  1. Monitor doesn't automatically go to sleep, but shows a black screen instead.


    I've noticed in the last month or so that my monitor no longer automatically goes to sleep. Instead, it just has a black screen with the backlight still on and the normal power LED blue, instead of the sleep LED orange.


    If I manually put the PC into sleep mode via Start button -> power -> sleep, it works as intended. Proper sleep mode.


    I have tried setting monitor sleep to "never", rebooting, then back to "5 minutes" in Advanced Power Settings -> Change plan settings -> Turn off the display. No change.


    As I said, if I manually put the PC to sleep, the monitor enters the correct power mode. If the PC automatically goes to sleep, it just displays a black screen,but the monitor's backlight remains on.



    Specs:

    Windows 10 Pro 64 10.0.19042 Build 19042

    Intel NUC8i5BEH

    Dell U2711 connected via DP.

  2. My monitors are showing black colour instead swithing to stanby :/

    I want my monitors to switch off after 5 minutes but after 5 minutes they fade to black but I can clearly see the LEDs beneth the screen is working and monitors are working just showing black color instead of switching in to stand by mode. I want to save
    my monitors and power so this is worst case scenario for monitors to show black color - it consumes the highest amount of power Monitor doesn't automatically go to sleep, but shows a black screen instead. :(

    Got EVGA RTX 2080 / Windows 10 x64
