I have come into possession of an oled monitor due to a friend giving it to me, however updating its firmware has become a nightmare. It doesnt seem possible to update it without windows. Windows PE live discs do not work at all either. I’ve tried wine and a vm, neither worked.
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=439932 This forum mentions the issue as well but there is no resolution. Thoughts?
Why the fuck would you even need to update the monitor firmware. It’s a screen, that displays things.
For example, MSI’s OLED panel care program was extremely aggressive when these panels were new, out of an abundance of caution.
They continued their research and burn-in testing, and concluded that their monitors would be fine over the years. An update was made to allow for longer periods before panel care was required, as well as disabling the pop up that would frequently interrupt usage and couldn’t be skipped. Now their monitors will trigger it automatically whenever it’s powered off.
I am very confused as well.
Must be one of those new fangled ones with “advanced features” that do stuff like game overlay or aim assist or whatever the kids need their monitor to do these days
