Disable No-Singal output for any tv?
-
I’m using a 32" Vizio and believe it or not mine works great… the TV goes into a sleep mode but once I say “Wake up” the mirror comes back on and the TV as well…
SO yes it could be a feature of the TV. I would check for settings in the TV like this one for Samsung:
The Eco Solution function switches the power off if it detects that you are receiving no signal from the current source (e.g. if you have switched your set top box to standby mode) or if no user operation is received after four hours.
You can change the Eco Solution options by going to:
Menu->System->Eco SolutionNot sure if you have that on yours but there are features that can be overridden in your settings menu.
Hope it helps

@cowboysdude but when the TV is woken up do to get the input banner on the screen for several seconds? That was the part I couldn’t completely get rid of.

@j.e.f.f No mine just comes right back on like it was never off. It’s like a power saving mode actually. Only works when there’s input. Works exactly like a monitor in that regard.

@cowboysdude Samsungs have an ECO option but I turned it off completely thinking it was going to get in the way… I’ll take a look at that to see if it will work the way yours does.
-
@j.e.f.f I hope so. Samsung TV’s are nice but for this project Vizio was the way I went. Price plus in the end in all honesty I just got lucky with the ability to make it ‘sleep’ and ‘wake up’…

@cowboysdude My cousin works for Samsung and gets an employee discount, so price was the motivator for me as well ;) Anyway I’ll give this a shot to see if behaves the same was as yours.
