OK people,
Have I got a dumb one for you, and a easy and dumb fix. Also, a question after.
A while ago, I had bought an ASUS VG248 monitor. It’s about a 24 inch monitor from Asus that I had bought a while ago because I needed a new monitor. And for the longest time it worked flawlessly. Until after when i realized this monitor was meant to run at 144Hz or Mhz. I don’t know remember which.
But when I started running it at this frequency on Display Port, after a while, (it’s totally random) it would suddenly not resume a picture from sleep at all. And would stay that way even after the PC would shut down, or restart. I had thought the DP port had died. So, I would hook up an HDMI and just use it that way. Not as fast as I’d like, but at least the monitor was working.
A few months would go by, and suddenly I’d have a blackout of power. Didn’t matter how long, but the computer would restart once power came back on, and lo and behold, it would have a signal on the DP port. I had forgotten I had left the display port cable plugged in. Would be so happy, and go on with life like that. The monitor would sometimes stop working with display port, and I’d just got on like that for months.
Till Today.
It happened again, and I decided to search the interwebs for an answer. And weirdly didn’t put in a model number, just that my Asus monitor would stop having a picture on Display Port.
Lo and behold a YouTube video was the first result. Very specifically this model. I watched it, and boom the fix. Unplug it, wait for it to drain power, plug it back in, and boom you have picture. And tons of responses this worked in the comments with other ASUS monitors.
So my question is, obviously ASUS knows of this problem with all the reports I’ve seen in these comments, why have they not addressed this issue or have anything on their forums about this? I’ve searched them extensively, and nobody, I MEAN NOBODY from them have mentioned this as a possible fix, cept some random dude on YouTube. WTF? Anyone else have an issue like this? Well, hope this helps!
Again, if you have the ASUS VG248 monitor, doesn’t seem to matter any variation. Have you had this problem? Did you know about this fix? And WHY OH WHY hasn’t ASUS addressed this in some public fashion? And is this an issue with any of their other monitor lines?
