    Hello, i have a new-ish (2-3 months old) xg2401. I have those scan lines randomly appearing when i go back to my games after alt-tabbing. It happens ~2 times / week. In occasion, it also happenned when launching the game, i didn't even alt-tab. Pictures : http://imgur.com/a/HlU70

    Other symptoms :

        -Once it happens, i get "scan lines" on every thing, desktop included. Rebooting is the only fix.
        -Powering off (with the button), removing the cable (video or power), give a "no signal" when i plug it back. I can still open the display menu.
        -Screenshots taken are fine and do not show the scan lines.
        -The On Screen Display menu is also fine, and do not have those scan lines.

    At first, i though i was some kind of stereoscopic 3D thing activating, so i uninstalled nvidia 3d drivers. Still happening. I even cleaned my graphics drivers with DDE, and reinstalled them.

    Thanks you !

      Lastest drivers are installed. CG is a GTX 970 by the way. Didn't had the problem with my previous monitor.

        The driver from EVGA and Nvidia is the same version.
