It's the monitor .. In fact the PC made a sound like a USB device had been unplugged then the monitor went to sleep
Other than turning off the monitor and turning it back on I don't think there is a solution for that. I had the same issue and think that few other people have mentioned it not waking up from sleep properly. Tbh it wasn't that big an issue for me as I tended to turn off the monitor when I wasn't using it.
Yeah the AOC and I'm guessing the other 4K monitors on the same panel seem to have some built in power saving mode that causes some issues :|
This does seem to fix it:
-Turn off monitor
-Let computer go to sleep
-Wake up computer (give it a few seconds to make sure it's on)
-Turn on screen
Actually I think it's a mixture of a very small amount of blacklight bleed and colour shifts from viewing angles. I tend to run a web browser in the top 1/4 of the screen. This means that the left hand side of the page is at the extreme left of the monitor and the right hand side is in the dead centre, the colour shift is very noticable. With the slight shift due to backlight bleed (honestly It's barely noticeable even on a dark background) coupled with the fact that colours at the top and sides look lighter when my head is positioned in the centre of the screen, the colour shift is very obvious. However, if I move my head to look at the middle of the top 1/4 the colour shift isn't there... so i think it's just a TN limitation unfortunately.
edit: whoops, thought I had edited my previous post rather than quoting it!

Ill Give that a go .. other than that I'm loving this monitor, much better than the samsung one IMO
Oldish thread but here's my findings on the "flicker" issue after a couple of weeks:
1) For me it only ever happened after the screen had been turned off by the OS for power savings
2) Sometimes the screen would turn on and flicker occasionally afterwards, other times it would not turn back on at all.
However, preventing the screen being sent to sleep mode and just turning it off with the power button has completely removed all these issues for me. It's not ideal but it's something I can live with.
As best I can tell: If the monitor never goes into sleep mode, there is never an issue with it. However, once the issue appears it's there until the computer is rebooted. By never letting the monitor get put into power saving mode, the issue never arises.

Well, after my 3rd monitor failing I'm giving up on 4K for now.
I've done the same seems to buggy to be worth it
