" but there's no way for me to know how that monitor is configured. If it's a good deal on the monitor, get it, and buy a charger that will work, later, after you've identified the + and - pin locations.

Both. Haven't found a way to recognize that its two separate monitors. Also you have to play around with how you hook up the monitors as they will flicker quite a bit upon starting up and then they are fine. After some adjustments to where the USB power was fed to the box we got them to work normally and not flicker every 3-5 minutes while in use.
