I find my monitor calibrating every now and then, flashing various colors and lines across the screen, but it usually doesn't look for input. I'm guessing it's getting a mixed signal from your computer, or some device it is plugged into? If you hit the "Source" button (the + sign), you can select a default source and turn OFF the auto-select source option. This might also help.

The issue will be power, it uses two powered USB ports for power supply. The port on the monitor is a micro USB you could probably use alternate means of power. I don't have the power specs on hand to advise what would be best for alternative power.

It sounds as if either your card is bad or your monitor is bad, try using a different monitor connector. If this does not work, reinstall your old card, does the monitor receive a signal? If so it seems as though thr card is bad, begin return procedures

I had a similar problem. First the screen was blue then completly blank. I took it to a sony service center and they had to replace the ribbon cable that feeds the screen. Seems this is a common defect.

Cannot help you, if still under return timeframe, return it. I have two units, one used for three years, one still new in box, even un-opened--was going to sell it so did not want to open the box, but decided to keep it since now discontinued. Your post reminds me--I should take it out of the box and check it. Question--are you sure it is the monitor and not your video card in the computer, or interference from some other device? Check online for like symptoms. Love this monitor. If you can find a fix, and otherwise in good condition, worth fixing yourself.

I would write amazon directly and they are good about working things out. I have used my monitor for many months and have no complaints. Could be the item itself is faulty. Also try notifying the company who made it.

Sorry you are experiencing issues. We had none. We hooked it up and both monitors are displaying just fine.

We had the same problem after a month. I took it back and got a new one. I am hoping maybe we all got lemons, because I otherwise love this monitor.

If it loses a signal, The screen will turn black. It is not off but there is nothing to display.

I'm sorry to say I had the same issue with 1 of 2 monitors I purchased. I don't believe it's a powersupply issue b/c I swapped powersupplies and the issue still occurred. I had to RMA my bad monitor. I will say though, if you get one that works, they're really quite nice.

Make you are connected to a source that is putting out a signal. Try another source or camera. Make sure to chang input to the proper cable you are using to view on monitor.

Have you swapped the wires on the other monitor and the other one works? Then its the monitor itself. If the one that was working doesn't work, then you have a bad connection.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately I do not know why the card would blue screen. If you have the correct drivers installed and it is still blue screening then you can open an rma for a replacement. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

Three things: Have you tested the monitor with another system, laptop or desktop? Have you tested the same monitor with different cables? Have you tested the monitor with your system in Safe-Mode so no drivers are loaded? The whole idea is to isolate the problem BUT if this is a refurbished unit HURRY UP and see if you can return it ASAP before the time expires. Good luck

When the video feed becomes active, the screen is clear in less than a second. The screen goes black instantaneously when the feed is stopped. As to whether the unit actually goes into low power mode and when, there is no way to tell without instrumentation.
