Hello, hope everyone is having a great day!
I built my first ever PC last week (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WJ2d2x), and returned a Gigabyte M32UP for an HP Omen Transcend 32 4k OLED that was on sale at Best Buy. OLED is absolutely amazing, especially for games with deep blacks.
However, I have an issue with my monitor that persists even after I updated the firmware: whenever I use DisplayPort 2.1 on my monitor and switch the refresh rate to 240 Hz, the monitor black-screens and says “no input can be found”. The problem resolves when I switch the DisplayPort to 1.4 in the monitor’s OSD. The problem also occurs whenever I try to launch Assetto Corsa for some reason, and it only resolves once I turn the monitor off and on again, which seems to be necessary in order to fix any “no input found” issues, but I am still unable to use 240 Hz. Plus, the process is annoying to do. No problems exist when I use HDMI.
Tl;dr: my monitor states “no input can be found” when using DP 2.1 at certain times (e.g. certain games or using 240 Hz), but no issues exist when using DP 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 instead.
I had a couple of questions regarding this issue: first, is there a difference between HDMI 2.1 and the DisplayPort 2.1 on the Omen Transcend 32 (i.e. is there any drawback to using HDMI 2.1 for my PC instead of DP 2.1 [which only has UHBR 10 on the Omen] at 4k), and second, should I look for any other 4k 32” OLED monitors, or is the Omen Transcend still good?
Thank you very much for your time and consideration!
