Hi guys,
Recently grabbed a new TV and have been having a bit of trouble with it.
I usually run a single 27" through DVI. Occasionally I would have another DVI screen, and sometimes my old TV via HDMI. These screens were hot swappable, I could literally plug em in they would pop up, and unplug em and they would go. They would be removed from windows displays / screen reslution windows immediately upon unplugigng.
Now I got a new Sony Bravia KDL 42W653A. I have the main 27" via DVI only. When I plug this Sony in via HDMI nothing happens until I restart my PC. Then it pops up and works as expected. However if I removed the HDMI cable the monitor is still being recognized as connected by Windows. It's not until I reset a second time does Windows recognize the screen is gone.
So the problem with this is that I have to restart everytime I want to plug/unplug the screen. It's annoying as my other monitors have all be hot swappable plug n play. Is this a result of HDCP? If not I have no idea what is going on!
Things I've tried:
Reinstalling Drivers
Uninstalling Monitors via Device Manager (weird thing is, if I unplug the sony then try to uninstall it via device manager each scan for hardware changes finds it again)
Deleting all custom color profiles
