VG248QE w/ G-Sync Blue Light when Off

Post by Cooknn » 08 Aug 2014, 19:17

Anybody here figured out a workaround to get the blue light to turn off when the monitor turns off via Windows power saving options? It's in my bedroom so can be annoying when everything else is pitch black :|

I automated it! There are 3 output connections on my APC XS 1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply that are controlled by a master. I plugged my computer into the master and my monitor, external hard drive and speakers into the ports controlled by master. All three of those devices have annoying lights, LOL :D Now, when I push the power button on the front of my PC to hibernate, it cuts power to those three devices as well. Even while hibernating if power goes out for more than 5 minutes, the APC PowerChute software brings my PC back up, then gracefully powers it (and everything else) down. It's a beautiful thing.

I'm pretty sure the light stays on even without Gsync although i believe it turns orange when going in powersaving mode, ill pay attention next time mines turn off from windows and correct this post if i was wrong lol

Yeah the orange was fairly dim and not distracting while the blue is very bright. I've taken to just turning the monitor off at night.
