    My screen goes to sleep when there's a lot of black on the screen


    For some reason, every time there's a lot of black on the screen, like if I'm watching a video or playing a game, and it's a blank black canvas, my screen will automatically sleep. It's annoying since sometimes there are subtitles over the black canvas and i wanna read it, or it's just a dark environment in my game and my monitor just decides it's time to go sleep. Is there an auto sleep function on monitors now?The monitor in question if ROG XG27UQRThank you in advanced for any help

    :)

    Screen goes black

    Hi Kris,

    It is possible that your screen goes black may be due to a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down. To isolate your issue, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
    • Did you get any error messages when it turns black?
    • Have you tried checking if the sleep mode is turned on/off?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Meanwhile, we recommend that you perform the steps in this
    article     to troubleshoot blank/black screen errors. This will provide you instruction when you see a black screen before signing in to Windows 10 and when you see a black or blank screen after signing in to Windows 10.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Monitor goes to sleep when screen has lot of black.


    Hello,

    First of all, I can't remember when and how this started, but definitely after upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Pro.

    So, my screen (Acer LCD, connected to GTX 560 with 1 meter DVI cable) started going black (power light on, background light completely off) when I watched a video that had lot of dark on it. Happens in some games as well where the cut scenes change.

    I tested it by full screening a plain black image and the screen went to sleep, mouse cursor dissapeared.
    Moving the mouse does not wake up the screen    , only when i press Win key to bring up some color to the screen. (the task bar seems to be enough to wake the screen.)

    I have checked all the power settings and turned off all the sleep settings, 'Turn off display after' is set to 'Never'
    'Multimedia settings' are set to ' Prevent idling ' and 'Optimize video quality'

    What is happening?

    Edit: Nvidia driver version is 355.60
