V1301 is reasonably okay at this refresh rate. I don't use 60Hz as it is dog slow after using higher refresh rates!</P><P>DP is by far better than HDMI. but as per post above I use DP for personal use and HDMI for work. I also have had a few situations that my card completely lost connection with monitor. Especially when the Monitors go into Power saving mode (I have a G8 and G6 OLED) and on waking my PC, the card/monitors get confused as the G8 is slower to respond than my G6.</P><P>Anyway. I have been in contact with Samsung 2nd Level support and I have seen their "test results" and they say that they don't have any problems (but their test was only for 2hrs). I am trying to video my screens going black, but it is a pain having to wait for a random amount of time before the screen goes black. To capture it. If yours is happening more frequent please video it along with going to the About screen to get version number. If possible I could send in your video footage??</P><P>My problems have been happening straight out of the box. I have THREE G8 monitors (1 for myself and 1 for each of my sons). All Monitors have the same problem. Its frustrating as you pay a premium price only to have such a 'core' requirement not work.</P><P>I am surprised that 1301 is going back every 10min...I used to get this with 1004. I will change my frequency upto 240Hz for a while to see if I get the same as you. I have offered Samsung that I am happy to run any diagnostic S/W for them etc. But honestly, their customer service and support is the worst that I have EVER seen.</P><P>I will still persevere with their support for the moment.</P><P>Only solution, I see is move to HDMI, but I don't want to do this, NOR should I as DP is a worldwide standard.</P> Tue, 24 Dec 2024 05:44:14 GMT NealMcDeal 2024-12-24T05:44:14Z
