"wake the computer" is unchecked.

Is your monitor using VGA ?
Jeff-Relf.Me @. wrote:
Paul replied ( to me ): Try the following. No promises. If the monitor has a VGA input... My 60 Hz 4K monitor uses DisplayPort v1.2 . If all cables indicate they've fallen off, then perhaps the monitor is in the best position to put up the "No Signal" dialog. Preach ! Is your monitor using VGA ? if so, you can't duplicate my scenario. I wasn't attempting to duplicate it. I looked at the schematic of a monitor, to see what method they use. VGA uses ground sense. HDMI uses +5V sense (which isn't a good idea). DisplayPort is logically just like HDMI, so should use +5V sense as well. The VGA looked to me, to be the best port to try passively suppressing the incorrect logic of your monitor. Maybe you could put a Google ChromeCast on one of the ports, the kind that are powered by USB, and plug that into a USB port on the computer. Modern computers use +5VSB for the USB ports, so there would be a steady source of power on the display port of the ChromeCast. These are the best suggestions I can come up with, to try to trick your monitor into not doing that. Check your junk pile and see what sources you can use to "fake out" your monitor. The digital ports seem like they need power sources to be faked out. Paul |

My Philips bdm4037uw has only one "button": a joystick/button.

Paul replied ( to me ): Sometimes, certain combinations of those adjustment buttons on the LCD monitor, change how it works. My Philips bdm4037uw has only one "button": a joystick/button. Maybe you should find another hobby because computers ain't the hobby for you Jeff. Collecting pocket lint or door knobs might prove fun for you. |

You've gotten a lot of responses from people trying to help. Different people, different problems. Agree. And it's very much a first-world problem, not a big deal. I dunno, if it were such a big problem, there would be a solution, mitgation or work around. I hope you find a solution. I'm out of ideas. -- Kompressor |

I turn the brightness to zero, first thing, whenever I get a monitor.
On Sun, 14 Jul 2019 13:05:15 -0700 (Seattle), Jeff-Relf.Me @. wrote:
Mandy: turn down the brightness before retiring to sleep. If turned down until it is a mere glimmer, the gleam of the glowing advertisement should not be too painful even in the gloom of night. I turn the brightness to zero, first thing, whenever I get a monitor, and it stays there. Besides not wanting to see the advertisement, all the time, my (Swiss) eyes are far more sensitive than yours. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned the obvious solutions. 1. Move the computer out of the bedroom. or 2. Move the bed out of the computer room. |

DisplayPort is funky.

I am pretty sure I've got a firmware problem, not a hardware problem. DisplayPort is funky. VGA can't run 4K. I think Paul was suggesting that you use a VGA card to fake out the computer. He didn't suggest that you actually run the monitor from VGA. |

How to impede W10 from hibernating automatically?

At least, "/hibernate on" doesn't, the machine did not hibernate for hours, and the entry for hibernate disappeared from the start menu! I had to issue the command from the powershell as administrator to reestablish hibernation. I might live with that, for now... I will investigate other methods with calm, but at least I have one. -- Cheers, Carlos. |

15 seconds after the monitor is put to sleep.
On 14/07/2019 22.24, Jeff-Relf.Me@. wrote:
Carlos E.R. wrote: Acer doesn't display any logo when waking up from sleep. Nor does mine, that's standard. 15 seconds after the monitor is put to sleep { possibly from a RANDOM awakening }, as I'm starting to relax, "No Signal" flashes up, annoying the crap out of me. No monitor-review discusses this topic; I'm the only one that cares. I don't have that issue. But that is a bug between the operating system and the monitor. They don't usually document bugs, you know. -- Cheers, Carlos. |

15 seconds after the monitor is put to sleep.
On 14/07/2019 23.35, Jeff-Relf.Me@. wrote:
Paul replied ( to me ):: My Acer monitor sets the power LED to amber, when the RGBHV signals all go to zero DC. And the screen goes black. Fifteen seconds later, my monitor flashes a bright-white dialog screen that says "Attention: No Video Input". My monitor knows the difference between computer S1 sleep ( screen goes black ) versus cable has fallen off. When you put your monitor to sleep, you don't get "Attention: No Video Input" fifteen seconds later ? My TV sets do that in TV mode, but not when connected to a computer. The computer tells the monitor to go to sleep, does not disconnect. If the computer disconnects, so that the monitor thinks the signal was lost, it will say so. You computer is not talking correctly to the monitor. No, I don't get that notice on any of my computer displays - but most of them are not Windows, anyway. Only the laptop has Windows, and laptops are different. -- Cheers, Carlos. |

Seeing an advertisement, first thing in the morning.
Carlos replied ( to me ):
My Samsung displays "Samsung" in grey over a blue ellipse, the rest is black. The acer displays "acer" in green on black ( I just looked at both, switched off all the room lights ). None does a "super-annoying+blinding splash screen". My eyes are _ extremely _ sensitive -- far more than most; besides, I don't appreciate seeing an advertisement, first thing in the morning. |

I spent hours googling, looking for a better monitor.
No one knows how to stop the mouse
from accidentally waking the monitor; apparently, it can't be done. Device Manager - Mice and other pointing devices --Select your mouse --Properties---Power Management--- UNSELECT the box that says "Allow this device to wake the computer" --Save it. Did that, didn't work. Device Manager -- USB --- Find the USB port that the mouse is plugged into Go into Power Management and UNSELECT "Allow This Device To Wake The Computer". Nothing to de-select, not an option. If not, get a cover for the monitor No, I just turn the monitor towards the ceiling. or a blindfold to cover your eyes when you sleep. No, it's enough to just keep my eyes closed and/or not focus on bright objects. |
