    Ah, I have an Alienware OLED and didn’t find the refresh too annoying. For me I just leave it on standby for a bit when I’m taking a break and it’ll be done with the refresh when I’m back. I can get how it can be a pain though, since it sometimes does not pop up the refresh info message for some reason.

      I would be ok with it if it asked before starting like my LG. But sometimes I will grab a drink in the middle of gaming and windows will sleep the monitor, and I come back to a monitor that won’t turn on or do anything. No lights nothing. The only way to use it again is unplug it for 30 seconds.

        That is very weird. My AW3423DWF will stop the refresh cycle in the middle as soon as it detects an input in standby and come back within a second or two. What model do you have? It might be worth updating the firmware.

          AW3423DWb. Maybe the cord was messed up. I just set it up in a different place so I’ll wait and see if that issue persists. Firmware update sounds like a good idea.

          I’m playing more on the LCD lately anyways. It’s 1080, but it’s a smooth 520hz
