VGA Montitor
-
@aareben some. all.monitors have backlighting, so you get a glow, particularly at night.
-
@sdetweil if I lower the brightness and contrast to very low, will I still have glow?
-
@aareben yes
-
@sdetweil so then ill prob get an hdmi monitor
-
@aareben same glow there, unless u can actually power it off.
-
@sdetweil I’m pretty sure you can have the raspi turn on and off the screen through the hdmi. I will have to check on that.
-
@aareben none of my displays support that. so I blank them
-
I’m alone that my monitor turn off and not blanking???
I use:
Rpi3/rpi4 + hdmi/vga adapt + vga monitor -
@Bugsounet I’m Sorry I dont understand what your saying. Maybe a translation error
