Different sleep function
-
The setup I have is for the monitor to go to sleep if no signal is found.
I believe you should be able to find the same kind of settings on your TV. -
@yawns What settings was that under? I was looking and wasn’t able to find something like that. I have a 40" Haier TV. So that proposed code basically turns on and off the TV? I could find a new tv panel to replace my current one that won’t have the annoying blue screen with the no signal message? I apologize for my ignorance on this subject. Is there a good way to find a new tv panel controller or what I should look for in general?

Keep in mind that not all TVs or computer monitors support CEC. Try at your own risk (or do some research to see if yours does.)

Correct. This feature is commonly used in other HDMI connected devices like Bluray players, gaming consoles and such. Most of the time it is used to keep things simple. You turn on your playstation and it automatically activates the connected tv and switches to the right input channel. Before installing the libcec stuff make sure your tv supports such features.

Right. If turning off and on does not work or is too slow you could look for another TV Panel Controller like here: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/lcd-controller-board-tv
I did not play around with these and you need to find one which works with your large screen and the display you are using but it could be worth a try. -
@yawns
I tried that one but can`t find the right install file to put it on…!
I used the V59 version
