Hello everyone, I’m facing a significant problem with my monitor setup. After several years of use, everything seems normal until certain games—like Black Ops 1—trigger the screen to go black even though the backlight remains on. I can still move the mouse through it without seeing any issue. Direct access to the monitor settings isn’t possible. The only workaround I’ve tried is disconnecting and reconnecting the DP cable for about 30 seconds. My setup includes three monitors, but only one is affected; the other two remain functional. I’ve changed cables, tested HDMI, updated power connections, adjusted refresh rates, refreshed firmware, checked HDR settings, updated GPU drivers, and even reinstalled Windows. Still no solution. I’m struggling to get it to sleep either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Weeb
