I have
- Dell Latitude 5580 Laptop
- Dell D6000 Docking Station
- 2 x Dell UltraSharp U2412MB Monitors (Connected via DisplayPort on dock)
- 1 x Dell UltraSharp U2917W Monitor (Connected via HDMI on dock)
The U2917W has an intermittent flicker that is about to send me to the rubber room. It's just enough to be highly annoying. The other two monitors occasionally blink on and off, but I can live with that (sad that I have to).
What I've done that hasn't made a difference:
- Dell has replaced the dock twice, no change
- New cables multiple time
- Switched monitors around
- Dell has replaced the mother board twice (still not sure why)
- Updated and replaced drivers over and over again
Here's an interesting tidbit, if I unplug the HDMI cord from the dock and plug it directly into the laptop's HDMI port, the flicker goes away. This is what I'm doing with the flicker get's too annoying, but I hate the solution. I should be able to plug in the single USB 3 cable and it should work (I know...right!).
Dell support has been good at contacting me, and they have asked me to try the things I've already tried, but I honestly believe they don't know why this is happening. I see that others are having similar problems with this dock. Can anyone think of something else I can try!
Thanks!!
