I recently got an AW3418DW Monitor. My laptop is also Alienware (M17R5). When I first got this monitor I didn’t have a DisplayPort so I just used the HDMI port on my laptop to the monitor, however the HDMI on the monitor is limited to 50Hz. My laptop has a USBC (DP) port so I’ve bought a Dell USBC -> DP adaptor and used that to plug in the DisplayPort cord to the monitor so that I can get 100hz+ refresh rate.
Now here’s the issue, when using HDMI I had absolutely zero issues, working perfectly fine, picture is sexy crisp and flawless image. But, when I use the DisplayPort on the monitor it can’t go 1 minute without flickering to a black screen then back on then black screen. This is constant. Non-stop flickering on DP connection. My laptop is perfectly capable of using USBC to DP, but this fricken monitor just will not work without flickering, and I’m not even Overclocking it.
Here’s the trouble shooting I’ve tried so far;
- buying a DP to USBC direct cable, didn’t work
- using multiple DP cables, same issue
- plugging in my partners MacBook, works perfectly fine (Grrrr)
- trying the “turn off power, unplug, wait 30seconds, plug in, turn on” method
- disabling hybrid graphics, doesn’t make a difference
- fully reinstalling/wiping computer to reinstall windows 11, no difference
- reinstalling Nvidia drivers, amd drivers etc, no difference
- praying to a god I don’t believe in, didn’t work
However, using a USBC-> HDMI works without flickering, which just pisses me off like cmon, HDMI works fine but 50Hz, but DP flickers like crazy but that sexy 120Hz. I can’t catch a break.
Does anyone know any genies to grant me a wish to fix this problem. I’ve been stuck on it for 2 weeks now and cannot fix this fricken problem on the DP flickering to black screen constantly. I’m going insane. Please help. I’m desperate.
