My pc is connected to my LG monitor via display port. I can't access bios or see post. I always thought this was due to the display port connection. Recently tried to install vmware on my server connecting to the same monitor using display port but couldn't see the bios post screen. I initially thought this was an issue with my hp server but after purchasing a Lenovo mini pc. I have the same issue yet again. It will boot into W10 but cannot see post or bios screen.

Connecting the dots and trying another monitor, I found all is well and it's my LG monitor causing the issue. Anyone shed any light on this ?

Ok, so downloaded the LG onscreen control software and it's saying I'm using the latest software.

Also I tried my Lenovo mini pc on my son's Samsung monitor and can access bios fine. Ive also tried a VGA cable from the Lenovo to my LG via a hdmi to VGA converter and no joy. Looking like I'm gonna have to buy a new monitor.
 
Is there by chance a "Deep Colour HDMI" (HDR) option? Or Instant Game Response type of option? If those or something similar to those are on the OSD menu, switch them off and see if that helps.

I had a similar issue on the LG CX, once I turned those (or related) options to off, I could see the BIOS boot up screen and BIOS again.
I've tried every alternative with my settings. Nothing fixes it.
