Apologies for missing this thread. I am confused by your post. The P2411H does not have DisplayPort in? It has DVI in and VGA in? So how are you connecting to a video card that has DisplayPort out? Anytime you go from DP through a converter to a different port, you will run into issues. For this monitor and troubleshooting, you want to be connecting in one of these two ways = video card DVI out to Monitor DVI in video card VGA out to Monitor VGA in
It is connected from the monitor- DVI to Video card- Mini Display Port adapter. Look up AMD ATI 7990 Graphics card you will see the mini display port.
It is interesting how one screen works fine and goes into screen saver mode the other one does not go into power save mode but just goes into that loop, and yes I have swapped them and the cables and changed the video card with 4 different kinds of cards
If all four monitors are using identical cable configurations = Video card mDP out --> mDP to DVI adapter --> DVI to DVI cable --> Monitor DVI in
Connect First P2211H as Primary, First P2411H as Secondary. Test Power save Connect First P2211H as Primary, Second P2411H as Secondary. Test Power save
Connect Second P2211H as Primary, First P2411H as Secondary. Test Power save Connect Second P2211H as Primary, Second P2411H as Secondary. Test Power save
By the way, the images for the AMD ATI 7990 show four mDP and one DVI?

So this your setup?
AMD ATI 7990 mDP out --> mDP to DVI adapter --> DVI to DVI cable --> P2411H DVI in
Are there any video cards with DVI out to test straight DVI to DVI?
