I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Z400 Touch laptop (Intel Core i7-3520M) with an Intel 3rd gen video controller connected via HDMI to an LG 29UB67-B Ultra Wide monitor at 2560 * 1080 that I've just bought. The laptop does have a Nvidia card as well, but I'm not using it.
The problem is that the image disappears intermittently as if I had turned off the monitor. After 5 or less seconds, it comes back again.
It happens at random intervals, like 10 minutes, 2 minutes, or even 2 seconds.
Questions:
1) What is the source of this randomness?
2) How do I fix it?

Also, more details please:
- why did you pass the other options to i915? This issue or something else?
- does this also happens at lower resolutions?
- X11, wayland or console (or all)?
- desktop session type (in case)?
- dmesg, xorg log?
- in case of X11 "xrandr -q -v"
- because "HDMI": cable. It's always the cable™…

Looks like the HDMI port on my laptop is a bit loose...
