Asus PG279Q Issue with ULMB - Backlight turning off?

Post by shockwave818 » 09 Feb 2016, 14:57

Wondering if the issue I'm seeing with my PG279Q is being seen by others...

I'm seeing a big issue with enabling ULMB with the monitor.

- I set the refresh rate of the monitor to 120hz via the windows display panel - everything works fine.
- I then enter the monitor's menu using the joystick/buttons - everything is still fine.
- I select and enable ULMB - everything is still fine.
- I then exit the on-screen menu - EVERYTHING IS NOT FINE. The screen goes black, and I can see the desktop VERY faintly (I think the backlight may be turned off)
- I then turn the monitor off via the power button and let it sit for 5 seconds
- I then turn the monitor back on via the power button and my desktop will come back - ULMB is also now enabled
- If I do anything with the on screen menu, it does the same thing when exiting the menu - screen goes black. And I have to power cycle the monitor to get anything back.

I am running a 970GTX and the latest drivers. Monitor is connected via the DP cord that came with it.
