[QUOTE="cheetah05, post: 161676, member: 19628"] Well I know the monitor is not at fault on this issue as I have tried with a different monitor (PC Monitor) and I get the same result. Also, how I knew it wasn't the Monitors fault in the first place, is that when I resume from standby and the monitor is blank, I can scroll to the MP Close button 'blind' (Left - Right - Right - Right from the main menu) - and then it would show the desktop. Also to be totally sure, the status light on the TV monitor is green which means its on. (Orange for standby, Red for 'off' [not technically]) At the moment I am on the latest drivers. What I was hinting at is that NVidia and ATI cards usually act in different ways - which could be why its working for you and not me. Just to be totally sure here. I have not yet tried to implement the IR Blasters (with the extra wires) - I want to see if I can do it without any nasty wires before I give in to that. I have already tried programmatically sending the 'off' signal to the TV via VGA signal and then turning it on when coming out of standby - to no avail. [/QUOTE]
