Hey!

I bought a 2nd monitor few weeks back, it's an ASUS VE248H(24'' LED 1920x1080), which is the same as my primary one, but this one has new firmware apparently. My Primary is connected with HDMI-HDMI cable and my secondary(the new one) is with DVI-DVI cable

My issue is that sometimes when my 2nd(newer) monitor is forced to display a black/dark video in Fullscreen, it goes COMPLETELY black(and I still get the sound) and only way to solve this is to exit Fullscreen and then it works again. It does not happen when I drag the window to my primary monitor and Fullscreen it on that.

Example video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T75aLLbODk
The first ~80 seconds is a black screen with slight text, this causes the monitor to just black out, after that it miraculously works again perfectly.

i5-2500k @ 4.3GHz
Kingston HyperX 2x 4GB 1333MHz
ASUS GTX 580 DirectCU II
ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution
Corsair 750W 750TX

Thanks.

Gah! I also have this problem on an Asus VS248H. Did you get a solution or just warranty?
