I used to have an Asus monitor at work that would freeze completely if I had a macbook plugged in when it woke from sleep. I had to always remember to first press some buttons to wake it up then plug in my laptop. If I forgot, I would have to unplug it from the wall, unplug my laptop (so it didn't just immediately freeze again), plug it in and let it boot up, then plug in my laptop.
That and a very poorly made Asus laptop left me with the impression that while they might build good motherboards, that quality didn't necessarily extend other products.

- nfriedly 3y agoYeah, my current LG monitor had some bugs with DP 1.4 that were resolved through a firmware update. It was a replacement for a different LG monitor that falsely advertised 60W USB PD "laptop charging", when it could only actually deliver 15W. (Which is not enough to charge most laptops.) (I think the current one also has some false advertising, because they claim it supports a 75hz refresh rate, but I've never been able to get more than 60hz out of it. Before the DP 1.4 firmware fix, it was stuck at 30hz sometimes.)
