That sucks, but it's also good to know. This is clearly a widespread problem as there are many posts on various forums. It's unfortunate that the industry hasn't given any answers for it.
That is one option. It would be inconvenient to have to turn off the monitors every time I'm away from the computer but need it to keep running because it's doing something. Less so than having to reseat the DP cable every time but it's still not the fix I'm going for. Frankly it's an absolutely...
I've heard that's the only cable that's actually certified by VESA. I'm not convinced that's the problem I'm having though since disconnecting pin 20 didn't solve the problem for me. Hopefully it will fix yours.
I read a response from a dell rep on their forums (don't have the link anymore)...
Solved!
I tried a second cable with the same results. So I bent pin 20 out of the way on one end of the cable and now the monitor wakes up quickly and without fail. It's ridiculous that non-compliant cables are even an issue. I'll have to try and find one that is compliant because I don't...
Ah, USB is indeed DC. Asking for something that "runs on dc" isn't terribly clear. I'm still not sure if the op is asking for a monitor powered by usb or something else though. I mean, cars have 12v dc outlets, he could mean that as well.
I thought that all monitors (really any electronics) internally ran on DC power. I thought the inverter was just inside most monitors rather than an external "brick".
EDIT: Can you be more specific about what you're looking for and what you plan to use it for?
That's interesting. I don't know if it's the same thing or not. Mine only affects DP and I've read a lot of other complaints also only about DP. I've not previously used the DP port on my video card because I've always used the to DVI ports. It's only now that I have three monitors that I've...
Good thought but I've tried that and it doesn't bring it back. Interestingly, the screen is detected and the video card treats it as being there in that even though you can't see any image on the U2713HM (middle screen), you can tell it's there by the way the other two monitors behave. You can...
It's full sized displayport. The output on the card is full sized DP and the input of the 2713HM is full sized displayport. I'll check out the link anyway in case it's still relevant though.
Edit: Ah pin 20. I don't know if that's the issue or not. I'm going to test another cable tonight when I...
Yeah, I'm going to have to try swapping cables and cards. Looking around, this seems to be a common complaint, but there's wildly conflicting reports of what causes it and how to fix it. Some of the fixes are completely nonsensical and I was hoping someone here might have better reasoning than...
That seems like a major problem not to have a fix for. Does anyone know exactly which piece of hardware causes it? Is it the monitor, cable, or video card? I just setup two U2713HMs using displayport connected to an NVS300 card at work and it doesn't have any sleep issues. This would lead me to...
I just got my new Dell U2713HM and it's connected via DP to my 5870. I also have two other monitors connected via DVI. Windows is set to put the monitors in power save mode after 15 minutes without use. This part works, but then the U2713HM doesn't wake up. The other two monitors do, but the...
