I left my computer on sleep for about 3 hours or so. When I come back my monitor was off but with a purple power button. Rebooting the PC multiple times in different ways did nothing. The Monitor has a purple tint each time I reconnect the power cable and the screen doesn't turn on. I have another monitor and tested all the cables and connections which showed nothing. The problem is with the monitor. I searched online and found only a few sites that even mentioned this. The monitor is Acer GN246HL Bbid 24-Inch 3D Gaming Display and the connection was a Dual Link DV-I.
No PC stated,
and what does this mean.
"showed nothing."
2nd monitor ,did it work on not? please be clear.
I guess you mean the 2nd monitor works on this unstated PC.
but not the 246 ,as it is dead. or shows odd things? no photos off odd presented,
246, is 6 years old today.
ok , PC dead, but is it silent, it must blow 2 fans desktop.
ok, does the GN246HL fail on other PCs.
if not it is good.
if yes,it is bad, simple no?
all test monitor directly to a PC, DVI jack.
this monitor is only 6 years, old and is LED backlighted
what does this mean?
Dual Link DV-I.??????????
this monitor has only one DVI port (and vga , and HDMI)
now test 1.
NO pC connected
power on the monitor,
it shows LOGO sign , ACER logo message seen for 6 long years but today is dead.
Now turn it on again and push menu button, on monitor.
you get OSD screen windows, from the monitor brain and it works
and looks good , but only for 10 seconds at power on.
the 10 second rule on OSD, means you must do that fast.
the controls are in the manual

Carol,
It sounds like your computer is putting the monitor in power save or sleep mode, and the monitor doesn't respond appropriately. The monitor might be faulty, or overheating. Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the monitor, and that it is clean and free from dust around the vents on the case.
Another thing to try is to check your computer's screen saver and power saving settings. Try turning off the "turn off monitor after [interval]" setting and see if the monitor still shuts off after several hours.
Good luck, hope this helps.

You should have received two cables with the monitor. One is for VGA and plugs into you video card or computer board . The second one is for DVI digidal video and if you have that cable it plugs into the square connector. Then if you look into your monitor manual or quick setup sheet it will tell you how to connect and set the monitor to either VGA or Digital. I'm sure that is what has to be set. Don't hook up both cables to the monitor and computer. Only use the one. Digital gives you a better picture if your computer has that function. Hope this is helpful. Bud

This is most likely the power inverter board in the monitor - this is common in many monitors. If it started taking longer and longer to display an image, and the power light is blinking on-and-off, that's the problem. You can confirm that it's the monitor and not your computer or the cable by plugging in another monitor if you have one to try.
If it's under warranty, send it back, if not, there are inverter boards for many common models of LCD monitors that are replaceable. The board can run anywhere from $50 on up. Depending on how old it is, you may find it better to just replace it with a gently used one from ebay.

Hello!
I see many monitor with that trouble.
When you turn on comp., you can have a picture on monitor about 10-30 min. and that go in black screen, or If you change resolution again go in black screen.
You must repair monitor or bay another.
