Why am I losing my monitors display?
I have a Iiyama Prolight 2710HDS LCD monitor which does the following while in use:
Display is lost but not just to black, takes a second to 'break down' and disappear to black, can't see anything on the screen, power light is still on and has power
or the display goes black then washes out to white (which is far less often).
Windows settings are not power saving or affecting the power of the monitor.
I have another identical panel so have used this to test both outputs on the graphics card, both DVI cables and both power leads which has isolated it to the monitor itself. I use the monitor with a laptop also as the monitor has auto switching and use the laptop on the HDMI port of the monitor and this is generally ok all day long but very occasionally it does lose the screen but on my PC it loses the screen usually after a couple of minutes after booting up. Is this repairable or is the mainboard faulty? I have a multimeter and the like and don't mind tearing stuff down but this is new to me...thanks.
Questa è una buona domanda?

@rockingdad explain this “ loses the screen usually after a couple of minutes” in more detail. Have you check the backlight? In a darkened room, shine a flashlight at an angle against the screen. See if you can make out your desktop etc. Let us know what you find. Also, since settings on your OS snd software do not make a difference, disassemble the monitor and post some good pictures of the boards inside your monitor. That way we can see what you see.
