I bought 2 AOC E2770p monitors. The first set up without problems, i only had to find the right input by clicking on the "auto" button a few times.

The second one will not turn on, no matter what. (except a very short flash when it's being connected) i've filmed the procedure - http://youtu.be/qYCww7pWFiE

Note how when the second one is connected, the first one becomes secondary monitor, so i don't have access to the desktop, thus cant adjust the desktop and monitor setting in windows. ;-(

Also note how the 2nd monitor does NOT show the blue text "no input" when it's powered on but not connected. (the first one does) Very weird.

Rebooting the computer with either the 2nd or both monitors connected will not correct the situation. Neither will using the other socket in the graphics card for plugging in the cable.
I have installed drivers already, that did not help - now was needed for the first monitor to work.
Another monitor - zalman zm-tm270va - works fine as the second monitor. (but the AOC have better colors)

Do you know how i can make the second AOC work?
