I have gotten a new LG monitor (27GN800-B) to replace my main monitor in my dual monitor setup, and it is a very nice upgrade from my admittedly very old monitor. However, there is one problem that I have discovered with this monitor: Whenever Windows puts the display to sleep it disconnects the monitor, causing windows, and icons to get shuffled. From my research this doesn’t seem to be an isolated problem with just this monitor or even LG monitors as a whole, it’s a problem with a lot of DisplayPort monitors. The best solution seems to be to go into the settings in the monitor and disable DP deep sleep, but my new monitor doesn’t seem to have that option. The next best workaround seems to be set windows to never sleep the monitors which will avoid the problem.
Is there another solution that I don’t know about? Any help would be appreciated.
I have had the same issue with my LG for years. I was excited about the Windows feature @Mastic_Warrior mentioned, but I don’t know if it will get pushed to Windows 10 as it seems MS decided to make that a selling point for Win11.
Maybe I’ll give this PersistentWindows thing that Wendell mentioned a try
i stopped trying to fix this issue. and just use
winkey+p
and select extend.
i leave the lg on standby so when i select 2 screen mode it just pops up…
but…
any icons from the mane desktop, placed on the extended screen will go to there previous location if i switch to single screen mode. end result i dont move icons to the second screen
it would be nice if the multi desktop flipper could be changed to show the second desktop on the other screen. but nope. if you switch desktops both screens switch.
