LG brightness flickering

[BuBu Shofronea]

I just bought a LG 22MP68VQ-P 21.5 inch full hd 75hz gaming monitor 2 months ago which i'm very pleased to use but since then i've noticed something quite interesting. I'm used to using 75hz over 1080p almost all the time and sometimes, after a couple of days or less, the screen tends to have an intermitent brightness, not noticeable when having a bright image but a darker one.
The way i got to fix this was chaning the refresh rate to 60, but even at 60, this thing still happenes, so if i change back to 75 it disappears.
I also tried plugging and unplugging the hdmi cable from both sides and nothing changed. I uninstalled the software that came with thinking that would be the cause.

What do you think, is this a hardware issue, could be the cable ? with vga i haven't noticed anything like this but the truth is i haven't used vga connection for more than a few minutes to see if the flicker disappears, and it did disappear.

try the monitor on another computer even a friend's to see if still has this issue.

It's clearly a problem with a faulty screen.

yeah, but, there's this thing, it doesnt flicker before booting into windows, i.e in BIOS it wont flicker, only after windows loads up SOMETIMES it will flicker

Fix:
{On the monitor(hardware) cannot be done from the software}

{Settings->Power Saving->Low}

to

{Settings->Power Saving->Off}

Logically the flicker happens because the monitor is actively managing the power so whenever there is a frame where the brightness can be adjusted to maximize power saving to meet the settings value it will do it. Default is low.

I also have this problem, but when i switch off the monitor and turned it on again the flicker stops. cant figure out the problem though.

bboruah005, try another monitor even a friend's for testing purposes to see if still does the flickering or not as maybe a monitor issue if stops flickering.
