Question Why is my new ASUS PG279Q causing the electricity in my house to trip?

[Deankavanagh1999]

Hello there,

I have just recently bought a new monitor (ASUS PG279Q) and as soon as plugged it in to the mains after getting it out of the box, the whole electricity in my house tripped as the RCD switched in order to protect components. I did not even remotely have this issue with my two previous monitors, just this one after receiving it yesterday. Does anyone know how I can sort this out?
