I have an old 23" i-INC 1080 monitor over DVI that ran fine for years on many machines but its backlight is flickering and needs to be replaced. Time to upgrade... So, lets go 4K...
I have an MSI RX460 4GB card, and a new LG 43" UJ6300 4K tv I'm trying to use as a primary monitor over HDMI. While it works at 4096 x 2160, I run it at the "recommended" 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz. On occasion, the display will randomly and completely drop out and doesn't matter what I'm doing, I cannot get it to come back. I have to blindly reboot my computer then it comes back until it drops out again. Yesterday it behaved and didn't dropout until late at night. Its dropped out 3 times in 30 minutes. I've since tried another cable since the first one was "old". When I went to bed last night, I shut off the TV/monitor and went to bed. This morning, I hit the power button on my TV and got "no input". I had to power cycle the machine. I have rebooted more times in the last 4 days than I have since last summer.
Are there additional settings elsewhere that I can adjust, or is this TV a bust as a monitor? If its a bust, I'm looking for recommendations for soemthing 40-46" thats not insanely expensive. Uunder 500 USD.
• Windows7 64bit
• Latest video driver (23.20.15017.3010)
• TV is up to date (WebOS 4.70.25)
• All energy saving crap is turned off in Control Panel -> Power (custom plan)
• I do have a screensaver start after 10 minutes
• All energy saving crap is turned off on the TV.
• I've tried a factory restore on the TV as well.
