Ibanezmike Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hey guys, I want to know if its possible for you to set up your computer to turn your monitor on when you turn the computer on. I am not sure if it is monitor specific or a setting in windows or something maybe? Thanks -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNTiGOD Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 You could use a smart strip. This is an example... http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Strip-Protector-Autoswitching-Technology/dp/B0006PUDQK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have reset the computer multiple times and unpluged just the monitor and plugged it back into the slave port to no avail. The only reason this is a bit more of a problem then it should be, is that I have built my cab and fully enclosed the moniror so the monitor buttons are covered. I could get to the buttons if I really really needed to but It's going to be a huge pain in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNTiGOD Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Yep, Change your smart strip. There isn't any setting in windows. Although depending on your power supply you might be able to use a pass through cable so that your monitor turns on when your pc turns on (see below).
