Purchased a system from Oc on may 21st this year and the dell u2515h was part of my bundle. Up to now everything has been fine, until last night when my screen started to randomly go black.
First thought was **** whats wrong, graphic card,monitor, what. i swapped cables and at first nothing seemed to fix the issue, i do not have a 2nd monitor or another graphic card to try so i was limited in what i could try, thought drivers but nothing was different from the previous evening when it was last switched on and played flawlessly (graphic card is nvidia gtx 970).
Anyway after maybe 90 minutes the flickering stopped and the monitor was fine, has anyone else on here experienced the problem? it would appear that after googling the problem i am not the only 1 to have suffered this and am thinking should i return it or what.
i have posted a link to a video i managed to do on my mobile phone, ignore the bright white light when the screen comes back on that was part of my amateur videoing.
