I did switch to the new cable that came with it, I didn't troubleshoot to single out the cable but do you have another DVI computer to test your monitor out? I would do that. I use to have to push the source button about three times before it would come up. I didn't go through benq since I just bought the monitor. The company I bought it from sent me a replacement.
Could it be a cable issue?!?! I don't have another cable to double check. Did you try a different cable with your older monitor?
What I cannot understand is that if it's the monitors fault why would windows reset the resolution to 1600x1200 every time this happens and I push the source selection button to force it to wake up (or use the on/off).
I guess I'm trying to find a way not to risk losing my 0 dead/stuck pixels
How long does it take to get thru an exchange with BenQ?
