Please Help! Monitor stopped switching to HDMI when DVI source is active

[Serj Angelo]

Hi, guys, I'm new to the forums and hope someone can help me out as I'm getting kinda desperate.

 

I have an old LG 23ea63 monitor and I kept my ps4 hooked up to it via HDMI, and my PC - via the DVI port.
The monitor has an "input" button to switch between modes, and it worked fine until I gave the console to my friend to play for a few days.

I now have it back and hooked it the way it was, but now the monitor refuses to switch to the HDMI output whenever PC is on giving feed via the DVI port.

Thing is, the actual HDMI connection is working fine because when the PC is shut down and it can't locate the DVI source, it switches to HDMI automatically.
But whenever the PC is on and I try to switch from the DVI image (which it locates as a priority) to HDMi one, it will just blink and turn back on the DVI.

Here's a video of what happens:

 

 

Tried two different cables, tried, resetting the monitor settings to defaults, PS4's HDCP setting is turned off unplugging everything from the monitor, but the same issue persists.

 

Funny thing is, when I connect my PS3 to the monitor with the same cable, it will switch to it via the "switch" button with the PC turned on, but whenever the HDMI signal is lost (when changing resolutions, for example), it automatically switches to DVI whereas it never used to before.

 

Also, the monitor won't find any signal at all when the DVI cable isn't pluged in, even when the PS4 is switched and hooked up via HDMI, but it always used to be like that from what I remember.

Hey man nice setup BTW. There should be an option in the on-screen menu that auto-detects sources and switches to them, maybe try turning that off, should fix the issue.

 

Good Luck!  

 

Edit: there's also a "Plug & Play" feature in that monitor, see if you can turn that off.

Hi, thanks alot for reply!

Sadly, no such option on the monitor's menu. Also tried resetting everything from it, but no help either.

 

As for the Plug & Play, do I have to disable it on the Windows somewhere? Because now that I think of it, there was indeed some Windows update when the PS4 was in my bud's hands that could screw things over somehow. But not sure.

I don't think there's an option in windows. I suggest you search the on screen display to see if you missed an option. If there's no way to turn the auto-source selection off that's an error on LG's part.

 

It's probably because it prioritizes the PC over and connection.  

 

Best of Luck!

Yup, no such option - the settings menu is pretty barebones. 

That's fine, ty. I'll keep searching for options and if nothing works will prolly get me a new monitor
