Windows 11 PC via HDMI to C4, and if I leave it for a few hours when I turn on my C4 and go to the PC input it always shows no connection and hitting a key or even Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't bring it back to the desktop.
Only a hard reboot of the PC brings it back.

If I leave it for just a short time it is always good on the desktop.

Any ideas of if it's a setting somewhere?
 
it sounds like the TV has a deeper "sleep" setting than the average monitor would.
while most displays, when put to sleep, would just be waiting for that wake signal. this TV seems to go into some energy saver "off" mode.

try tapping keys on the TV's remote first, before accessing the computer.

it's possible that you could choose a different setting for this particular input profile,
but, you would have to go through all available power settings.
or maybe even create a new profile for this input.

Will try that, but it's strange that after turning the TV on on the PC input it has a screen that just says no signal (i.e. it's not like it's a black screen).
Makes me think it's a setting on the PC, but will check it out.
