I noticed that when I started SlingTV or Netflix my new Dell monitor would lose sync for like 5 seconds and then the display would return. I had a feeling something changed with the refresh rate that made the monitor want to rescan the inputs.

I turned off "Auto Select" input source in the display menu and just made sure the input was locked on HDMI1. Problem gone.

Thought I'd post this in case anyone else has experienced this.

It might be related to HDR settings, as Windows has some awkward HDR handling. Might be worth checking the HDR page under Display Settings, as there's an option for the computer to switch to HDR for streaming, so it might be switching over or even just trying to switch over.
