Hi @maco75,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

A delay on startup for an HP M27h FHD Monitor can be due to several reasons, such as power settings, firmware, connection issues, or display settings. Here are some steps you can take to diagnose and potentially fix this issue:

1. Check Power Settings

• Ensure that the monitor is not set to a power-saving mode that delays startup.
• Go to the monitor's on-screen display (OSD) menu and navigate to the power settings. Disable any power-saving features.

2. Update Firmware

• Check if there is a firmware update available for your monitor. You can find firmware updates on the HP Support page.
• Follow the instructions provided by HP to update the firmware if an update is available.

3. Check Connections

• Ensure that all cables (power and video) are securely connected.
• Try using a different HDMI or DisplayPort cable to see if the issue persists.
• Connect the monitor to a different power outlet to rule out power issues.

4. Adjust Display Settings

• Access the monitor's OSD menu and reset the display settings to default.
• Make sure the input source is correctly set to the connected device (HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.).

5. Update Graphics Drivers

• Update the graphics drivers for your computer. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause issues with monitor performance.
• Download and install the latest graphics drivers from the manufacturer’s website (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel).

Hi @maco75,

Please find the next steps below.

6. Test with a Different Device

• Connect the monitor to a different computer or device to see if the startup delay persists. This can help determine if the issue is with the monitor or the original device.

7. Disable Fast Startup (Windows)

• If you are using a Windows PC, try disabling Fast Startup:
  1. Open the Control Panel.
  2. Go to Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do.
  3. Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.
  4. Uncheck Turn on fast startup.
  5. Click Save changes and restart your computer.

8. Monitor Self-Test

• Perform a self-test on the monitor to check for any internal issues. Refer to the monitor’s user manual for instructions on how to perform a self-test.

Additional Tips:

• Ensure that the monitor is running at its native resolution and refresh rate.
• Avoid using any adapters or converters, as they can sometimes cause delays or signal issues.

By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and potentially fix the startup delay issue with your HP M27h FHD Monitor. If the problem persists, Contact HP Phone Support for further assistance and potential warranty service.
