Product: HP pavilion 22CWA
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Brand new HP 22CWA monitor plugged into wall and using a brand new HDMI cord

 

Occasionally and randomly, monitor will flash black multiple about three times in a row

 

unplugging does not fix, restarting computer only helps for about 20 minutes.

 

Mianly occurs when switching between windows on monitor but i cannot stop changing what i am looking at being i use this for work.

 

issue is lightly affecting my epilepsy.

 

If issue continues i will probably return this and buy a different brand. PLEASE HELP

I have had problems with the 27xw flickering black when playing videos in Firefox.  I noticed that when the HP display's menu was up, it did not blink on and off with the computer screen rendered behind it.  This led me to discover that the solution is to open the NVidia control panel, go to "Adjust Desktop Color Settings" and change "Content type reported to the display" to either "Desktop Programs" or "Full screen videos".  If that setting is on "Auto-Select (Recommended)" the display blinks off randomly.
