As of yesterday I’ve been experiencing random blackouts on my secondary monitor, and not a typical black screen but a full power off. I’ve tried plugging it into another computer, and for some reason it doesn’t repeat the same result, even after leaving it on for hours. I thought maybe it was a cable issue, but it dies even with all cables replaced with different ones. I also tried swapping Display Ports, but again that was fruitless. I have my older Acer plugged in as a second monitor to test, and so far that seems to be working perfectly. Meanwhile I’ve let my Dad borrow the defective monitor to see if he can get it to die on his computer. This problem is quite bizarre; every time it shuts off the monitor goes completely dead, you can’t even power it back on again. Like a zombie though it eventually wakes back up again.
I’m thinking it might be time to upgrade my secondary monitor…
