 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

The AOC monitor does not have a default, it just auto switches to ANY input with signal on it, if the signal from the current one is lost. So, if I have a VGA signal connected AND an HDMI signal connected, and VGA is selected, if the VGA signal disappears for more then 3 seconds, the monitor auto-switches to the HDMI signal, when I DON'T WANT IT TO. And vise-versa - if I have the HDMI input selected, and the HDMI signal is disconnected, the monitor auto-switches to the VGA input. It's a TOTAL pain in the arse, but most modern monitors do exactly the same thing, unfortunately. They THINK they are being helpful, when in fact, they are not. With the wee 10" monitor, I can have VGA and HDMI connected, and if you disconnect one, the screen just goes blue and states "NO SIGNAL", but it does NOT auto-switch to the other input. And yes - I have looked in the AOC monitor settings everywhere, to see if there is a way to disable this auto-switching - there isn't, it's baked into the firmware. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Industrial monitors are pretty inexpensive on AE and they certainly won't do this cr@p |
