It is clear that when I shut down the PC, the screen should also be switched off. I don't need it anymore. Then why is he still on and looking for input? (I don't want to manually turn off the screen every time)
the setup is laptop → HDMI → monitor
Screen: Samsung something
Laptop: ATIV Book 9 Plus NP940X3G-K01AT
when starting up, I also have to turn on the screen manually, I noticed when I asked the question
I always used to be like that. At some point you get used to it
It is completely normal. You also have to turn on a TV, turn on the console and if you turn it off later the TV stays on. The PC is only a signal for the screen, apart from that they are not connected to each other
The screen does not turn off because it only shows what is happening on the PC. The monitor has no built-in system that detects when the associated PC is turned off
For this you need a PC socket (master-slave), into which you insert the PC as master, which then switches off all slave sockets (monitor, printer, boxes, etc.) when you switch it off (greatly reduced power consumption at the master socket). Switches off. You can get things like this from electronics discounters for around 20 euro, sometimes from Aldi or Lidl.
Thanks, there's no better answer to my question
But I have a laptop. So would I have to connect the charging cable as a master? But interesting. So screens are not yet smart enough to check that the PC is / is no longer running?
So on my PS4, the TV automatically turns on / off. But is also Smart Tv. Or maybe it is because my father has connected a part that switches the devices on, etc. Etc. K.A. One of the two
My pleasure
Great… Actually, you write this in the question that it is a laptop because as a PC it is usually A stand computer called. This certainly does not work with the laptop because it would charge if it was switched off; unless it is a device that is permanently attached to the power supply and the battery is already TOT.
This also has nothing to do with intelligence in the case of monitors, because when a device is switched off, it can no longer notice anything… As a result, the monitor must be at least in standby (which it already is) or in sleep mode to switch on switching on the signal source to respond.
Can't you build a screen that is constantly in sleep mode, constantly looking for a power-on signal or input (and then turning it on completely)?
That wouldn't be so sophisticated about it, would it? Or are there any technical restrictions today that make this absolutely impossible?
I could keep the screen on and then it would do exactly what I wanted it to do. But then he keeps looking for input, so that's what bothers.
Could the whole thing be solved by deactivating the automatic input search on the screen? Choosing the right input and then leaving the screen on forever?
Would that be a bad idea? I only think that unnecessary (how high?) Electricity consumption could become a problem. On the other hand, it can be that the lifespan is reduced from the screen when there are 5 years of electricity flowing through it, right?
