Question Weird issue with an LG Monitor

[SantiClaws]

OK, very odd behavior. If I am not using my PC, my monitor goes to sleep after a while, just like it is supposed to. But, if I am using my PC, I eventually get warnings that the monitor will turn itself off if not used, unless I push a button. Pushing a button actually does nothing, and the monitor eventually turns itself off entirely, so I have to push a button to turn it back on, as opposed to just hitting a key or moving my mouse when it goes to sleep. Doesn't matter what I'm doing - playing a game, using word, it just decides it is not in use and will turn itself off. What??

I see nothing in the manual that would cause your issue. Did you try contacting LG support?

I did not, support is commonly not very useful, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Do you know if the message you are getting is coming from Windows?
