How to make my monitor turn on faster

shiftyape · Aug 22, 2014

i have an acer monitor, and when i hit the power button, it takes around 6 seconds to turn on. its kinda annoying to have to wait for the monitor to start so slow. how can i make it start faster? i know its working a split second after i turn it on because it says "acer" and then "energy star" and plays this stupid little animation that takes like 3 seconds to finish.

update: i actually timed it it takes 11 seconds...

When they make these monitors, they would certainly design them to be as fast as they can go. You'll just have to wait out the 6 seconds.

i know its sound very trivial to wait a few seconds for the monitor to boot, but say i use my monitor for a year, every day. i would spend a total of like 3 days waiting for my monitor to boot up

Hey,

I've got a 120 Hz Acer and since day one has been doing the same thing as you describe. Even reviewers on YouTube have shown videos how long it takes for it to "light up". It's a flaw in their design, unfortunately not much we can do.

But once your monitor is on, why would you need to keep turning it off? Once it's on it's on.

It takes the exact same time for the monitor to "wake up" when it's in sleep mode. I've set up Windows to "Turn off display" in 20 min of inactivity.
