Hello,

Please assist and see below. I am having the following issue with a recently purchased gaming monitor. 

Issue: Monitor randomly blinks while in-use. It is very annoying especially while gaming. It also wont stop until i physically re-seat the displayport cable. I HAVE to reseat the cable or it just wont stop blinking. Probably once in 30 seconds (estimated) once it starts happening. 
Temporary fix: re-seat displayport cable

Model: Predator XB323U Gaming Monitor
Purchase date: July 3, 2022
Website: Amazon

Any suggestions for a permanent fix would be highly appreciated.


Thanks,

WessenS

    Your displayport cable/port connectors might be dirty or have partially corroded contacts inside from heat & humidity. With both the PC & monitor turned off, try to repeatedly re-seat both ends of the DP cable a dozen or so times to help clean the contacts on the ports and cable connectors.
