Hi everyone,

I recently got a brand-new ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQWMG OLED monitor, and I've noticed something strange.

Sometimes while playing Escape from Tarkov, a single white pixel briefly appears and disappears almost instantly (literally for a fraction of a second). It happens randomly, but I've noticed it quite frequently in Tarkov.

I've also noticed it occasionally when opening or using my browser, although it seems to happen much more often in Tarkov. So far, I haven't noticed it in any other games.

The monitor is brand new, and so is my PC. I'm currently using HDMI 2.1.

My PC specs:

• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
• RAM: 64 GB DDR5 6000 MHz
• Storage: 2 TB SSD
• OS: Windows 11 Home (26H2 / build 26200)
• NVIDIA Driver: Game Ready 616.56 (August 26, 2026)

Monitors:

• Main: ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQWMG — 2560×1440 @ 280 Hz
• Secondary: ASUS XG258 — 1920×1080 @ 240 Hz, G-SYNC Compatible
