[SOLVED] Purchased EG monitor, any one have any experience with it?

[Loftybread]

I purchased the following monitor - https://www.ebuyer.com/869408-eg-35-curved-gaming-monitor-uwqhd-display-1ms-eg35120uw

It was an ex-display so got it cheaper than originally listed.

The spec says its 100hz, however I can set the monitor to a max 120hz.. Does any one know if doing so will cause any issues with the monitor?

Does anyone else have this monitor?

Also It says its AMD free sync but my graphics card is Nvidia RTX 2060 Super.. Is it still compatible?

Thanks again

Running a higher refresh rate won't hurt the panel. Provided you're not getting artifacting etc, then you're fine.

I too bought this recently and had i big issue from possibly using the 120hz, after trying Arma3 on 120hz for about 20mins my display went all corrupt like a dying gpu and failed to display anything, after a few hours of using my other monitor and tried my EG again and it worked, im afraid using 120hz might be causing my screen to over heat, now the stupid thing is....its advertised as 100hz but the manual says it may be detected as 120hz by the computer but we not supposed to use 120, if you set 120 in the drivers the screens onboard software will show it as running as 120, also similar screens to this model have an oc mode of 120hz, not that there is much difference between 100 and 120 if the option can cause issues then it shouldnt even be possible to do, finally when i tried 120hz i did find the screen got quite warm on the front of the screen.
