  1. How to screen saver / blackscreen a single monitor of 5, or group of?


    5 screen system. 4 at work station, one remote TV monitor.


    An hour of searching including environmental how to black a single monitor 5, or black the 4 displays when not in use while using 5 for periods of time, didn't find anything. Perhaps I'm using the incorrect terminology, but 4 screens light a room pretty good and is both annoying and a waste of electricity.


    Suggestions?


    Turning a screen off causes the system to compensate / readjust screens and icons.

    :)

    Screen saver for dual monitors

    Well, problem solved - sort off! I have got it working via the Google Photos Screensaver. Different images appearing on the two monitors. The difficulty now is that the image is the correct size on the main monitor (3840 x 2160) but oversized on the secondary monitor (1920 x 1200). While images scale properly when displayed as desktop backgrounds, they don't on the smaller screen in screen saver mode.
    But that's a problem for another thread I think!

    In the meantime I'l have a look at your suggestion Barman.

    Thank you both
