So I’ve set up pop os, everything went smoothly. But I have a problem - My pc is set to turn screens off after 15 mins, also to lock itself. But when it does that, my monitors shut down for a second, then start again so I can see it’s locked, then after few seconds monitors are blank but not turned off, led indicator is active and so is backlight panel.

It bothers me because I don’t want to physically turn off my monitors every time I go afk.

Can anyone tell me where to set this up? Thx

    What type of monitors do you have?I had the same issues with my BenQ monitors about 2 years ago and never found a solution. I ended up using it as an excuse to upgrade from 1080 to 1440.

    Everything worked fine for a few years with the BenQ then after an update it started happening.

    Have you tried a different distro? Just boot from a USB image and give it a few min to sleep. Wondering if it is a x11 or Wayland issue with older monitors
