I hate my monitor for that. Entering the bios is guesswork about when to press a key if I remember what key to press. Also I can't turn it on too early before the PC or it will go to stand by after not receiving a signal for two seconds and then take even longer.
I want a monitor turns on and stays on.
What is there to guess? Just spam the fuck out of that key.
However, I also don't know why you're visiting the BIOS regularly.
Let me guess, samsung odyssey? Had one of those, never again.
Friend even called me that he has fucked up his pc rebuild - his Samsung monitor was just not waking up because it literally turns off.
All modern monitors are like this now. Dell, HP, Asus...
Doesn't detect input? Instant power off. Now you have to press the menu key every 5 seconds to try and find the input for your PC.
Beyond ridiculous. I have a Dell that's like 15 years old and it stays on for multiple minutes before going into power saving. It's glorious
I've learned the hard way that there's only one decent Samsung product line - from big appliances to little electronics - and it's their phones (and even those leave questions on privacy).
That's funny, while I still buy Samsung TVs, I hate their phones. So much of what their phones can do is usually locked to only working in Samsung's apps and those are universally dog shit. The phones themselves are also often privacy and user control nightmares.
Granted, there isn't a lot of good choices for phones these days. I'm still running an old LG phone and have been looking outside Android as my next possible solution. But, I also haven't had a reason to upgrade.
Have a Samsung TV and it's by far my least favorite. Turns off at random, takes forever to switch inputs, turns on at random...
As for phones I'm eyeing the Motorola RazrFold, since they're supposedly offering it Graphene-ready
Turn off all of the Energy Saving/Eco Solution crap. It will stop turning off and you will get s brighter inage that doesn't shift in brightness.
You should also switch to Movie mode in the picture settings and set dejudder/deblur (under Motion Clarity) to 0 while you're at it so it doesn't turn everything into 60 fps with fake frames.
I heard Samsung's SD cards are good
Their SSDs are/were considered amongst the best options, but I haven't looked into them since the 970 Evo days and they could be crap now for all I know.
Only SD card I've ever had die. I go with sandisk for important SD cards and team group for less important ones. Neither have ever failed.
It's an MSI but now looking at pictures ofequivalent samsung odysseys it might very well be the same monitor with a different sticker on the back.
And yes, it turns off, the PC doesn't see a monitor so it doesn't send a signal, and the monitor doesn't turn on either because it's not receiving any signal.
REISUB time when that happens.
Had the same behaviour with an acer monitor, that shit definitely flows from the same factory
Afaik it's a displayport issue (because DP has the feature to detect if PC is on). I've had the issue on multiple monitors that it wouldn't turn on the next time I booted the PC. After a lot of unsuccessful googling I finally found that the pc off-> monitor off -> pc on-> pc doesn't see monitor -> monitor stays off apparently happens because of a capacitor not discharging properly, getting the monitor stuck in "pc off" state. Flipping the monitor power switch (or disconnecting the power cable) for 15-20 seconds has so far always fixed it for me.
But maybe there are other reasons too.
Iβm not saying thatβs not the case, but it has both hdmi and displayport, and itβs happening with both, had it on either one, alternating, both plugged in, nothing plugged in and then jamming either cable in there as stuff was powering on, I did eventually resign myself to having to yank out the power cable and plug it back in when it was misbehaving. Nowadays itβs just sitting in a corner, seldom used, should honestly toss it but itβs still sorta works, when it feels like it.
I have a modern Lenovo monitor (2020) that takes longer to wake up than my hp monitor. So annoying.
Edit: aforementioned is from 2011 and is a zr2040w.
The Lenovo monitor is a d22e-20
i have a shitty little AOC 20 inch monitor that doesnt even any controls on it,connected via a Displayport to VGA adapter, and a big 27 inch dell monitor connected via HDMI.
the shit little monitor always wakes up like 2 seconds after the PC does, the dell takes for fuckin ever. often just waking up in time to see the OS login screen.
