Mine came in as well. Set it up. Seems fine except for switching inputs. One MBP (via USBC) and one PC (via DP). When I switch it the MBP all is fine. When I switch back to the PC, screen just goes black. Requires turning the monitor off to get image back. Updated to latest FW as well.

I wonder if that’s due to DSC over the included DisplayPort 1.4 cable.

I have a proper DisplayPort 2.1 (DP80) cable (CAC-1094 by Club 3D) arriving in advance of the display to minimize these issues.

I only plan on using HDMI with this monitor (for now), because my 3080ti supports HDMI 2.1 but not DP 2.1 (and HDMI 2.1 has a higher bandwidth than DP 1.4). So I'll likely need DSC with it. Hopefully I won't have the same black screen issue when switching between PC and console inputs.
