Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

    Had a problem like this a year ago, figured out it was because I was using display port. Some weird quirk of its protocol basically fubars it.

    Switching to hdmi cables fixes the problem.

    But HDMI cables have bigger issues so I just learned to deal with the problem.

      I don’t really have an option. I have four monitors and four video outputs, and only one output is HDMI. In fact, three of the cables are DP to HDMI because I don’t have any DP capable monitors. So yeah.

      Seems like this would be something to be producing logs on for community developers in hopes of finding a solution though. Could you maybe point me to the info you found on this? I’d be interested to see if there’s any timeline that anyone is working toward in fixing it.
