Do they turn the monitor off, or is the monitor just signalling from the lack of video coming in and switching off on it's own? : )
Oh no. It's an antique gateway 17" monitor in my case. If it gets no signal, the little led turns orange instead of green and it sits there like that.
In my case the led goes off completely because the power is off. I hit the on key on my keyboard you can hear the crackle and hum as the CRT comes on.
I actually know of no monitors that power down completely when they have no signal. Most go into some standby mode, but something stays lit on the face to show it's in standby, not off.
I actually didn't know that this wasn't the expected result until today.
