Monitor question

Not a huge problem, but something I have noticed with my new PCS desktop.

I have my power options set to never switch off the display, but if I am afk for a while when I come back the monitor will be completely off - not in standby (orange light) but completely black. Moving the mouse does not wake it up. I just switch the monitor back on and the picture comes back. I assume this is a monitor thing rather than a PC thing though, but not really sure, so I didn't know whether to post this here or in Peripherals.

It's a IIYAMA E2473HS 24" LED WIDESCREEN, 2 HDMI/DVI-D 1920x1080 if that helps at all. I couldn't see anything about a power saving option in the manual. Any ideas?

HAHA...

Never mind the above.. I just asked my other half about it and it turns out he has been going round and switching the monitor OFF behind my back the second I go away from the pc for a while :wacko:

I'd delete the post but I thought it might give someone a laugh!!

Nothing to see here.... :whistling:
