Hello, so a few weeks ago I got a new pc, but im having an issue with my monitor.

My main monitor (BenQ Xl2420z, using Display port) doesnt display anything when I turn my pc on, however it works when i re plug it in. I also have a second monitor (BenQ GW2270, using HDMI) that is working fine.

Any ideas what might be causing this? Could it possibly be a combination of the HDMI and displayport or something? (I was previously using VGA and DVI, but my new pc doesnt have those ports) My graphics card is an rtx 2070 btw.

Thanks heaps

I only have one monitor (xb270hu) using Displayport and I've found i need to wait a couple seconds before turning on the monitor after pc for it to show. Been doing it in that order now for awhile so its a habit now. I turn the monitor off at the switch though, never tried leaving it on standby. I should try that actually but yeah don't know why it happens.

Could be the same for you.
