HDMI works on one of my displays, not the other.

I got a PS4 for Christmas and decided to plug it in to my PC since I've got a 30" display (Dell U3011) that supports HDMI. I plug it in, nothing happens - repeat about 5x still nothing. Plugged in to my wife's display and it works, I unplugged her's immediately and plugged it back in to my display, and now my display worked. Navigated a few menus and then my screen goes blank. Plug it back in to her's, it works, back in to mine again and it works again for a bit and then goes blank again. Obviously, this would take me *forever* to finish a game So, it seems as though when the PS4 goes to sync-up or re-initialize the graphics or something like this, I lose sync. Plugging it in to my wife's display somehow corrects that and so going back in to my display just appears as a momentary connection loss to the PS4 but not so much it can't continue. So, it does continue and I get to see the image for a bit until it decides to re-initialize again. What the crap is up with this? My PS4 is up-to-date and I've tried turning off HDCP. I'm not sure what the behavior pattern is if a display does not support HDCP (maybe that is what I'm seeing) but I suppose that's a possibility. I am going to try harder to find my particular user's manual online after this post. Anyway, if anyone knows what's up, I'd appreciate it.

My display does support HDCP and the HDMI version is 1.3 on this display that doesn't work. PS4 should support 1.3 so I'm not sure why this is happening to me.

One more piece of information: When I do switch back to my display and go in to the screen resolution settings, each setting has (Unsupported) following it. So, for eg: 1080p (Unsupported) 1080i (Unsupported). All of them have the "unsupported" so I guess that's the problem, the PS4 thinks this display can't do those resolutions. My display is a high-end display, it most certainly can do any mode the PS4 may want. Thanks for any info.

I have read that on some displays if you put the HDMI from PS4 into any other HDMI port than number 1 it can cause problems, i am not sure why but its worth a try.
