I hate my monitor for that. Entering the bios is guesswork about when to press a key if I remember what key to press. Also I can’t turn it on too early before the PC or it will go to stand by after not receiving a signal for two seconds and then take even longer.
It’s an MSI but now looking at pictures ofequivalent samsung odysseys it might very well be the same monitor with a different sticker on the back.
And yes, it turns off, the PC doesn’t see a monitor so it doesn’t send a signal, and the monitor doesn’t turn on either because it’s not receiving any signal.
Typical Samsung product. Good hardware, acceptable build quality/ material selection, horrible software.
On mine you can’t even select the input manually, the monitor always cycles through every input. Couldn’t find anything on input 2 I just plugged in? Let’s do another round of checking all inputs for 10 seconds, and again, and again… And always finish on the input you started, or turn off if no active input is found.
I’ve learned the hard way that there’s only one decent Samsung product line - from big appliances to little electronics - and it’s their phones (and even those leave questions on privacy).
That’s funny, while I still buy Samsung TVs, I hate their phones. So much of what their phones can do is usually locked to only working in Samsung’s apps and those are universally dog shit. The phones themselves are also often privacy and user control nightmares.
Granted, there isn’t a lot of good choices for phones these days. I’m still running an old LG phone and have been looking outside Android as my next possible solution. But, I also haven’t had a reason to upgrade.
Turn off all of the Energy Saving/Eco Solution crap. It will stop turning off and you will get s brighter inage that doesn’t shift in brightness.
You should also switch to Movie mode in the picture settings and set dejudder/deblur (under Motion Clarity) to 0 while you’re at it so it doesn’t turn everything into 60 fps with fake frames.
Their SSDs are/were considered amongst the best options, but I haven’t looked into them since the 970 Evo days and they could be crap now for all I know.
in that case there are zero decent Samsung product lines.
horrible repairability, horrible privacy with all the built in bloatware and spyware, no more bootloader unlock to get rid of all of them, but even before they made that impossible they were the only android phone maker that required their own quirky tools for that, and blowing permanent efuses while at it.
Indeed! The biggest requirements for a monitor in my book are that it does not shut off without input, and that it actually turns on when I press the power button or switch. After that (as importance goes), I prefer IPC screens. I don’t use OLEDs because of burn-in.

I want a monitor turns on and stays on.
Let me guess, samsung odyssey? Had one of those, never again.
Friend even called me that he has fucked up his pc rebuild - his Samsung monitor was just not waking up because it literally turns off.

REISUB time when that happens.
All modern monitors are like this now. Dell, HP, Asus…
Doesn’t detect input? Instant power off. Now you have to press the menu key every 5 seconds to try and find the input for your PC.
Beyond ridiculous. I have a Dell that’s like 15 years old and it stays on for multiple minutes before going into power saving. It’s glorious

Software always destroys their products.

Have a Samsung TV and it’s by far my least favorite. Turns off at random, takes forever to switch inputs, turns on at random…
As for phones I’m eyeing the Motorola RazrFold, since they’re supposedly offering it Graphene-ready

I heard Samsung’s SD cards are good

I have a modern Lenovo monitor (2020) that takes longer to wake up than my hp monitor. So annoying.
Edit: aforementioned is from 2011 and is a zr2040w.
The Lenovo monitor is a d22e-20
What is there to guess? Just spam the fuck out of that key.
However, I also don’t know why you’re visiting the BIOS regularly.
