Thanks man for the video, considering how rare to find useful videos about dissembly of the X27; as these costed an arm and a leg when they were new, and graphics cards were very weak to be able to do 4k over 60fps+, very few people purchased them. They were very well ahead of their time and still totally destroy cheap 4k monitors in HDR colors and brightness. Unfortuantely I am one of those people who purchased and after 6 years monitor started to demonstate many problems. Original fan started grinding, so I changed it. Now I am having cold boot issues, monitor won't turn on, unless I unplug the power cable a few times for 5-8 minutes which is very annoying, I changed the main logic board but that didn't solve the issue. Probably the problem is with the panel itself, currently the only solution is to disable deep sleep, but that will make G-SYNC fan work 24/7 even when the monitor is off. Anyway no other choice I think is feasible. I will wait tell the monitor gives out then I will purchase a new one.

Well this didn't age well. The G-Sync module has just completely died, it was slowly dying and was the source of all problems I've faced. It costs $400+ or more from what've seen online. This is the part number KG.9000V.004, it costs more than a new monitor, lol. Not worth it to change,. Time to retire the monitor.

hey sir please help me. I have a few questions. I recently bought this monitor for 500 dollars used. It was used for 4000 hours. Is that a lot? Should I return it and buy something else? How many hours did yours have before it stopped working? How many hours before it lost brightness? Thanks

@@obsessive-b2g Mine died after 19k hours. The lesson I learned to never buy a monitor with a GSYNC processor, that was the culprit behind all the issues i was facing. Also no noticeable brightness loss was observed after 19k hours of usage. Just make sure the Gsync core is cooled properly and fan is running as the core is very fragile and doesn’t like heat.

@MrA-ir3me at 500 dollars I dont think I will find anything as good, right? the brightness really is stunning. Do you think I should replace the fan now already with the Noctua? Thank you so much. 20k hours is great. That's 6+ years

power's is more serious, you may have a broken power brick or a power controller. The only way is to bring the monitor to a specialized service so they can locate the problem and then you can order a replacement part on ebay

my x27 is/was stuck in this "off" state, I noticed upon power cycling sometimes the blue LED would come on but the screen would not. Further inspection, i would see 2 leds on the gsync board while looking from the top down. There's a red and a green led that denote some sort of temp/power status that is visible. I found that during this power cycling and when the blue led on the front would come on - the red led would stay on and the green one would blink. Taking my heat gun and warming it up, made the green led go solid and then my monitor turned on.

Ok I did all this it's much easier to open up the case if you start from the bottom use a hard card and evenly open slowly, like slowly little left then a little right that way you don't damage the case when opening you should also have some more electrical tape and whatever the metal tape is called you can pick up at home Depot fairly simple as for the mounting of the heat sync you can do that and a noctua fan if you use raised bolts for the monitor stand such as the bolts that are used for lga 2011 they fit and they give an extra 1 cm which is more than enough

It does. YCbCr422 totally ruins the text, makes desktop usage much worse, it was a limitation of DP1.4, most balanced setting for the monitor was 4K 120Hz full RGB.

@@danielkrasnopoias1418 GSync is technically always on unless outright disabled. Monitors are generally designed to operate at temps of up to 85c with max temps around 100c before damage. But if you clean the fan from dust and maybe re-paste the temps will be around 60C. Try to remove all the dust and re-check the temps.

@AndresReviews
Жыл бұрын
I think that is totally possible, but definitely requires lots of work with customizing mounting brackets, typical CPU/chipset mounting kits won't work, need a custom mounting plate and workshop capability to produce one. Additional potential problem could be the firmware. It may happen so that if you remove the fan and firmware sees there is no fan running it may error out, needs to be tested.
