So I'm sitting here with my second Dell U2715H monitor and second video card (GeForce 970), after RMAing both, yet I still don't have a usable display.
The first U2715H was worse, but it's only a question of degree. The replacement, despite being hardware revision 01 (original was rev. 0), still goes blank randomly. It also goes into "power save" mode when it shouldn't. Only way to temporarily "fix" that is power cycling the monitor.
At least I have one monitor that works. I have an old Samsung BX2440 plugged into the video card's DVI output. It works perfectly. It doesn't, for example, go into power save at random, which is how I know the U2715H is malfunctioning. It's only the U2715H, connected via DisplayPort (using the cable supplied by Dell), with which I have problems.
I could post full system specs, but it seems pointless. Sure feels like a hardware problem. I am running Windows 8.1, and not using the Dell Display Manager software.
I could do another Dell warranty exchange, I guess.
Help?
