I recently received the monitor in title and it will randomly go to a black screen (power LED still solid) then after a minute will come back then flash black again and start to cycle more quickly through black screen and normal screen. It has happened 3 times in about 7 days occurring every other day with no particular trigger (gaming while it occurs, but that's basically what I use PC for). If I press the power button and turn monitor off and on again that seems to fix the problem and I am able to resume gaming. I am running two monitors and the other is a Samsung 1080p monitor, but while the Acer is flashing I am able to do everything on other monitor with no problems so seems to be the monitor.
My build:
ACER G257HU and Samsung Monitor 1080p
Intel Core i5-4690K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 3.5 GHz
ASRock z97 extreme4
Sapphire Radeon r9 390
Rosewill ARC 650 watt PSU
16gb DDR3 4x4
Windows 10
Temps and everything since adding new monitor are fine, I'm just hoping this isn't a faulty monitor as I'm stationed in Japan and shipping is expensive and takes forever. Fast response to this post would be greatly appreciated as I only have 30 days from invoice to start return and most of the 30 days the monitor was in shipping. Thank you in advance!
