If the monitor lost video signals (like the PC blanking, going to sleep, or shutting down), the monitor would try the other inputs, then quit and die. If the PC came back, the monitor was not checking inputs for new signals, and you had to fight with the monitor to get it on and select the right input: It didn't want to turn on without a signal, on-screen displays don't work well when the monitor has a blank screen, monitors are ludicrously slow at changing input signals these days, yet will let you zip past the one input with an actual signal. I long for the old days where a three input monitor had input 1, 2, 3 buttons on the front, and instantly changed over as you pressed each button. To avoid that pain, again, my monitor has input scanning switched off, now and forever more. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.66.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 18 16:02:34 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
