greenguava Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Hi all, So when the monitor should turn off when the computer goes into sleep or standby (My previous viewsonic turned it self off) the monitor starts blinking Sloid colors on the screen, one after another, about every seconed or 2. Red, Blue, Green and the like. Im having to make my computer go into a screen saver of a black screen to keep it from doing that, but id like it to turn off. Im using Dual monitors and the other one will turn off as soon as the Dell starts this blinking thing. Im using a 7800Gt video card. I hope someone has an idea, Ive checked some forums and google with out any luck. Thanks!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Threaded Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I've actually seen this happen, but on an Acer TFT. Go into the TFT's menu and find "Burn In" or similar, and turn it off. I'm not familiar with Dell/Sony TFTs, so the exact procedure is foreign to me. Shouldn't be difficult, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdamojo06 Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 I think that it is the dell monitor's "standby" mode...My old viewsonic would do this (the non-LCD thing (brain fart)) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenguava Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Well ive looked through the menu of the monitor, and couldn't find anything about sleep, power save or burnin.
