Hi.

So I don't know if this is a problem, as my second monitor works fine BUT

whenever I switch outputs on my second monitor to HDMI and back to DVI(or power up the PC), both my monitors goes black for a couple of seconds and then come back on in total of 3 times, before everything is settled.

It just annoys me, since I have to sit and wait for my monitors to settle in.

Is this a normal thing, having 2 monitors?
