My monitor keeps turning off - davemchine - 10-20-2022 Every few minutes my monitor turns off even though my new mini is setup to "never". Is there anything more I can do? BTW it's a Dell U2723QE UltraSharp. Re: My monitor keeps turning off - Bernie - 10-20-2022 Turns off or goes to sleep? Doesn't matter as I have no answer either way. Energy saver? Re: My monitor keeps turning off - davemchine - 10-21-2022 The screen goes completely black but hitting the space bar wakes it back up. So maybe off was the wrong wording as I don't have to hit the power button. Re: My monitor keeps turning off - gadje - 10-21-2022 seems like a Mac issue, not a Monitor issue. Check your Energy Saver settings in System Preferences. Re: My monitor keeps turning off - mattkime - 10-21-2022 Yeah, if you have trouble with your energy saver settings, it might be helpful to post screen shots. Re: My monitor keeps turning off - Filliam H. Muffman - 10-21-2022 There is a chance a different monitor cable will fix it. Re: My monitor keeps turning off - CJsNvrUrly - 10-21-2022 Mine was doing the same thing. I haven't figured out why. Re: My monitor keeps turning off - Diana - 10-21-2022 Energy Saver allows for never turning the monitor off. Check your screen saver settings. They range from one minute to an hour, with no way to turn it off in Preferences. Re: My monitor keeps turning off - Gareth - 10-21-2022 The monitor might have its own energy saving settings that might have gone wonky. I have one monitor (out of 3) that likes to randomly go into its own energy saving mode while I'm actively working. I just set that monitor to never go into its energy saving mode to see if that makes a difference (it was previously set to 8 hours, so it was obviously ignoring that). I believe it will still go into energy saving mode when the computer does so (I just made the setting change yesterday). |
