Last year I bought a Samsung S27C330GA monitor. I was wondering if anyone had updated its firmware via USB to the latest version. It should be supported, but I don’t want to ruin it.
Just make sure you have the firmware for your specific monitor’s region. I had a different Samsung monitor that had regional variants that were indicted only by an extra letter on the model # on the back label and 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 😉

Is there anything not working at the moment? Or are there any new features you actually want from the new firmware?
