Odyssey G9 57" Monitor Turns On And Off Over And Over Again

[bpohlman13]

Hi I have a new Samsung Odyssey G9 57" Monitor, and with the computer (input) off, the screen keeps turn on and off on it's own. It shows a screen that there is no connection, and it will then restart. Any suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

Hello and welcome.
Do you mean the input screen?
Do you also own a Samsung TV?

If so, I get it on my M70A monitors, drive me nuts, haven't figured it out, but my suspension is interactive with other Samsung devices.

My fix isn't really is I switch off the power socket using a Kasa power block.

I suspect it is doing a pixel refresh cycle when it enters sleep mode to prevent burn in. Does it eventually stop switching on in a loop after several minutes? Is your computer switched off or in standby also?

I agree. It makes using the monitor super tedious to use this two thousand dollar monitor. I think Samsung is sharing OLED safety measures on this monitor (even though it doesn't have an OLED panel). They seriously need to fix this because I wouldn't recommend this monitor.

It is way too tedious to have to press the menu buttons or wait for it to count down through standby mode and possibly wait for it to cycle through its power, then press buttons on my keyboard hoping it properly wakes up. This cycle can take anywhere from 10-30 seconds. i've never had to do this with my monitors from Dell or LG. 

I have to do this 6-7 times a day because the monitor turns off anytime you leave your computer for 10 mins. I'm not sure why Samsung thinks this is acceptable.
