Just make sure you have the firmware for your specific monitor’s region. I had a different Samsung monitor with a few regional variants that were only indicated by an extra letter on the model # on the back label. I didn’t think it would matter until I flashed firmware from a different region and bricked my panel…

Granted, I had to rename the firmware file to have a matching region letter to get the monitor to identify it, and the warranty covered my mistake without having to make a fuss, but it was a long couple weeks basking in my own stupidity.

Just don’t do what I did and you’ll be fine, I’ve flashed monitor firmware properly many times before without issue. Just don’t futz with the file or power off the device mid-flash and you’re golden 😉

I wonder how long before cops can register their devices to be notified when someone flags police presence at their location on maps and/or allows them to track the location of the device that reported it.
