LG monitor, Win7 and windows resizing on power cycle

I have an LG W2261V monitor. Whenever the LCD display goes to sleep or turns off then on, under HDMI connection the screen resizes to 1024*768, I hear the device disconnected then the device connected sounds then resizes back to my original screen resolution of 1920*1080. I can confirm this by VNCing into the PC with one of my laptops and turning the screen off.
Under DVI connection the same thing happens if the cable gets removed from my graphics card connection.

This isn't a problem as such other than being extremely irritating as all my windows resize to 1024*768 so have to minimize then maximise all programs using the restore button beside the X at the top right hand side.

Does anyone know of any ideas? Have tried removing and reinstalling the graphics drivers, changing the connection on the graphics card. Even tried changing the PCI-E slot the cards using :/ Haven't had a chance to try reinstalling windows, I have no other screen to test and is a brand new PC.

System Information:
Motherboard - Gigabyte EX58-Extreme
OS - Win7 Ultimate
GFX - XFX HD5970 Black Edition

Anyone else got any other ideas?

Well you see this is a function of how this, any, monitor work, you see after coming back, from "Being Asleep" it does NOT hold, the last settings onboard, thus when it awakes, it must "Ask" the PC, what resolution do you want me to display in?... Then when it receives an answer, it THEN switches to that resolution. It is not anything you have done nor a setting...just a function, of the PC & Software and HDMI standards. What you need to do is create Profiles, for the Monitor, this will help. You didn't say exactly what your Video card is? If it is ATI. then make a profile using Catalyst Control Center. This way you can command programs to open at a particular size etc. With NVIDIA use the Control Panel. There are other tools as well like Powerstrip, this gives almost complete control over every aspect ot card and monitor and allows multiple profiles. link below. www.entechtaiwan.com/ps.htm -

I have a LG 22inch LCD monitor it goes on but only stays on for about 5 min then turns off. If I press the power button it goes on but now only stays on for about 15 seconds please help

First of all, you need to detached the monitor power connection and re-attached it after 5 minutes and check if the monitor works fine.
If issue persists, you need to make sure if any custom settings are made for monitor display power saving mode. To help you find these, please follow the steps mentioned below:
- Click the Start button. Select 'Control Panel' from the Start menu pane.
- Type 'power options' into the search box. Click 'Power Options'.
- Click 'Show Additional Plans' in the 'Select a Power Plan' section.
- Click and enable the 'High Performance' radio button.
- Select the blue 'Change Plan Settings' link next to the High Performance setting to open the plan settings editor window.
- Change the setting beside 'Turn Off Display' to 'Never' under both the 'On Battery' and 'Plugged In' headings. Change the setting beside 'Put the Computer to Sleep' to 'Never' under both headings.
- Click 'Save Changes' to implement the setting.
If issue persists, it is recommended to contact LG Support Center for further assistance from the link given below:

My Dell Inspiron notebook keep turning display off and then go to sleep later.

Go into the Windows Control panel, then to power settings. There you can adjust the settings for the monitor sleep behavior, as well as computer sleep and hibernation.

There are seperate settings for while plugged into power and while on battery.

If you have trouble, just let me know which operating system (XP, Vista, Win7, etc) you are running and I will give you step by step instructions.

Hope this helps you,

-Ben

When my computer goes into sleep mode and the monitor goes off i have to keep turning the monitor on and off by the power button on the monitor to get it to come on. I hear a static sound and the screen...

Assuming you are using a windows operating system, go to the control panel under the start button. Find power settings and turn off hibernation mode. Sleep mode should be ok. Additionally, on the monitor, find the menu button that pulls up the OSD (on screen display) and see if there is a ECO mode or power saver mode and turn it off as well. Good Luck.

Is there a sleep button I need to turn off so that the screen stays on? The light immediately goes from red to blue.

On a Windows PC, go to the control panel. Then hardware and sound, then power options. From power options you can change when the display turns off; switch to never.

When I switch the LG W2261V on I get the LG logo after the small circles (multicolor) in the middle of the screen with some Chinese/Korean characters. Impossible to have the correct display

small coloured circles means no signal being received by the monitor - the chinese/korean characters are saying 'check cable' !

Power saving mode

Prevent the laptop/desktop monitor from going to power saving mode:

Click on Start | Control Panel | Power Options.

In the Power Option properties window, click on the Power Schemes Tab

Set the Turn off Monitor/ Turn off Hard Disks option when on Power (and also Battery for laptop users) to Never.

Now click on the Save as... button and assign a name to this power scheme... Let us call it 'Presentation' and then click on OK.

That's it congrats!

Computer asleep

If you go to control panel > display settings > Screen Saver > Power (win XP) or Control Panel > Power Settings (Vista).

This will allow you to turn off the sleep or change the amount of time until the computer goes to sleep or turns the monitor off.

Digital power saving mode

Are you sure someone hasn't changed the power setting in windows. I've seen similar tricks pulled by so called mates. :-) If windows is OK then check the manual for the monitor and if you still can't crack it take it for a ride to the repair shop. It is under warranty after all. BMW
