Bought this monitor for my new system and noticed something quirky (beyond the OSD operation buttons or lack thereof). When I close my system down...the monitor goes to sleep but then the bacl-light comes on and starts searching for a connection (digital/analog/HDMI. displaying this search in the upper left of the monitor.

I've read the manual and fiddled with the OSD..but cannot figure out if this is the way the monitor is designed to work or if there is a setting I'm missing somewhere.

It's not a big deal to turn the monitor off...but every other other LCD monitor I've had, when Windows shuts down..the monitor goes to black..and that's it. When I would start the computer up..the monitor would awake and start to display.

This is something I'd not expected with the Samsung.

Anyone else experience this?
 
I dont have this monitor or any other samsung monitor
but I suggest your contact the support and ask, via mail or phone .

I bet you will get an answer so just let us know.

Noam
 
I'm having this problem, but I've had the monitor for about two years. It's not really a problem per-se but it is annoying. Any further ideas, or did just getting a new one sort it out?
