Yes I have swapped it over from the mini to a full DP cable and not had any issues for a few weeks now, do not no if this is down to the mini cable not liking the monitor or the Nvidia graphic card or just the cable being crap.

Thought i'd update this, after changing the displayport cable from the included mini to full dp to a "cable matters" full size displayport cable i've not noticed any glitches in the last few hours tonight. Oddly enough when i first got my 980 ti it refused to work with this cable, just tried it again tonight and worked right away.
Whbich one did you get and from where please?Thought i'd update this, after changing the displayport cable from the included mini to full dp to a "cable matters" full size displayport cable i've not noticed any glitches in the last few hours tonight.

Message in trust if you cant say on here. Thanks
Well i definitely noticed at least one glitch tonight.
Interesting how the glitches only ever affect one side of the screen as if its 2 halves stitched together. I wonder if this is more so a firmware issue or a hardware issue. That's a 295x2, a fury x and a 980 ti with a minidp and a full dp all producing the glitches but it seems lessened with the full cable.
And benq are very fussy about replacements as they want to see evidence of the glitch.
Single gpu.
When I had problems with the mini Dp cable that came with the Benq 4K on my gaming rig I swapped it out for the full size Dp cable that was being used on my old 2560 x 1440 which resolved the problem on the Benq, now on my old monitor that mini works perfectly but the difference is that the rig it is connected to is using a Radeon R7 250 with 4 mini dp ports. That got me thinking why not connect the Benq 4k to the Radeon R7 250 with the Mini Dp cable and give it a test. Well I have done that and have been using the Benq 4K monitor with out any issues since Monday morning and its been running for around 12 hours Monday and about the same Tuesday so that proves one thing it is not the mini Dp cable or in this case the monitor. I do not know what the cause of the issues are here but I think the GPU`s play a big part in this when it comes to 4K resolution.
Just an update, still getting the glitches and am again going to contact Benq about it this week. last night the screen went blank for several seconds which is a few times this has happened over the last lot of months. Irritating how Benq want a video of this as its totally random and would require me to be recording for hours on end for something that might not even happen, yet tell them that and they do nothing but regurgitate needing proof of it occurring.
That's a few dp cables and a few different gpu's over the last lot of months all of which had no effect on the glitches, so its obviously the panel.
Waiting on them getting back to me.
Without wishing to hijack the thread here - how's the AG on this monitor?
I tend to find most coating put on these monitors makes them incredibly grainy when viewing a white background and in turn distorts pictures i'm looking at, it's beyond annoying.
Reviews say this one is very light and barely noticeable, is that true?
