Hey Chief. Could you tell me if the Viewsonic XG2431's sleep mode basically works like the "deep sleep" on/off setting from other Viewsonic monitors ? With deep sleep on, the monitor disconnects from Windows when you simply turn it off - whereas if you have deep sleep off, the monitor doesn't disconnect from Windows when you simply turn it off. I have a Viewsonic ELITE XG270QG that has the deep sleep on/off setting. I saw in the manual online for the XG2431 that this one has a sleep mode you can turn off. I'm guessing it's basically the same but labeled differently on this monitor.
Also, could you tell me if the XG2431 monitor is HDCP 2.2 compliant over its displayport port ? My understanding is that usually if the monitor has HDMI 2.0 ports, it'll also be HDCP 2.2 compliant at least if using the HDMI port (and an HDCP 2.2 compliant cable), and usually over displayport if it's DP 1.4. I was trying to find out more online... and apparently the XG2431 monitor has HDMI 2.0 ports but for displayport it has DP 1.2 or 1.1, so maybe it's only HDCP 2.2 compliant if using the monitor over HDMI ? or maybe it's still be HDCP 2.2 compliant over displayport too somehow ?
HDCP 2.2 compliance is important for me for 4k Netflix on PC basically even if this monitor is 1080p - since I'd have it connected to my PC along with a 4k display, and, last I checked this, all connected monitors had to be HDCP 2.2 compliant for the user to be able to watch 4k Netflix on the 4k display (otherwise you'd get a black screen or you'd have to disconnect the monitor that's not HDCP 2.2 compliant whenever you want to watch 4k Netflix on the PC).
