Is it normal for the monitor to turn black and the signal to fade every so often? I end up having to push the button on the right to turn it on again?

This happened to me too. At first we just kept pressing the button on the right but then it began happening more and more often. In the end, we returned it and chose to go with the DropCam. We don't regret our change !

I'd say that's not very normal. I've had this monitor for over a year (2 separate devices and 2 cameras) and that's never happened before. Maybe make sure you've properly paired them or re-pair them.

you have the Voice activated feature enabled, if there is a sound in the room the monitor will turn on so you can hear and see what is going on. you can hold the vol+ and Brightness+ to toggle this setting on and off. it also might be helpful to read the manual this and a few other features are covered that you will only learn about by reading the manual or the web. http://infantoptics.com/DXR-5_Main.php manual is at the bottom of the page.

Yeah it happens to me too!! Can't narrow down what causes it. Monitor? Video card? My blackout screens happen randomly and lasts anywhere from 1sec to about 3-5 seconds

Yes, I'm noticing that it happens after it comes back from hibernation for me. Screen opens bright for a second, then goes dim. I suspect something with the power-saving options compromising the screen performance. Still haven't figured it out :(

I have not experienced any issue like that. My only issue is that occasionally when I turn it on, the screen is pink. I turn it off and back on, sometimes twice and it goes away. It been doing that for over a year, so hopefully it doesn't get worse.

I've had mixed behavior on mine. The LED on the first port works as expected, each of the other LEDs have been irregular. I've noticed that if I restart my PC, the LEDs don't always come back on for ports that are enabled (even though the ports may be working). Other times I actually have to toggle the port on/off to get it working after a PC restart... and the LEDs may or may not come back on to reflect the status. Short answer; mine acts weird too.

I have not had that problem with mine. Have you tried adjusting the monitor or sync it with the computer?

Ivan had a legitimate question Cliff with a sarcastic answer from you. My monitor has the same problem and is worthless at this point. If we figure it out I will fairly rate this product. Our security system is a high test system and not from the big box stores.

On mine, what is "normal" is that there are black LCD segment digits on a blue background for about 15 seconds. IMO, seeing nothing at all on the display is not normal.

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.

I am responding to you on the one i bought . I'ts bright never had any problem with this monitor. my guess you have a defective one. sorry.

It may be either your BIOS settings with regard to the monitor or it could be a problem with your graphics card. This website details a similar problem and has some suggestions. I personally haven't had this problem, but I tried googling the problem and found this for you. I hope it helps. http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/monitor-goes-black-but-pc-keeps-running.92250/

It must be defective if you have it plugged into a working USB port and the ports on the monitor won't work. I've had mine quite a while and use the USB ports daily with no issues

If the Monitor is on, it should show a blue screen however, it there's no signal, it will be blank. I hope this help.

Thats weird, i'm not sure, I have had a few different issues that might be cable related... just flickering out and back in. Also sometimes after being on too long... it will cut out then I have to leave it off for a bit and turn it back on maybe overheating. I have not seen this issue yet, I would change the cable, if not that probably RMA.

We've not had that problem (yet). My only thought is the internal sensitivity element and the sensitivity button are not making a connection. It may be necessary to open the monitor to determine if something has come loose. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

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

The one I originally bought from east coast LCD didn't work correctly on my HOUSE so I asked them for an exchange as I knew that my display cable inside was not damaged (plugging in the old shattered one still displayed partial desktop and colors). East Coast lcd didn't even provide replacement, just refunded my money and I had to cough up additional shipping for the return.I then bought one from a different seller and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps as I'm just sharing my experience with them as I fell for the lower price as well. I then ended up buying one for around $49 & shipping The one I originally bought from east coast LCD didn't work correctly on my HOUSE so I asked them for an exchange as I knew that my display cable inside was not damaged (plugging in the old shattered one still displayed partial desktop and colors).
