Is anyone else having a sleep issue with the monitor? I'm running Windows 8.1 64 bit, set to turn off the monitor after 10 minutes. The monitor goes black, displays no signal, goes black for 5 seconds, then displays no signal over and over. Video here:

This is driving me mad. I've changed every power setting I could find, installed all the software and drivers, etc.

MurdocI've had sleep problems but slightly different. Mine will go to sleep and disconnect from my computer and I'll heard the disconnect sound. Then it will reconnect a few seconds later and play the sound again, then disconnect and play the sound, and reconnect, and disconnect ad nauseum. It is REALLY annoying.

Murdoc@Murdoc @Drew - I have a theory about this and it has to do with using HDMI and having multiple monitors hooked up to a single graphics card. I have two of these babies hooked to a single GTX 680, 1 over DP and 1 over HDMI, and on occasion when putting the computer to sleep or shutting it down and turning it back on something similar happens.
My theory - the graphics card does not like running different refresh rates for whatever reason, also, things like GPU Tweak or any other overclocking software that can control monitor refresh rate somehow argues with what the monitor defaults to based on display input to it and this argument results in the monitor losing and going into "no input detected/power save mode". So upon waking up or turning back on it kills the one monitor and moves all my windows/taskbars over to the DP supplied monitor (this also happens if it goes into one of the input not detected loops that perpetually wakes the monitors but not the system).
For me its kind of a pain in the ass since my HDMI supplied monitor is my secodnary display and has all of the taskbars/windows on it because fuck gaming at 50 Hertz. That's all I have though, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't for me - but whatever the case I'm going to be grabbing a GTX 980 and hopefulyl alleviate this issue since I can run everything at 60Hz over multiple DP connections from a single card.

PapajI've only got this LG as a single display hooked up via Displayport to my GTX780. I do have my Xbox 360 in HDMI1, but I unplugged it from the monitor already and it still does it. I've also made sure to disable integrated GPU in my BIOS.
I posted to the main thread over on hardforum and haven't seen much activity.

MurdocYea, I (think) I disabled the iGPU in the BIOS but my stuff is still wonky. Which leads me to believe its something with graphics drivers or my software for OCing the video card.

SupermoistYes, GTX 980...were you disconnected from the world the past 3 days - cause it's been over every forum and tech site since Thursday. Whenever the Asu Strix 980 comes into stock I'll be scooping one up so I can drop the HDMI for another DP on monitor #2 and figure out the real issue to my conundrum (really just more of a pain in the ass than anything). That and my 680 just isn't cutting it at this resolution - I ran the Metro: LL benchmark and my average FPS dropped from like 42 @1080p to 22 @1440p keeping Very High settings, AF x16, Low motion blur, advanced physx, and very high tessellation.
