I have this monitor for 3 days, connected with dvi-hdmi cable. Resolution 1680x1050 and 1900x1200.
When playing certain games or demos the monitor will go into HDMI power saving mode and I can not get out of it. I called the LG CS and they told me to use VGA cable or lower my resolution, which I don't want do. I also have the power saving option off in windows xp.
Any ideas guys?
 
I think Someone in the LG thread mentioned that if they had another device hooked up to the component input on their monitor at the same time as they had their PC hooked up to the HDMI input that it would suspend, I also think I remember there being a PC mode of some sort that you can turn on to prevent that.

Yeah, I searched and saw that the solution suggested by KO tHa K1D is to... "If you experience the same problem I have with the monitor going into a power-saving mode and not coming back on when you're using your pc through hdmi-dvi converter, I suggest that you change the mode from the main menu listed under hdmi to pc and it should be fine"
 
Thanks,
The monitor is only hooked up to the PC and the setting in the menu under HDMI option is PC. I will test with different resolutions.
