You can check your firmware version in the OSD software, it will be down in the lower right corner of the red pop up, the one where you can adjust your settings.Īpparently, the newer monitors that ship with the FW. Turns out that many of these MSI monitors need a firmware update. I was talking to a few other people on reddit this afternoon about this problem, we've had a long thread going for a few months now. I am running Display Port to the MSI monitor directly from the nVidia RTX card outputs (rather than from the motherboard DP output) and HDMI directly out to the Dell monitor (rather than using the motherboard HDMI output).Īny suggestions on a setting I can adjust to fix this?Ĭlick to expand.So, funny you should mention it. Adjusting the Windows Power and Sleep settings doesn't make a difference, power stays live to the panel even though the screen has gone blank. I've looked through the Gaming OSD software and played with the buttons on the back of the monitor but cannot find a setting that would control this function. I've never seen a monitor go blank but retain power to the panel like this before but I would like the monitor to correctly enter power save mode. When I move the mouse to wake the machine the monitors both come back, except because the MSI monitor never actually went into power save mode the program I had on the small Dell monitor will be moved to the MSI monitor.


It's as if the MSI monitor is always detecting a signal (even though it's a black screen) and therefore never enters sleep mode. My other monitor (a cheap 24in Dell) will correctly enter power save mode and turn off the panel when no signal is detected. I noticed that when I lock the computer (Win +L key) and walk away from the computer for more than 10 min the monitor will go blank (like you'd expect when Windows sleeps) but there is still power to the panel. Just got an Optix MAG272CQR a little over a month ago.
