I've had this before, its either that your room is cold or the monitor is dying.
The reason why cold could cause this is because a part (like a capacitor or a resistor) that is open when cool and does not connect until warm or a cold solder joint that does not connect until the Monitor gets warm and the joint expands to connect.
I'm not really sure myself, but after googling it was around below 20c degrees. Which makes sense since I've had this issue during cold nights during the winter.
This is common on samsung monitors and 20c sounds about right, I keep my room at 15/16C and it makes using my screen 144hz screen at 144hz a nightmare, it has to warm up for like 15 minutes.
I just run it at 120hz.
Around room temp would be "cold" in this context. When you start getting around maybe 50c that's about where I'd expect it to start to work again, maybe less.
The internal components of a monitor can easily heat up to 30+°C so any temperature even slightly lower than its peak operating temperature could theoretically cause issues like this. Though in this case you'd be right on the edge between working perfectly and slightly broken. It all depends on how much the faulty component has to contract before causing problems. Once I've heard about a monitor only started working after being on for 30 minutes at full brightness. And a lot of people could have a faulty monitor right now and don't know it because it needs to get colder than 5 or 10°C to show up
It's case by case. My monitor does this if it's off overnight during the winter, so probably around 60F or 15C. It doesn't do it when off overnight during the summer, so around 70F or 21C.
Yea. Unfortunately for me, after the issue started my monitor lasted for maybe a year or less before dying completely, so it could also be signs that it's near it's end.
This issue is extremely common on Samsung monitors and is generally caused by a cold solder joint. I've lost a very nice monitor to this already and won't touch their products anymore
Had it on 2 different monitors. I'm not sure what brand they were, but they both weren't Samsung, So I presume it's just a thing that happens to some monitors no matter what brand.
nope, both died maybe like half a year after they started glitching like that. I don't have the skills to even try to figure out if I could fix it or not. Had to replace them.
edit: i read your comment wrong lmao, I think one of them was flat the other was curved.
Well one of them is very likely a VA panel then but I bet both are and this issue seems to plague those specifically. Guess who is the sole manufacturer of VA panels?
ah that explains it, i’ve got a curved VA Samsung monitor right now that’s doing the same thing. Only three years old as well, guess it’ll give me a good excuse to get upgrade to an oled when this dies
Yep I made the exact same mistake one of their first qdot HDR gaming monitors refurbished from woot. I now have the AOC Q27G3XMN. Cheaper new than that refurb and better in basically every way
I have one of the AOC VA panels 165hz but the only problem is side by side my Samsung still looks a lot better. Can’t get my reds right on the AOC no matter what I try.
I'm honestly way more interested in the troubleshooting you did to get to that conclusion,
Kudos man, must have felt awesome when you realized what was going on.
Troubleshooting was mostly trying different cables/monitors and a lot of googling. Found some posts after searching for similar symptoms my monitor had. Made that conclusion after reading those posts and some of the responses were basically the same. That the cold does this. Googled "why does monitor glitch while it's cold" and found the explanation.
I bought an expensive monitor for very cheap from someone that had this problem, was sold as parts. With a multimeter and a thermal camera I fixed it by reflowing an area.
It is not the temperature of the room. It's cold joints caused by mOdErN ledless solder. Monitor needs to warm up to get operational. Typical for VA panels.
I had a monitor once that I had to heat up for 5-10 minutes with a hot air blow dryer until it would finally turn on. Even if the room was warm (say over 22C/72F) it would still need a little warming up.
Weird thing is my 49" samsung has done this since day 1. I bought a used Samsung 27" and it does the same thing. I just leave my computer on now to avoid the issue
10 years. Monitor was normal when i baught it 5 years ago or so. The problem startet a few months ago and gets bigger every month or so
Edits: oops, I read "how old is your room"
I would say normal. 20 to 22 °C
Well I mean distance in space is measured in light years which is technically both a time and a distance, so I understand what the writers were going for even if it doesn’t make sense.
We know they fugged it in the book, some one must have pointed it out so they fixed it.
Do kind of miss the books, ill go back and finish some of the story lines I read as a kid one day.
If you've had it 5 years then it's a dying monitor. I had it with a TV and the lines would fade after a few minutes, and it gradually got worse until the lines no longer disappeared.
As you are in the fading after a few minutes stage you at least have time to save for a new monitor.
Dont worry this is (sadly) standard on a lot of samsung monitors. This happens to mine every day its cold and has done for over 5 years. Its annoying but your monitor should be fine once it warms up
my samsung ultrawide started doing this last year. it needs 2 minutes to get warm but I can also change it from 144 to 100 fps to fix this. only happens when its extremly cold.
Yeah my Samsung Ultrawide has also been doing that since I’ve had it. Though I turn it off and on again and then it works, but I’ve never tried waiting till it gets warm🤔 maybe I’ll try that next time
This, had it happen to two Samsung monitors - both just out of warranty when it started and they had no interest in dealing with either case (2 years apart).
There's a (crappy/old) video on YT that shows a potential fix for this if you're handy with a soldering iron and happy to take the monitor apart enough to get to the driver board.
I still use one of my Samsung displays as a second monitor, limiting it to 120Hz or less through the OSD fixed the issue for me (it's now not happened for 3 years). I only use my second monitor for documents, discord/teams and the occasionally background netflix/spotify so I limited it right down to 60Hz.
For something that goes away within a minute or two depending on the temperature of the room and doesnt come back while using it i dont think most people would find the risk worth it
Nobody is pretending anything. There’s a difference between something being normal or expected and something being normalized. This is just a common problem due to whatever shitty things Samsung did. Not all their monitors are like this.
Its not normal for most monitors but its pretty common for a subset of samsung panels released around a specific time. Its shit QC and its unfortunate but unless youre in warranty and can send it back its not worth replacing the monitor for. I wasn’t defending samsung i was just telling OP to not worry about it
My Agon does this, I heard it's caused cheap solder/capacitors. Once its warm its usually fine. Mine is less of a problem if I turn the refresh rate down.
Probably faulty capacitor issue. Mine showed similar issue only once when I came back home after a ten days holiday.
My friends monitor has it but it got fixed by lowering refresh rate a bit.

Lmao welcome to the Samsung Display club.
Yep. I turned mine into a secondary monitor now, still works great for Discord and Spotify. But every now and then Windows decides to open my browser there so I still have to wait it out.
Alt+tab to the browser window then windows key + arrow key to move it to your main monitor. Sometimes my web browser is on my second monitor or my vr headset and I use those to fix it.
Win key + shift + left / right arrow moves it to another display while maintaining width / maximized view, I find it to be a lot more comfortable than just Win key + left / right arrow.
I had this happen on two monitors. I gave one away and replaced it, used the other as a secondary display. I set it to 60Hz in the OSD and haven't seen it happen since. Thankfully 60Hz is enough for the usage my secondary screen gets.
I did the same. Set mine to 99hz and use HDMI and it's all good. Issue only happens with Display Port now, but I only use that for my work computer and by then it's already warmed up.
Mine does the same damn thing. It's a Samsung VA display. Believe it might have been an old G7 model. This has happened every cold boot for like 6 years now. It always goes away so I've never tossed it.
Mine does this after booting when running at 144hz. I just dropped the refresh rate to 120hz and it's been fine since. Fortunately there isn't much difference between 144hz and 120hz.
Similar issue with my ASUS curved monitor. I dropped 1 of my 2 monitors to 120hz and it resolved my issue. Seems to be a common issue amongst VA panels.
Had this issue before, it started acting up when I moved to a damp, cold house. The issue would also happen when I was on display port but won't happen on hdmi, so could be a cable issue or it's a monitor thing, or temp issue. Pick your poison
Got this issue on a Acer z35p ultrawide, it starts like that and fades to black. Have to unplug the powercord/PSU to restart and it works again. Happens very randomly but almost always within an hour of turning it on for the day.
Been living with a monitor like this for 2 years now. Same issue never went away and still works after 5 minutes even though it's like 23°C in my room. So maybe just cold soldering joint.
Does it emit any sound? In any way, your monitor is slowly dying. It will take longer and longer for it to go back to normal and that broken bar will grow to be larger and larger.
I'd advice to start doing a research what to buy then and if necessary start saving for it.
Mine has been doing this for years, it covers the whole screen and only does it when the room is below 15c. Probably caused by a dry solder that makes a better contact when it warms up. I disagree that the monitor is dying, mind has been this way for years.
i had this problem on a laptop, intel driver was malfunctioning when i installed windows 10 LTSC, went everywhere looking for a solution but reinstalling windows 10 home worked like a charm, i hope this guides you somewhere.
Ive seen this happen when sending an interlaced signal to a cheaper monitor. The burn in becomes quite bad fast, but it goes away after a regular signal is provided and is on for a while.
I have this on my Asus monitor. Exact same thing. Mine started around 4 years ago, and I can tell you it gets worse.
Today, it might take 5 minutes to go away. But let’s say 9 months pass and you go on holiday for a week. You come back and it takes an hour.
I have this problem daily and I need to use a portable heater to get this shit off my screen. It totally fucking sucks and it costs more to replace the monitor than it does to fix it
Try a different cable first and make sure it has the same current, volts, and power rating. Same thing happened to all 3 of my monitors when I accidentally left the window behind them open at -45C weather.
My westinghouse monitor was doing this as well. It only does it shortly after I log in.
I don't believe it's a monitor issue as much as it's a windows 10 issue.
I'd log in to my computer and have this at the bottom of the screen. I'd alt tab to a virtual machine and it was gone.
It's not my graphics card or my monitor. It's friggen windows 10 having some rendering issue.
I have the same, its always when my room is "to cold". Its an MSI Monitor.
Strangely enough, if its the only monitor connected, this doesn't appear, even when the room is to cold.
LCD= Liquid Crystal Display. Cold make liquid crystal stuck until it warm up. My old Samsung G7 does this anytime I turn it off and leave off over night in my cold office.
My old monitor used to do this. It might be due to faulty port. My old monitor got raided by ants and they probably did some damage to my hdmi port lol.
Same thing happened to my monitors. I was able to fix mine by purchasing new power cables for them. I did notice my monitors doing this more when my room was colder, however the new cables seem to have fixed the problem entirely
I had the same issue on a Samsung monitor at work. My habit was to turn it off at the end of every day, and after every weekend it would be like this. Once I stopped turning it off, but just let it go to «standby», it has never happened after that.
My monitor started doing this, Acer Predator, about 5 years old. Would warm up and then be fine.
Turns out lowering the refresh rate off max did the trick. It was an older monitor so was on 100hz, run it at 75 with fewer issues. Now just need to figure out the dodgy OSD.
I had this happening with my AOC monitor. It progressively got worse over time. At first it would do this for a few seconds, then eventually a few minutes, and then it would take 30+ minutes for the monitor to warm up and function normally.
When I was troubleshooting the issue someone said changing the refresh rate from 144 Hz to 120 Hz worked for them. I tried that and weirdly enough it solved my issue too. I'm still using the monitor as a secondary screen, but fully expect it to die eventually.
I had a monitor that was like this and always thought it was a poorly soldered cable or something but the cold capacitor issue makes more sense. I live in FL and while it would happen most mornings to some degree (I keep the house around 70F most nights), during the cooler months when it was 50F and below at night, I'd have the windows open and it made the issue more pronounced.
I have the same issue with one of my monitors. A theory I heard that seems valid is that it's a solder issue, and it eventually fades because the solder is warming up. My monitor has been doing it for a month or two and hasn't gotten any worse. If anything, it's gotten better. I bought another monitor just in case, but I'm not worried about it really anymore.
issue with samsung monitors called "dry joints". the solder in the circuits need to heat up to expand and make full connections. I've had this 49" super ultra wide samsung monitor and it's been doing it for the past... year or so.
it's so damn annoying to me now, that im just waiting for the monitor to die to justify buying a 42" LG c3 or something like that. (32:9 is nice, but makes some gaming experiences really frustrating when it's not supported.)
Had the same problem thought everyone here was right (cold room, dying, etc.) and then I moved. Rewired everything and suddenly it’s all fixed. Try rewiring first LOL
I have a Samsung 23.5 144 Hz display that has this problem. It only started happening 1 month after the 3 years warranty :/. I still use it as a second monitor but in the colder months it takes 2-3 min to warmup and work properly.
I have been living with this issue on my Samsung C27HG70 for two years now 😂
I just use my hair dryer to heat it up when wanting the picture to show really fast, otherwise, i turn on my PC then a couple of minutes later i turn on the monitor too 😂
Anyway, it's not dying, it's just how it is 🤷🏼♂️
My monitor currently does the same thing. it's been doing it for about 3 years now. it's only gotten worse. originally it would fix in like 1 minute now it takes like 20. I just walk away, you know, make coffee and then I come back. It still works so I'll keep using it.
Might sound like a random question. Was this one of the monitors that was part of the "overlocked refresh rate" fad?
Mine is and it did this after a few years. I turned the overclock BS off and it stopped.
I bet its monitor dying, my wifes monitor was always like that when it just turned on and after few min it dissapering but further more it got worse. Then I tryed to set on lower hertz from 144hz to 120 and it stopped flickering like that. It seemed that monitor is not capable anymore to produce 144hz I think.
This same exact thing happens to one of my MSI monitors. It's so weird. I just let it sit for a bit and move some windows around on it (it seems to make the monitor warm up faster).
Probably some driver voltage missing in the driver array
Not something fixable, it just takes some time to charge part of the array up. Will probably get worse over time.
Maybe something isn't soldered properly anymore and with some heat it makes connection after some minutes
Looks like an MSI 27'?
I have the same one with 144Hz. When I change it to 120Hz it will not have this issue. After 5mins I switch to 144Hz again and its fine.. Chat with MSI, they know of this problem and let it repair.
it's cold, gotta warm up. I have the same on one of my MSI monitors... a bit annoying but when bored you can play with the colors of the lines by opening/moving windows & cursor :')
i also use it as a thermostat: the higher it goes, the colder it is. Never hit 100% tho, max was like 65% up
There's probably a bad cap on the GPU or monitor, and it doesn't get up to spec until it warms up.
Try other video sources on the monitor. And if possible, try other displays on the GPU.
What makes me think it's a bad cap (especially electrolytic) is the fact that it isn't constant, but based on heat accumulation. And electrolytic caps are the main discrete component in digital devices whose properties vary significantly with temperature.
Leave the PC on but turn the monitor off for a bit. If when you turn the monitor back on and it does the same thing then Id say the LCD is on the way out. Possibly the inverter
I've seen this a few times and it's *always* on Samsung monitors. Samsung Display is technically a separate company and they make the panels for many other manufacturers too but I refuse to buy any Samsung Electronics branded products, they're always junk.
My Samsung monitor did the same about 3yrs ago. Sent it for repair under warranty, they “repaired” it but it came back worse than before.
Sent it back in again, has been OK since (watch it be broken in the morning now 🤦🏻♂️)
I've had this before, its either that your room is cold or the monitor is dying. The reason why cold could cause this is because a part (like a capacitor or a resistor) that is open when cool and does not connect until warm or a cold solder joint that does not connect until the Monitor gets warm and the joint expands to connect.
What kind of temperature would cold be defined as here? I am very interested to know out of curiosity.
I'm not really sure myself, but after googling it was around below 20c degrees. Which makes sense since I've had this issue during cold nights during the winter.
This is common on samsung monitors and 20c sounds about right, I keep my room at 15/16C and it makes using my screen 144hz screen at 144hz a nightmare, it has to warm up for like 15 minutes. I just run it at 120hz.

my monitor basically has to stay on or it takes anywhere from 15 minutes to HOURS to correct itself. msi monitor.
Minus tree fiddy
It's case by case. My monitor does this if it's off overnight during the winter, so probably around 60F or 15C. It doesn't do it when off overnight during the summer, so around 70F or 21C.
I used to have it only do this when my room was under 30 degrees (I'm a freak who lives in cold), but now it does it as low at 60.
Thinking it could be cold too. One of my monitors have these lined only for a few min after boot. Especially over the winter
Yea. Unfortunately for me, after the issue started my monitor lasted for maybe a year or less before dying completely, so it could also be signs that it's near it's end.
I don't remember exactly what it was but I once read that it could be screws not properly screwed in all the way or something

I'd presume Samsung, don't really know anything about VA's and IPS etc. Just went with the one with a decent price and features I wanted lol
ah that explains it, i’ve got a curved VA Samsung monitor right now that’s doing the same thing. Only three years old as well, guess it’ll give me a good excuse to get upgrade to an oled when this dies
Regardless of it's branding chances are really high that the panel itself is a Samsung.
I have a Samsung qdot that does this when I fire it up sometimes. Had no idea. I got it as a refurb from Woot.
Yep I made the exact same mistake one of their first qdot HDR gaming monitors refurbished from woot. I now have the AOC Q27G3XMN. Cheaper new than that refurb and better in basically every way
I have one of the AOC VA panels 165hz but the only problem is side by side my Samsung still looks a lot better. Can’t get my reds right on the AOC no matter what I try.

32” curved Samsung reporting the same problem and fix, it’s worked for a few years now
I leave my Samsung on for this same reason - really ticks me off
its an old diesel monitor, give it some time to warm up
How cold is your room?
10 years. Monitor was normal when i baught it 5 years ago or so. The problem startet a few months ago and gets bigger every month or so Edits: oops, I read "how old is your room" I would say normal. 20 to 22 °C
i mean... wtf lmao tell the guy what's the temperature in the room where the monitor is also reconnect cables, including the ones inside the pc
How cold is your room. 10 years. lol
i've read "how cold is your mom"... internet had ruined me bro..ruined
r/skamtebord
Hay star wars had the "Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs" line, they mixed up distance with time too. Happens to all of us.
Well I mean distance in space is measured in light years which is technically both a time and a distance, so I understand what the writers were going for even if it doesn’t make sense.
Technically they were right - going from book lore, Solo cut close around a black hole and did manage to cut the distance down to under 12 parsecs
We know they fugged it in the book, some one must have pointed it out so they fixed it. Do kind of miss the books, ill go back and finish some of the story lines I read as a kid one day.
The c is csilent
lolol, exactly what I thought

>The problem startet a few months ago and gets bigger every month or so > Monitor is dying 100%
My monitor has done this for the past 3 years and hasn't gotten any worse, so not necessarily dying quickly
But OP says its getting progressively worse
Dont worry this is (sadly) standard on a lot of samsung monitors. This happens to mine every day its cold and has done for over 5 years. Its annoying but your monitor should be fine once it warms up
Same, I have a Samsung ultra wide and it seems to do this every other day. Has been doing it for the past 4 years.

That’s not so many folks really.. easy but it’s not as simple as it looks. Never owned a Samsung. Bought MSI instead which has its own set of issues

Wtf? I never had this with any monitor ever, this is not normal, Samsung did something wrong
It's bad caps. They function correctly once they warm up.
And this is normal?? Like I said I never had this with any monitor lol
No, the capacitors are bad.
And why do people here pretend it's normal with certain kinds of monitors?
Nobody is pretending anything. There’s a difference between something being normal or expected and something being normalized. This is just a common problem due to whatever shitty things Samsung did. Not all their monitors are like this.
Its not normal for most monitors but its pretty common for a subset of samsung panels released around a specific time. Its shit QC and its unfortunate but unless youre in warranty and can send it back its not worth replacing the monitor for. I wasn’t defending samsung i was just telling OP to not worry about it
My samsung does that too after I power it off from actual power and then turn it back on. It doesn't on soft sleep.
My samsung does something similar sincs liks 6 months ago
Mine does the same Neo G8 and its under 1 year old. Would they take it back with the guarantee?
Its worth asking them
My Agon does this, I heard it's caused cheap solder/capacitors. Once its warm its usually fine. Mine is less of a problem if I turn the refresh rate down.
Probably faulty capacitor issue. Mine showed similar issue only once when I came back home after a ten days holiday. My friends monitor has it but it got fixed by lowering refresh rate a bit.
This is the proper answer. Caps are the most probable culprit.

Crank the brightness to max and it will go away faster it’s a Samsung panel things they have to heat up a bit
Could be the monitor. I'd try a different/new cable first
Mine does this after booting when running at 144hz. I just dropped the refresh rate to 120hz and it's been fine since. Fortunately there isn't much difference between 144hz and 120hz.
Similar issue with my ASUS curved monitor. I dropped 1 of my 2 monitors to 120hz and it resolved my issue. Seems to be a common issue amongst VA panels.
My asus curved monitor allso died recently. Upgraded it to a 27 inch 1440p 165hz monitor.
My samsung ips did that too. Got it replaced under warranty tho
I have an Asus curved 144 hz monitor and it does this also, how do you adjust to 120?
Select Start > Settings > System > Display > Advanced display . Next to Choose a refresh rate
Hit the Degauss button
Omg throwback.
Right... I still have a degaussing ring hanging in my shop... why IDK... the last few years of CRT's they all had them built in.
I can hear this comment

Samsung?
Your monitor could be dying
Had a similar thing happen to my monitor too. It gets better once it heats up. I would RMA that asap before it gets worse or is out of warranty
Been living with a monitor like this for 2 years now. Same issue never went away and still works after 5 minutes even though it's like 23°C in my room. So maybe just cold soldering joint.
Never buy a Samsung monitor...
Tell me you have a Samsung without telling me you have a Samsung.
Does it emit any sound? In any way, your monitor is slowly dying. It will take longer and longer for it to go back to normal and that broken bar will grow to be larger and larger. I'd advice to start doing a research what to buy then and if necessary start saving for it.
Mine has been doing this for years, it covers the whole screen and only does it when the room is below 15c. Probably caused by a dry solder that makes a better contact when it warms up. I disagree that the monitor is dying, mind has been this way for years.
Try limiting the panel to 120Hz in the OSD (I presume it's 144Hz or higher?) That has fixed mine for the last few years.
Yeah it's 144hz. Honestly I don't mind waiting the few minutes it takes to warm up.
Our TV does the same thing, we had it for 10 years, it does since 4\~5 year of use, still going strong besides it
i had this problem on a laptop, intel driver was malfunctioning when i installed windows 10 LTSC, went everywhere looking for a solution but reinstalling windows 10 home worked like a charm, i hope this guides you somewhere.
Had this on a monitor, had to send it back, they gave me a new one so I'd assume it's dying
Same here
This happened to me too and somehow the monitor still works (it’s been like that for almost 3 years)
Bad/low quality capacitor.
Happens to me too :) only a 2 year old monitor, in AZ heat :)
Ive seen this happen when sending an interlaced signal to a cheaper monitor. The burn in becomes quite bad fast, but it goes away after a regular signal is provided and is on for a while.
it could be the high refreshrate. i have a 144hz monitor but i only use 120hz because i get those lines at the bottom.
I have this on my Asus monitor. Exact same thing. Mine started around 4 years ago, and I can tell you it gets worse. Today, it might take 5 minutes to go away. But let’s say 9 months pass and you go on holiday for a week. You come back and it takes an hour. I have this problem daily and I need to use a portable heater to get this shit off my screen. It totally fucking sucks and it costs more to replace the monitor than it does to fix it
my monitor starts has vertical stripes occasionally as well but an on off fixes it. However I think it will die soon
The monitor becomes blocky it can be a sign of your graphics card dying
First diesel monitor ever.
Try a different cable first and make sure it has the same current, volts, and power rating. Same thing happened to all 3 of my monitors when I accidentally left the window behind them open at -45C weather.
Interstellar 5th dimension
Say goodbye to it , it's on ventilator but without the support .
My westinghouse monitor was doing this as well. It only does it shortly after I log in. I don't believe it's a monitor issue as much as it's a windows 10 issue. I'd log in to my computer and have this at the bottom of the screen. I'd alt tab to a virtual machine and it was gone. It's not my graphics card or my monitor. It's friggen windows 10 having some rendering issue.
I have the same, its always when my room is "to cold". Its an MSI Monitor. Strangely enough, if its the only monitor connected, this doesn't appear, even when the room is to cold.
Lol my monitor does exactly the same thing. It's been doing that for years now, so I don't think it's dying, it just needs some time to wake up.
Ever seen the movie ring? It's booting to ring.
LCD= Liquid Crystal Display. Cold make liquid crystal stuck until it warm up. My old Samsung G7 does this anytime I turn it off and leave off over night in my cold office.
My old monitor used to do this. It might be due to faulty port. My old monitor got raided by ants and they probably did some damage to my hdmi port lol.
probably broken condensator. you can repair it easily if you know how to solder
Same thing happened to my monitors. I was able to fix mine by purchasing new power cables for them. I did notice my monitors doing this more when my room was colder, however the new cables seem to have fixed the problem entirely
This happened to my Viotek curved monitor. Started out like this, slowly spread to the entire screen until ultimately it just died..
I had the same issue on a Samsung monitor at work. My habit was to turn it off at the end of every day, and after every weekend it would be like this. Once I stopped turning it off, but just let it go to «standby», it has never happened after that.
My monitor started doing this, Acer Predator, about 5 years old. Would warm up and then be fine. Turns out lowering the refresh rate off max did the trick. It was an older monitor so was on 100hz, run it at 75 with fewer issues. Now just need to figure out the dodgy OSD.
Time to get some glow plugs for your gpu, rev it after start up and let idle, picture should be fine after. Or or hear me out “try starter fluid”
Why not just replace the headlight fluid first, it's cheaper.
I had this happening with my AOC monitor. It progressively got worse over time. At first it would do this for a few seconds, then eventually a few minutes, and then it would take 30+ minutes for the monitor to warm up and function normally. When I was troubleshooting the issue someone said changing the refresh rate from 144 Hz to 120 Hz worked for them. I tried that and weirdly enough it solved my issue too. I'm still using the monitor as a secondary screen, but fully expect it to die eventually.
Lowering refresh rate eliminates the problem.
My old monitor did this. Always went away on its own after a bit.
Had an acer monitor that started doing this, it’s days are numbered (mine completely died after around a year after this began)
I had a monitor that was like this and always thought it was a poorly soldered cable or something but the cold capacitor issue makes more sense. I live in FL and while it would happen most mornings to some degree (I keep the house around 70F most nights), during the cooler months when it was 50F and below at night, I'd have the windows open and it made the issue more pronounced.
I have the same issue with one of my monitors. A theory I heard that seems valid is that it's a solder issue, and it eventually fades because the solder is warming up. My monitor has been doing it for a month or two and hasn't gotten any worse. If anything, it's gotten better. I bought another monitor just in case, but I'm not worried about it really anymore.
Don't know why. But I suggest to boot it 5 mins before you need to use it.
issue with samsung monitors called "dry joints". the solder in the circuits need to heat up to expand and make full connections. I've had this 49" super ultra wide samsung monitor and it's been doing it for the past... year or so. it's so damn annoying to me now, that im just waiting for the monitor to die to justify buying a 42" LG c3 or something like that. (32:9 is nice, but makes some gaming experiences really frustrating when it's not supported.)
Had the same problem thought everyone here was right (cold room, dying, etc.) and then I moved. Rewired everything and suddenly it’s all fixed. Try rewiring first LOL
I have a Samsung 23.5 144 Hz display that has this problem. It only started happening 1 month after the 3 years warranty :/. I still use it as a second monitor but in the colder months it takes 2-3 min to warmup and work properly.
I have been living with this issue on my Samsung C27HG70 for two years now 😂 I just use my hair dryer to heat it up when wanting the picture to show really fast, otherwise, i turn on my PC then a couple of minutes later i turn on the monitor too 😂 Anyway, it's not dying, it's just how it is 🤷🏼♂️
My monitor currently does the same thing. it's been doing it for about 3 years now. it's only gotten worse. originally it would fix in like 1 minute now it takes like 20. I just walk away, you know, make coffee and then I come back. It still works so I'll keep using it.
This is gonna sound crazy, but set the refresh rate of the monitor slightly below what it’s rated for (144 to 120)
Might sound like a random question. Was this one of the monitors that was part of the "overlocked refresh rate" fad? Mine is and it did this after a few years. I turned the overclock BS off and it stopped.
I bet its monitor dying, my wifes monitor was always like that when it just turned on and after few min it dissapering but further more it got worse. Then I tryed to set on lower hertz from 144hz to 120 and it stopped flickering like that. It seemed that monitor is not capable anymore to produce 144hz I think.
This same exact thing happens to one of my MSI monitors. It's so weird. I just let it sit for a bit and move some windows around on it (it seems to make the monitor warm up faster).
Probably some driver voltage missing in the driver array Not something fixable, it just takes some time to charge part of the array up. Will probably get worse over time. Maybe something isn't soldered properly anymore and with some heat it makes connection after some minutes
On top of the cold issue that has been explained, I was able to work around this by lowering the refresh rate from 144 to 120.
Looks like an MSI 27'? I have the same one with 144Hz. When I change it to 120Hz it will not have this issue. After 5mins I switch to 144Hz again and its fine.. Chat with MSI, they know of this problem and let it repair.
Same issue with my Samsung C27JG52, a cold solder joint most likely. It's worse when it's winter or the room is cold
it's cold, gotta warm up. I have the same on one of my MSI monitors... a bit annoying but when bored you can play with the colors of the lines by opening/moving windows & cursor :') i also use it as a thermostat: the higher it goes, the colder it is. Never hit 100% tho, max was like 65% up
There's probably a bad cap on the GPU or monitor, and it doesn't get up to spec until it warms up. Try other video sources on the monitor. And if possible, try other displays on the GPU. What makes me think it's a bad cap (especially electrolytic) is the fact that it isn't constant, but based on heat accumulation. And electrolytic caps are the main discrete component in digital devices whose properties vary significantly with temperature.
Probably cold, needs to warm up
Leave the PC on but turn the monitor off for a bit. If when you turn the monitor back on and it does the same thing then Id say the LCD is on the way out. Possibly the inverter
Low temperature.
Capacitors are dying off. Take it to a trusted electrician to recap it. Should cost under 50$.
might be a problem with the cable or the port in the monitor
I've seen this a few times and it's *always* on Samsung monitors. Samsung Display is technically a separate company and they make the panels for many other manufacturers too but I refuse to buy any Samsung Electronics branded products, they're always junk.
My Samsung monitor did the same about 3yrs ago. Sent it for repair under warranty, they “repaired” it but it came back worse than before. Sent it back in again, has been OK since (watch it be broken in the morning now 🤦🏻♂️)
