My monitor goes blank while watching a movie on netflex about every 8 min very annoying . I jiggle the mouse and the picture comes back . sound ok . Help

my monitor goes dark but it because of windows power management turns it off in 10 minutes I just move the mouse comes right back on
could also be a failing component

Anyone answer this? This is really annoying!

Sounds like an issue with you PC not the monitor.

Try updating your display/graphics card drivers.

When the power saving options of the computer is turned on, after particular time the signal stops to the monitor and the orange light will come on, once you move the mouse or press keys on the keyboard, the cpu comes back from the power saving mode, the signal passes on to the monitor and there will be display.

Go to the control panel > Power Options > Select a Power Plan, look in the middle for Additional Plans, click on that and choose High Performance. Now, look in the left hand pane and click on "Choose when to turn off the display", make sure they all say never. Click on "Save Changes" and exit out of the page.

Sounds like its going to sllep too soon make sure you do not have it set in your video card settings. also try it on a diffrent computer. if that does not shore it up replace the acpi board

It sounds like it is loseing signal, check your connections, and make sure you have the correct cable

check your power settings (run>control>power options>change plan settings>advanced options>display)
you will see the setting for your monitor to power off
it should be set to 2 hrs or more if you plan on watching a movie or keeping the monitor on without having to frequently touch the keyboard or mouse.
turning adaptive display on may affect your situation as well. try switching it on.

This should do the trick for you. If not you may have an issue with either your video card or your monitors power supply.
(if the light stays on on the monitor when it goes blank but it doesnt repsond to the mouse or the keyboard, its a setting on your system or the hardware itself)
Good Luck!!

Sounds like your screensaver is using a picture of your desktop in it's code intentionally.

Right click on a blank area of your desktop --> select properties

--> click screensaver --> change it to "none" or another screensaver

What are you using to connect to the monitor? Have you tried replacing the cable, sometimes cheaper HDMI cables can cause this issue
