Hi,
here is my setup:
Laptop: Dell Inspiron 15 7000 (2015) - model 7548
connected via USB 3.0 to
Docking Station: Dell Docking Station USB 3.0 - model D3100
connected via DisplayPort cable to
Monitor: Dell U2414H
I have both the laptop screen and the external monitor ON to work in dual screen setup. In windows 8.1 the external monitor is set a primary display.
Also fyi, as the monitor also serves as USB 3.0 hub, I have an USB 3.0 cable running from the Docking Station to the Monitor.
Everything works fine in general BUT, randomly, the external monitor U2414H goes on Power Saving Mode... Sometimes it will be for 3 seconds, sometimes for more, until I press the power button many times. It is really random but out of the randomness, I feel it happens the most when I watch a video online (I would not be able to tell if it is when I play a default 480p video or when I toggle it to 1080p).
Can anyone help me please? I bought everything Dell on purpose in the hope of having everything working smoothly together.
Many thanks,
Bruno
