DisplayPort issues with the VG248QE?

Post by samartian » 14 Feb 2021, 12:52

I just ordered it today, and was wondering how should I connect it since its already 2021 and anything other than DP is pretty old and out-dated I guess.. but actually 1 issue caught my eye.

did any of you who has / had the ASUS VG248QE experience any issues with using DisplayPort? I see tons of users complain about certain "no signal" issue while using DP with this monitor, at very random times.

and then I remembered that when a friend of mine received his a couple of years back.. it came with a DVI.
so is it a case of "ASUS knows best" ?

I am pretty sure that the DP cable that I have is high quality because it came with another display I previously owned.

you do not get any "no signal" text upon monitor wake up or just random black screen when using DP ?


this is what Im talking about, there are a few videos showing the problem :

also, Amazon is filled with 1-star rated costumer reviews because of this DP issue that users have reported

Hope more of you will confirm that using a DP cable will work properly with this display

no I don't, a lot of those issues are from people using sleep/hibernation and/or "fast boot" on their windows installs, unfortunately these are enabled by default but I always turn that crap off as they lead to issues a lot of the time, not just with monitors.

you know, I thought about that too.

every fresh WINDOWS I'm installing on a PC since early win7 days, I turn off hibernation and every setting related to "disk turn off" or even simple display shut off after X minutes via Power Options, I just dont like this shit and I never leave my PC idle anyways, if Im not on it, its OFF.

so I guess I wont have any issues with DP aswell, thanks for sharing that point

I cant decide between TF 60 and 80, according to PCMONITORS.INFO pictures, 60 is more accurate motion-wise but on 80 it looks somewhat clearer
