Photoshop causing monitor to switch on/off

Question

Whenever I perform an action within photoshop (scrolling, clicking etc.) it is causing my monitor to quickly turn off and on (as if the display is switching when you apply physical settings).

It has never done this before.

Has anyone encountered this before?

I am having the exact same problem. Is your main monitor a g-sync monitor? I have heard Adobe software doesn't behave well with g-sync. I tried disabling it in the nvidia control panel but now my monitor screen turns off everytime I click or use the brush tool like you described.

Hi guys.I had the same issue with a AOC-monitor. When I moved the mouse cursor over an opened picture/project in Photoshop, the monitor turns off - and the turns on again, if I hold the mouse still. As soon as I move it again, it turns off again. Tried turning off Freesync physically in the monitors menu - as suggested in this thread - but that did not work. But reducing the monitors refreshrate from 60Hertz to 50Hertz did the trick! I have no idea why - I just tried a bunch of different things. (System settings>Screen>Advanced settings>Refresh rate) Hope this helps!
