Samsung G8 after sleep fails to find displayport

ebilcake — Sat, 11 Feb 2023 15:51:08 GMT

Is there a fix for this? Seems kinda stupid having to force power off and restart the PC to get the monitor to see the PC again.

Turned off the option to turn off the monitor for now in power settings, but it's OLED so ideally I want it to turn off after 15 minutes of no activity.

***** Samsung. I have this issue since I bought the device. No fix . This is premium and should be handled differently. Not even an answer from support !

Not gonna lie, surprised this hasn't been fixed. Expected better from Samsung.

Annoying, this sometimes happens when manually turning the monitor off and on again, occasionally it won't find the signal and I have to restart...

This has been an annoying occurrence an since purchasing this monitor an I expected better since my Samsung TV has no problem finding both sources. I do not like that there is no simple input menu on the remote but only on the button on back of the monitor. This problem has even caused my work to disappear or force me to keep logging in specially with 2 factor.

This seems to be a common Samsung issue.

I have the exact same issue over two Samsung monitors across Mac and Windows and both USB c and display port inputs.

When it goes to sleep I have to either restart my device or physically replug it into the monitor. Not great for a £1000 monitor

I just bought the S34BG850SC... Can confirm while connecting via Displayport, cannot wake up the monitor from sleep (the monitor wont' turn on) unless I reboot...

Not fixed in recent update, it's made no difference.

Hi,

Same behavior here, I guess it's not a bug but a great feature...

Hi. I recently bought this monitor and I also have the same thing. It's getting a little frustrating. Quite often I have to turn the PC off and on again for the monitor to work again on the displayport input. It's already annoying me. From time to time my settings and calibrations also change they reset. Anyone know anything about it? If there will be no patch or update for a long time, I will think about returning it.

Hi,

I found on a reddit a kind of trick to bypass this bug, they recommend to enter your password "blindly..." and then press "Win + Alt + B" this will enable/disable the HDR mode, and it worked for me.

And another shortcut you could try is : "Win + Ctrl + Shift + B" (it should restart gpu driver)

I didn't try that one yet, I will when this dumb G8 freezes again...

Wish I saw this earlier, just lost some work due to this "feature" again. Turned toff the monitor to grab something to eat, came back and can't see the PC again... 😕

EDIT: Sadly, doesn't seem to work for me. Tried today with no success and had to power off again.

Have the same issue. My wife also goes nuts when this happens and wants me to return the monitor.

I "solved" this the following way:

1. Go to "Power plan" in Windows

2. "Turn off display": NEVER

3. "Put the computer to sleep": NEVER

4. Put on screen saver (I personally set 10 mins)

This has to be set up for all user profiles.

I turn off the screen via the remote if I am away for a while.

Samsung, get your stuff together on this one!
