Hi i bought an lg 34um95 and a gtx 970, i also have 2 1080p monitors beside the lg 34um95. When then monitor goes to sleep or i turn it off, it disconnects from windows and i hear the disconnect sound and then it moves all my windows to the 2nd monitor. When its turned back on all the windows move to the top left of the monitor.
I've been googling and it seems this is a common issue not with my monitor but with displayport, that it has a pin that solely tells windows when the monitor is off and the work arounds are as follows
1. electrical tape over the pin, which i can't do as it's too small
2. switching to hdmi which does fix the issue but is limited to 50hz, so no
3. an edid config which means the desktop layout won't change when the monitor disconnects, which i cant do because the nividia control panel won't show the workstation section
I have been googling for ****ing hours and i can't find a way to gain access to the edid config through nividia control panel or to find a way to turn off windows auto detecting when a monitor is disconnected.
This apparently isn't an issue with amd cards due to recent update, so would i be better sending my 970 back and getting a r9 290x, or buying a new monitor that doesn't use display port (which rules out more or less every 4k monitor) or live with it and hope that maybe windows 10 or a new update from nvidia will fix it
