Maverick Quickie-My MSI Monitor crapped out... sort of

I never thought it was going to happen but it did.

My 27" 165hz MSI Optix G2712 Gaming Monitor has officially crapped out on me.

It still works but I still consider it dead since there's this weird horizontal pixel crap appearing on the bottom of my screen.

This screenshot is not from my Windows 11 PC but rather my MSI Laptop which to this day still runs Windows 10 due to it's Kaby Lake CPU.

I was using my Laptop's HDMI port to test the video on the MSI Monitor

ACK!!! It really burns me up that this happened to my monitor of all things.

I'm not without a monitor as I still have my Acer QG241Y Monitor which is a little older than my MSI monitor but at least it doesn't have that weird horizontal pixel pattern.

The only problem is that it's a smaller 24" Monitor with a max refresh of 75hz. It also has no DisplayPort. Only HDMI and VGA.

That's a major problem since my RTX 4080 GPU has 3 DisplayPort's but only 1 HDMI port and I have more HDMI Devices than DisplayPort Devices so I feel like a compressed vice like this.

I'm currently browsing options to replace my MSI Monitor with a new monitor. Preferably from Asus or Dell and with a higher resolution than the MSI Monitor was.

My MSI Monitor had a max resolution of 1920x1080 resolution but I figure a higher resolution would be better.

I'd rather have a 4K Monitor but if I can't find one in the price range I'm looking for, I guess the next higher resolution I could go for is a 1440p Monitor.

Update as of February 2024:

I've bought a new 1440p ASUS TUF Monitor so that effectively replaced my MSI monitor.
