My Asus monitor's edge getting hot after extended use

[simonz93]

It's not like it's burning or anything, but quite hot to the touch, after having it on for few hours. It's the ASUS Republic of Gamers PG278Q 27" monitor.

Is that normal?

Running a 1440p display at 144Hz takes quite a bit of power. That power doesn't disappear, it becomes heat.

I see, thanks. So nothing to worry about?
