Monitor: power off mode

Post by themaster1 »

Anyone have problems with the monitor not being able to "sleep" for a long period of time? Generally when i "set it off" the monitor power on itself after a few minutes. It must have something to do with windows but i don't know what !

Ideas are welcome

I think your right the master.

I have noticed when I am running a media player like MPC the screen will pop right back on after a few seconds. With BeyondTV the monitor will shut down and stay shut down (until the mouse or a button clicks).

You might see what program/action could be causing it to wake and disable/minimize it somehow.
