I've heard about it having some weird incompatibilities with TVs from a friend of mine. He tried hooking it up to two different Samsung models when he bought the console at launch and got no picture at all. After spending about a week trying to get help from support and them being entirely unhelpful he actually went out and bought a Sony TV. Big surprise, that ended up working lol

Haha that is odd ;) But what I don't understand is that the monitor was working perfectly for 5 months and all of a sudden stopped. Unless some random update occurred that they didn't tell anyone about I don't know. It's just very frustrating.

this sounds like a HDCP handshake problem (those can occur without any good reason)

try to disable HDCP, the option is in Settings -> System

start PS4, X, up, 6 times right, X, 17 times down, X, 5 times down, X, X   should do the trick, if you have to do it without a screen
