Slow wake up time with KG281K monitor

jave

Just bought an Acer KG281K monitor to use with my Linux system. Monitor is great, however it is slow to wake up compared to my 2nd monitor, a 24" Dell. When I set my power settings in Linux Mint, I set the monitors to sleep after 5 minutes, and yes, they do go to sleep. HOWEVER, when they wake up the Dell displays first and all my windows etc "shift" across to the Dell monitor.

I found a setting in the Acer monitor menu which turns "off" slow startup, but the issue still remains. I am now going to try connecting the monitor to my PC via HDMI and installing a HDMI EDID pass-through plug in an attempt to fix this.

My issue is that I shouldn't have to do this. The monitor and displays should just WORK!
