    Question HDMI over ethernet balun issue - Screen goes black and signal cuts out when launching HDCP content such as Netflix or Disney+

    Ok, I just switched both flat ethernet cables with round CAT 6 instead. When I launch Netflix now, the screen still flickers black for a second, but comes back right away. It must just flicker while doing the handshake, but at least it isn't dropping. I'll monitor for a little while and see if...

    Question HDMI over ethernet balun issue - Screen goes black and signal cuts out when launching HDCP content such as Netflix or Disney+

    It was a 100ft roll from Home Depot. I terminated it myself with Keystone jacks and have no issue with image quality. It was the cheapest CAT 6 they had (unless I wanted to buy the 250ft box, which was overkill). From the keystone jack to the balun, on either side, is a 3ft flat CAT 6 cable I...

    [SOLVED] Monitors flash black randomly when graphics card is connected to HDMI, but not displayport

    I believe I was able to resolve this issue. There is a combination of things that work, and you may have to modify the steps for you. The first step is to turn off UHD in your TV settings. I only use Samsung TVs, but it is either called HDMI UHD or Input Signal Plus. For some reason, this...

    Question HDMI over ethernet balun issue - Screen goes black and signal cuts out when launching HDCP content such as Netflix or Disney+

    I am currently running into an issue where the HDCP handshake causes my HDMI over ethernet balun to black out and stop displaying a signal until I unplug the balun, and plug it back in. This is the balun I am currently using: J-Tech Digital 4K@60Hz It works great otherwise. I have it connected...

    [SOLVED] Monitors flash black randomly when graphics card is connected to HDMI, but not displayport

    I tried everything. I could not get the flickering to stop. The 8K cable did not prevent the flickering. I opened this thread on the Nvidia forums that details a few more steps I took...

    [SOLVED] Monitors flash black randomly when graphics card is connected to HDMI, but not displayport

    I think I understand what the issue is. I've tried so many different solutions and configurations within Nvidia Control Panel and Windows display settings. In my search, I was somehow able to make all of my 3 displays stop flashing black, but every 15-20 minutes or so, the screens would lag for...

    [SOLVED] Monitors flash black randomly when graphics card is connected to HDMI, but not displayport

    I completely uninstalled my graphics card display driver and reinstalled the latest 1080ti drivers from the nvidea website. I thought it worked at first, but it quickly started happening again. It now happens on the display port ports and the hdmi ports, almost every 3-5 minutes. The hdmi cables...

    [SOLVED] Monitors flash black randomly when graphics card is connected to HDMI, but not displayport

    Update: it looks like it does happen on DP too, just a lot less often and the screen is black for a much shorter time.

    [SOLVED] Monitors flash black randomly when graphics card is connected to HDMI, but not displayport

    I have a 1080ti in my build, and it's worked fine for the past few years. In my pc setup, I have 3 monitors and a tv all connected to the GPU. I changed a setting in my bios a few months ago to allow both onboard graphics and GPU at the same time. I recently turned this setting off, as well as...
