Super black background screen on AOC Monitor with DirecTV Need Help

Hi everyone,

Super black background screen appears when I try to use my DirecTV receiver with my AOC G2770PQU monitor. When I switch to the HDMI input, I get a "No Signal" message on the screen.

My setup includes an HDMI splitter connected to my DirecTV receiver, Xbox 360, and PS3. I have tried switching out the HDMI cable and connecting the DirecTV receiver directly to the monitor, but nothing works. Strangely, one time I had the Xbox on, switched the splitter to the DirecTV input, and the DirecTV signal showed up.

However, as soon as I powered down the Xbox, the DirecTV signal disappeared again.

Any ideas on what might be causing this or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Hello @romromillys. Have you attempted to connect your DIRECTV receiver directly to your AOC monitor instead of using the splitter? Additionally, could you let us know the model of your receiver? Stephanie, DIRECTV Community Specialist

Is the monitor HDCP compatible?

To connect multiple inputs to a single HDMI input port you need an HDMI switch not splitters.
