New monitors don't work properly.

Armakar · September 29, 2017

I just got some new 24" LG 75HZ IPS screens, and they aren't working properly.

Whenever I boot my PC, everything is fine (i see the boot screen etc) but once Windows loads, I see nothing. One of the screens remain active, the others detect no input (which is normal on windows 10 lockscreen) but the one that remains on only shows a gray screen. If I leave it for 5 minutes, it'll turn on the windows lock screen eventually. Basiaclly, I have to wait 5 minutes on a gray screen before it'll show the lockscreen.

If I plug in my other monitor (not LG) it'l load up the lockscreen straight away.

Thoughts? I have "overclocked" them to 70hz but I doubt this is the issue?

Turn the overclock off, for now, re-install graphics drivers and then see if you can get it working. If not I would send it back, but I have never seen LG make something faulty.
