Ideas are Bulletproof
Hi Guys,
Yesterday I bought LG 22mp68vq.
But to my surprise, I can't use this monitor with my GPU's DVI/HDMI ports.
Its just shows blank screen(even in post) and the monitors' power LED indicator is static(same as in a case of successful connection).
Here is what I did(Sorry for the long post, I've wasted my weekend trying to figure this out)
-Switched to the APU and powered up the monitor with inbuilt card in my A105800k.
-It showed the post screen and I can switch to boot options as well( the same can't be done with connection from GPU)
-But there is again black screen after the post, so I switched to safe mode and set the startup option as: "safe mode with base video".
This let me boot into windows, and from there I ran DDU to remove all graphic drivers.
-I noticed that if I try to switch the screen resolution to 1080P(display setting) the screen goes blank and I had to wait for it to revert to default.
After that I installed AMD legacy GPU drivers and it worked fine at 1080P.(DVI port)
-The display randomly switches to low resolution but I'm not sure why. But the screen was functional.
All this above is done on the integrated graphics.
-To check if my GPU is bad or not I connected it with a VGA cable(using DVI to VGA converter on GPU side and connecting the monitor with VGA input).
-the screen shows successful connection, and I'm able to use it.
Now I plugged in the HDMI cable while the VGA as the primary connection, it showed up on the Nvidia control panel as second monitor.
From there I setup custom resolution and turned off the overlaying as instructed on below article
Correcting HDMI Colour on Nvidia and AMD GPUs | PC Monitors.
-After all this I switched the input from monitor and IT WORKED.
I can see output from HDMI now, but this is not permanent. I've to do this in each restart and and the chances of output with HDMI is low, most of the time if I plug the HDMI cable while the VGA is also plugged in the screen goes black.
It is really frustrating trying to figure if I bought a defective monitor or the GPU is bad.
Please help me out guys...
My system configuration is:
Amd A10-5800k
ASUS F2A55-M LK2 PLUS
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHZ
Seasonic S12II 520
Samsung 750 EVO
WD 500GB/1Tb drive & 2TB Seagate drive
Nvidia 960
