Hello,
I have an issue with HP X32 QHD Gaming Monitor. Which is stuch at RGB colour test loop. I cound not find any information about this test and how to stop it. I happens every time that monitor is powered. I was trying disconnect power for few minutes or even few hours but every time monitor is booted it is stuck at RGB test loop. I was also trying to hold every button in the back of the monitor for at least 30 seconds. But it did nothing with it. Maybe someone can help me find correct button combination to quit the test.
Best regards
