UP3214Q/UP2414Q - 1/2 screen issue and/or No picture after powering off, then on

I got some more problems with the UP3214Q: Every couple of computer starts, once I get the login screen displayed, only half the screen shows a picture (the right hand side), with the left half being black. After login, I get the full picture. Prior to the login screen, I also have full screen picture (BIOS screen, Windows loading screen). The second issue is even more annoying: If I power off the device while my PC is still running, then power it back on, I will never get a picture again. No amount of hitting random keys and klicking about (I can hear windows and moan in the background If I manage to blindly hit the wrong option) will get back any picture. Neither will switching to another input then back, nor will unplugging the displayport cable from the machine, or putting the machine to sleep and returning it back from sleep. The only way to get the picture back is to shut down the shut down the machine completely, then boot it up again. Is this supposed to happen or is something wrong with my display?

Mine is the 24inch version and it displayed all the symptoms everyone is discussing for the 30inch.

I organised for replacement on the 23rd of December, as it developed a dim section in the panel.

Anyway a very apologetic Dell CS, told me that the monitor won't be available till in the new year, with no eta and that it will be will be shipped direct from factory. 

Who knows maybe Dell found a fault that need it to be rectified in the factory or potentially Australia was only allocated a few of these monitors. 

Finally I got it the replacement on the 10th of January. I haven't tested the sleep issue on the new replacement, as I don't usually let my computer go to sleep.

But will update here if anyone is interested. Also is there a way knowing if it had a revision change?

I am planning on getting another 24 HD might wait if this is an hardware issue.

Hello,

I have the same problems. After calling the Dell Support, they told me to replace the monitor. Now I have to wait for a new one.

I am on my 2nd 32" replacement (3 monitors total) - all with the same issues.

Well, I think my issues are more related due immature GPU drivers for tiling mode in K4 @60hz (+win 8.1 scaling )and that it will improve over time. Luckily most of the time things here are working and in case of a sudden mismatch, switching the power on and off helps. Like I said, once seen this screen, you can't go back anymore :D Only thing I can come up to is try to change the cable DP-DP.

I also have the problem that the monitor will not wake from sleep. Interestingly, if I power it off, then let it sleep, I can wake it up and *then* power it back on and all is good. EVA GeForce 780 (3GB), Dell-supplied DP cable, Windows 7 x64, GeForce drivers 331.82 WHQL.

I tried the 332.32 WHQL drivers and never saw the desktop: just black screens. If I use SST mode, everything seems happy, but switching to MST & 60Hz is when the trouble starts (which is, of course, how I want to use this monitor).

Chris

I am having similar issues with the up2414q  running windows 8.1 with half screens at 60hz.. I am using an AMD firepro W5000 card, driver 13.25.18.1 .  It is hit and miss for a full screen with frequent powering the monitor off then on, logging out then back in, and rebooting. Are you also working with AMD?

 

Thanks

I was told today that getting monitor exchanges will not fix the issues. Nvidia told us that drivers after 327.xx will have issues. We are working with Nvidia on this. Roll back your driver to 327.xx. That should stop the blank screen and the 1/2 screen issue. Please test those 327.xx drivers.

I never had this issue running v331.xx of the Nvidia drivers and I used both WHQL and beta releases. I hope this is in fact an Nvidia driver issue that can be fixed.

Well I've owned a total of 4 different UP3214Q displayed and it isn't until I plugged in the 4th that I started to have this exact issue - half screen display when using 60Hz MST mode.

Unfortunately, I recently switched video cards so I can't tell if the issue is the display, the cards or the drivers. System hardware can be found here.

What about those of us having an 780TI? Will those olden drivers even support a card that was released months after the 327.23 drivers were? In the list of supported products, it doesn't mention the 780TI.

Same Problem to me. I am using an EVGA GTX 780 TI ACX Classified. Till NVIDIA will fix the problem, I am using 331.93. 332.xx has more Problems.

So I tried the 327 series driver but of course it won't install because it doesn't know the 780TI. So, I went forward to the 331.27, the first driver release to support the 780TI. And that was a disaster. Not only did it have the exact same problems, but it added one on top: After boot, you wouldn't get a login screen (rather, you get no signal), and I had to switch inputs to something else, then back to even get a login screen (and after that, the usual power off = no signal issue).

I went through every combination of cable/port/adapter I could find, no dice.

I also got my replacement screen today. Still Revision A00, manufactured in November (versus October for the first screen). Again, no change.

While we're at this, any chance some of you guys with nVidia card could check if you also have this issue: In DisplayPort 1.2 mode, you cannot configure any custom resolution between 1920x1080 and 3840x2160 - more about this here
