Hello,

I have a pair of U2410 monitors attached to my computer running Windows 7.  When I attach either monitor to the computer via DVI or VGA the monitor will sleep when the operating system issues the sleep command (ie the "turn monitor off after x minutes" setting in the control panel.)   When I attach the U2410 monitor via HDMI cable, however, this does not occur. Instead the monitor power light remains blue and a floating "No HDMI Input" message floats around the screen.

I would like the monitor to "sleep" when its mate connected via DVI "sleeps"

After spending more than three hours scouring the internet and these forums I am still unable to get the behavior I am seeking.  According to the troubleshooting guide for the monitor, I am to "turn off audio input" via OCD On Screen Display -- the menu system on the monitor itself.  I would do this if I were able, but the option OCD Menu -> Other Settings -> Power Save Audio is non-selectable.  The menu option is disabled and I cannot select it to change it.  I reset the montior to factory settings and tried again but this option remains unavailable to me.

I do not want to connect this monitor via VGA. Turning a digital screen buffer to an analog signal back to a digital display is not why I bought this monitor.

Is it possible to sleep mode to kick in for HDMI?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

The solution I finally went with was to purchase a HDMI-to-DVI male-to-male cable.
