Twinkle Tray leads to Dell screen going silent
Twinkle Tray leads to Dell screen going silent
I'm facing a problem with Twinkle Tray on my Dell S2721DGF monitor. Once the screen times out, the monitor becomes unresponsive. It works fine with my secondary Acer S241HL display, which stays active when Twinkle Tray is on. When I return to the computer, shaking the mouse restarts everything, and both monitors turn back on. The Acer screen lights up, its power indicator appears, but the Dell monitor remains black and unresponsive. I suspect this might be due to power-saving features on the Dell model, which aren't present here since it's a gaming monitor. I've checked the Twinkle Tray settings and disabled automatic input switching, but nothing resolves the issue. I also tried using the "Monitorian" app for brightness control, but it doesn't recognize my Acer monitor and looks less refined. The Dell monitor control app is slow and intrusive. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Your explanation doesn't point that there is a problem with Twinkle Tray. To me it sounds it's not related, and your problem is that your monitor doesn't wake up. Removing Twinkle Tray solves the problem? All I know, working with DDC/CI protocol myself, most monitors have crap or incomplete implementation of the protocol. Dell Ultrasharp series are the best, probably because Dell provides a program that control the monitor, and sale a solution for companies. So, they put effort in it. As for the rest of industry/models, basically follows: "Do reviewers test this? No... so why bother?"
