![]() If you have feedback on this feature, please file through the Feedback Hub app by going through the following steps: This is not limited to monitor manufacturer, hardware specs, connector type, or cable brand. For laptops, this requires at least 1 external monitor (since laptops come with a built-in screen). For desktops, this requires at least 2 external monitors. Connect your device to multiple monitors.The build number is located under “Windows specifications” > “OS build”.This feature works by default once you are on the supported build. To experience this feature now, join the Windows Insider Program and get access to build 21287 or above. This is currently only available in the Windows Insider Program. * In the operating system power management, set the PC to Sleep mode and S2417DG to Always On.This feature is now available in Windows Insider Preview and we are looking for your feedback! How can I access this feature? * Power cycling the S2716DG will also wake it from sleep * Pressing any button (except the power button) may also wake up the S2716DG after it goes into deep sleep This will engage link training every time when the PC is awoken * In the operating system power management, set the PC to Sleep mode and S2716DG to Always On. * Press the Menu button to open the OSD (On Screen Display) To meet the sleep mode power consumption of 0.5W, the Generation 1 Nvidia G-sync module within the monitors will be turned off after the monitor enters Power Saving/Deep Sleep mode. I would like to ask if perhaps there is a firmware upgrade to the monitor that aims to address this issue? If so, I would be willing to try it.īoth monitors use the Generation 1 Nvidia G-Sync module for display scaling. But none of them referred to the same behavior when using the power button, and I don't think it was clear that this is in fact a problem with the monitor soft booting procedure.Īs this is obviously a common problem, and not something specific to my monitor. There are many posts in the forums with similar behavior described both in S2417DG and S2716DG. Now, when "Power Saving" feature is set to Off - the problems described in the above scenarios do not happen, because the monitor never enters a deep sleep (not even when pressing the power button), so it never soft boots. I conclude this as with "power saving" set to off - display will consume ~13watt when powered off via its power button, while with "power saving" set to on - display will consume <1watt when it is powered off via its power button. I will note that the problems described above happen when using the displayport with two complete different systems (a desktop with geforce gfx, and a laptop with intel gfx) - behavior is exactly the same.įor clarification, it seems that the "power saving" (=deep sleep) feature from the menu affects also the behavior of the monitor, when it is turned off/on via its power button. When computer tries to wake the display, it won't wake up. Only way to get image back is to plug the monitor mains out and back in ("hard boot"). ![]() Scenario 2: The computer puts the display to sleep, eventually the monitor enters "power saving mode" (=deep sleep) after about 10 minutes (I can see this by a wattage consumption measurement). Only way to get image back is to plug the monitor mains out and back in (I call this "hard boot"). Scenario 1: I turn the monitor off via the power button, then turn it on again (I call this "soft boot") - displayport is dead, black image, and "Power Saving is on" message appears. When monitor "hard boots" (turns on, after I plug in the power cord) - image is displayed properly via DisplayPort. With S2417DG "Power Saving" set to On (I think this feature is called "Deep Sleep" on the sibling S2716DG): Short description: it seems that after this monitor soft boots, DP is not functioning. Operating System: Windows 10, 64-bit (two systems, same OS) I just purchased a new Dell S2417DG monitor:
