I have the LG UM57 25UM57 25" ultrawide monitor. The thing is that when Windows goes standby for the video signal for the monitor (being powered on but with screen off, the monitor), the monitor thinks it really stopped receiving video signal and turns off (like when PC is off or nothing is attached to monitor). After that, the only way to turn it on the screen again is to press the monitor power button again, not just moving the mouse or pressing a key. It is really annoying.
It happened since I got this monitor like three months ago. The interesting part is this. When I upgraded my PC with a new motherboard, CPU and RAM (but same GPU, PSU, hard disk), I reinstalled completely from scratch Windows (Windows 8.1 and after an upgrade to Windows 10), Windows did not installed automatically an nvidia GPU driver like it did with the previous system (with same GPU). With that generic driver (on 1024 x 600, or similar resolution), the monitor did go to standby correctly, moving the mouse did turn the screen on normally. After installing the nvidia driver 359.06 at that time, the same problem appeared again :/
I recently upgraded the driver to latest release 361.43, but same problem. I searched a lot, but found nothing similar, can anyone help me?.
This is my system now:
Intel Core i5 6500, Asus Z170-A, AMD 8GB DDR4-2133 ram, Nvidia Geforce GTX560, Windows 10 Professional 1511 build 10586.36, LG UM57 25UM57 connected with an HDMI cable with an DVI adapter (cant use mini HDMI connector on GPU, not enough space thanks to my case
).
