Hey guys,
I have the galaxy book pro 360 it's only been like 2 months.
currently having 2 major and consistent issues;
1) the screen glitches, distorts color and screen
2) the entire screen goes black!!
I've tried contacting customer services MANY MANY times...they're literally either ignoring, or have no idea. when I call, I've been hung up on 3 times!
I literally only use device for academic purposes.
Any clues why it's doing this and what I should do?
Thank you

I have two (2) of these laptops; one personal and one for work. My work laptop is connected to two 27" external Samsung displays via a Thunderbolt 4 dock from Anker. Throughout the day, both of the external displays randomly blank. Sometimes the displays come back quickly, other times it may take a minute or two, and other times, I need to power cycle the dock or reboot the laptop. EVERYTHING (Windows, drivers, firmware, firmware on the dock, etc.) is 100% updated.

I plan to try the display driver reset noted above. I also had Anker send me a second dock to eliminate that as the problem.

I tried my personal GalaxyBook Pro on the dock and displays for a couple hours the other day and did not experience these issues. I need to do more testing, but to me so far, this is looking like a hardware problem.

Hey NasJiJi, I had the laptop too, my glitch started literally right after the Windows 11 update, I had to return it because it came to a point where the glitch will disturb my basic functions, I had a word with a tech advisor and its apparently an issue with pretty much all the devices out there. I was extremely happy because it worked at a perfect sync, such laptops were missing for android phone users but when it came to using it like a laptop the device will make issues. This was when I just used zoom and Microsoft teams, I don't know what will happen if I used 6 to 7 gb of the ram
But if the screen issues wouldn't happen, this laptop was a dream come true.

I am also having a very difficult time with the glitching of the screen but also with a bit of lag waiting for other programs to load. I have windows 11 installed but I had the same issues when windows 10 was installed too. I'm this close to returning this laptop for a different set up all together.

I've had this problem several times as well. When I close the laptop, the issue stops, but it's bothersome. It's really unfortunate because I love this laptop and would like to keep it if not for this problem.

Hello everyone. I had both issues: distorted screen and screen flickers/ goes black. I managed to find a solution.

After looking through dell and Lenovo's forums, I figured that the cause of error were intel graphics driver updates and not from samsung's side.

I did factory reset and I DID NOT UPDATE the intel driver. My laptop has not distorted and the screen has not flickered since. I am running on intel iris xe update 27.20.100.9415.

In addition, I have panel self refresh enabled and it does not cause any issue. It only has been 2 days but it was occurring every 30min - 1h. You guys should try it too.

Hi there...How do you get the Intel Iris XE update from not further updating?
