Having a native DP monitor worked for me. I haven't had any blinking or blackout issues.

Does anyone know if there have been blanking problems with just using a native DP monitor? I'm seriously thinking about forgetting about the DP-->DVI adapter and just getting a nice 24" HP with native DP connection. I had exactly the same issue. I tried absolutely everything for over a month. 3 weeks ago, I gave up, purchased a Dell U2410 DP monitor and it hasn't had one single fault since. |

That's what I wanted to hear. And my apologies to ATI for the above disgruntled comments. Sounds like I simply got burnt trying to use a cheap substitute for a real DP monitor. Lesson learned. |

If I wasn't now officially broke, I'd try this: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Acoustic-Research-AR-489-Pro-II-Series-DVI-Repeater_W0QQitemZ380161365420QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item58836215ac Someone should. Since it's technically a signal problem... PS: I, of course, have the same issue as everyone else in here. Frustration is a gentle description of how this feels. |

I only have blanking out problems when the DP monitor is not my centre monitor. Once I set it to be my centre monitor so that regardless of what screen mode I am using, it always stays on, I have never had this issue again. I am using an Apple adapter, have an Accell adapter here but have never tried it because the Apple adapter is 100% reliable for me when the monitor is set to the centre screen. |

Does anyone know if there have been blanking problems with just using a native DP monitor? I'm seriously thinking about forgetting about the DP-->DVI adapter and just getting a nice 24" HP with native DP connection. I would like to say I've had my Dell Monitor (centre monitor with native DP) go off a few times. This only happens when loading games sometimes never when playing a game/at the desktop. It's usually to do with a resolution change from desktop to full screen all my monitors will go black but only the side monitors will return and the Dell just says no signal. Sometimes I don't see this problem for a few days but then it will keep happening repeatly for no apparent reason hehe. I think it's something to do with the response time of the monitor when changing resolution? As sometimes the dell takes up to 3 seconds to change resolution where as my 2 side monitors are instantish. |

I'm looking at an HP IPS monitor similar to the Dell. I already use an HP 24" monitor and have been extremely pleased with it. In any case, I'm resigned to the fact that there's no way to predict if any of this crap will work. |

For those that feel comfortable flashing their BIOS (note: may void warranty) and they are seeing DP issues on their HD 5870 could I ask that you try out the following BIOS: May I ask what the "may" means exactly in the sentence "may void warranty" ? something along the line : -if one break his own card while trying to flash the BIOS => warranty void ? or -more directly, if one flash the BIOS => warranty void ? Thanks for any precision. (note: I don't own a 5k card, but always wondered about this issue) |

Which monitor did you go with? I'd just as soon not re-invent the wheel... |

Just an update, My dell monitor hasn't blacked out for a good days days with a fair amount of gaming, I think it only does sometimes when my computer is really stressing out (for example, extracting while loading a game or just recovering from and install straight into loading)? That's just a guess :) |
