DisplayPort is the better and more efficient protocol anyways.
I'm pretty sure it is.
However, when using a DP cable, my GPU disables itself if the computer is left unattended for 20ish minutes. Moving the mouse, using the keyboard, turning the monitor on and off, nothing is displayed once it shuts down even if I hear music/apps/games running.
Without changing any settings, using a HDMI cable solves that problem.
I'm gaming at QHD/120fps so a HDMI cable is plenty for the task.
Just curious, is it a Samsung monitor? My company had a run of monitors that all started acting up about three years after they were bought.
Also, while I'm sure you have checked this, this sounds like a hardware problem. It might be fixed with drivers or firmware on either end.
Already troubleshooted the hell out of it to no avail. It is a ViewSonic Omni monitor.
Glad you found a workaround!
