HDMI driving me crazy

[Movingclouds]

When closing netflix, amazon video or some games my monitor blackscreens for a split second and seems to lose connection to the HDMI before returning to normal after a second or two, due to the frequency that i use these services it's driving me mad and i have no idea what could be causing it

AMD GPU? I used to have that problem with my HD5770 whenever anything that used a video overlay started or stopped. The loss of sync spanned all three of my monitors - that's 1xDVI + 1xHDMI + 1xDP. Haven't had that problem with my GTX1050 using the same three monitors.

No, Nvidia GPU, i just tried it with an old monitor and it works fine, it's something to do with my new ASUS VS248HR i think, could it be my old HDMI cables? i can't even begin to think what could be causing this

If the cable works for the resolution you are using your display at, I see absolutely no reason why closing and opening videos would have any effect on that.

Unless your video player is changing the display refresh rate to more closely match whatever video you are playing, then you would have a loss of sync on each refresh rate change.

I don't even know, all i know is that when i close the netflix/amazon tab my monitor black screens for a sec and loses connection. I have tried everything under the sun that i can think of and nothing's working. If you have anything at all that might be worth trying let me know

Sounds like it is readjusting to the aspect ratio or resolution of the content you are using.

Try using another scaling mode in Nv CP

make sure your adobe flash and microsoft media plug in is up to date. (if your using old version of firefox try there new quntom broser it a lot faster for video playback. on the monitor see if there any drivers for it or a firmware updates.

I've already tried this and alas no luck, still disconnects for a second.
It still only happens in netflix and amazon video, every other video service i try is fine.

I managed to fix this by changing from HDMI to DVI, i guess it was an issue with the monitor's HDMI port, that's all i can think of.
