Hello. I'm looking to use this monitor in an arcade game. I would need it to power on, when the AC power is applied. Does anyone know if it does that?

I tested this by pulling the power cord from the back while it is tied into my computer via DVI connection, waited a moment and then plugged it back in. It came back on to the same input to what I was viewing on the computer screen. So I would say it will do what you want based on this.Good Luck

The monitor goes into sleep mode when no input is detected. So as soon as something is plugged in, it will automatically display the input as long the it has not been powered off. I'm not sure if this is what you meant... But i love this monitor!

Sorry- I don't know. All I do know is I am very happy with this monitor and it is reasonably priced. Can't Amazon tell you where they buy this unit?

My simple answer is "Yes". When power returns (having gone), the monitor powers up on its own.

To my knowledge if you leave the monitor switch on, it's on even though the screen is black.I have turned my computer off but forgot to turn the monitor off. The next day when I restart the computerthe monitor comes right on with the boot up without hitting the on switch, because technically, it was never off.Hope this was helpful.

I do not need that application; however, I tried it and it did not come on with pressing the power switch.

It comes with a power cord to power the monitor. It also comes with a short hdmi cord to go from game to the display. That is all. I added a set of headpphones, a spare power cord for my console (so i dont have to unplug my cord from the wall each time), and a 10 foot hdmi cord in case i want to hook it to a bigger tv while i am traveling. That is how i rigged my kit and i am always prepared to play. Do not overpack the inside of the unit and be careful not to flex or put pressure on the monitor side it will break the screen. That is a 50 minute and $95 fix.

The issue will be power, it uses two powered USB ports for power supply. The port on the monitor is a micro USB you could probably use alternate means of power. I don't have the power specs on hand to advise what would be best for alternative power.

I just unplugged the power from my second device and tried it, and it worked for a moment before it began flickering (failed). So at least in my case with a PS3 and PS4, they both need to be on (Standby suffices).EDIT: Wanted to clarify, it seems the devices just need to be powered, but not necessarily flipped on.

I honestly don't know. When I was installing it, I actually had to put it in the computer as a different display. I didn't think it was going to work, but somehow it came on and has worked well ever since. It's worth taking the chance it you can return it. Good Luck

I never hooked up sound, so I can't speak to that aspect of the device. I think that this is a very old model, it's probably been sitting in the warehouse for a long time. I returned this model immediately after receiving it. It wouldn't power up, when it finally did the screen was obviously damaged - googling suggested the damage was from being too hot. Sorry, that's all I've got. It would be helpful to know what source you have it hooked up to and how you've plugged it in.

I used it to connect my computer to an LCD monitor and a projector with an hdmi port so I don't see why you would have a problem. The only thing that is annoying is i have to remember to power up the projector first thing in the morning and once it is warmed up i can power it off. I do that because the first time I use the projector the monitor blanks out for a while... this also occurs when the monitors go to sleep.

There's a little switch in the back if I recall correctly. You need the manual to identify it. I don't remember which one it was. However, you probably don't want to. The feature doesn't work very well. Any ambient noise in the room will activate it, making it practically useless except as a monitor, for which you don't need the switch.

Just checked the manual. Your monitors have to be powered. The mains are powered through the controller but the monitors are not. Hope that helps.

Hi David, thanks for your interest in our products. Yes, our monitors require AC power for several reasons. The first is our products all have two spare (powered) USB ports for other USB devices, and these ports require AC power. Next, our monitors also have HDMI input and this also requires AC power. Finally, our latest product, Monitor2Go FHD has speakers (for use with HDMI) which requires AC power too. I hope this is helpful. Please let us know if you have any other questions and feel free to email us directly at contact@mmt2.com. Thanks!

Plz, owners of this monitor, can somebody look at the back of the transformer, does it say 100-240V or not? I need to know as well. Thanks a lot!

This unit sometimes DOES need power. Devices such as the Directv Genie don't give off any power through their HDMI output, so it WILL NOT WORK without an AC Adapter supplying power to the switch. Check if your devices HDMI output ports give off 5V of power. If not, then you need an adapter. The seller is aware of this, but refuses to update their description. Also, it's not helping that reviewers are saying no power adapter is needed. Sometimes it IS needed.

It works plugged into the monitor for power, however I found that the volume is low even when turned all the way up. Not sure if this has anything to do with power source.

30 seconds for the computer to turn on. Full brightness is very fast. The problem is waking up your computer to send a signal to the monitor isn't stable. Sometimes I'll get lucky and it'll work within seconds. Other times, I had to lift my laptop display. The thing is there are no drivers, which apple or acer have to address. Other than that the monitor is good.Does anyone besides me run this monitor on a mac?

I have had the monitor for 2 weeks, but it is used constantly. I frequently attach or separate it from different PCs, and it has been both shut off completely--or simply allowed to hibernate. I have not experienced this problem of the audio failing to switch on with the monitor. I suspect that the monitor is choosing the wrong audio input and perhaps decoupling it from your video signal. Are you using HDMI (for both video & audio), or do you have a separate audio signal input? My guess is that if you use VGA, you should avoid leaving any source plugged into the HDMI port. Likewise, if you are using HDMI, use a newer cable that supports audio and disconnect the audio input at the back of the monitor. Does any of this make sense? Did it help?

For this board to work you must have the board and power supply in a case for grounding to work. Assuming the board APU and memory are good, Tty removing power from the monitor for several minutes ( master reset) and then power everything on. There are some older monitors that do not support 1920x1080 or that do not identify themselves to the motherboard as able to work with the APU. In those cases the only fix was to get a better monitor or install a GPU card. To troubleshoot you may have to try a different monitor. New HDMI monitors are only way to go.

William, I'll check on that tomorrow when I'm back at the office. If I forget, just post here again and I should be notified - otherwise shoot me an email. AEB35.75@gmail.com. Regardless, its a great unit - perfect for an additional monitor and very easy to toggle between the TV and external monitor functionalities. Only complaint is the sound is slightly subpar - I'll try to address your question tomorrow, like I said. Cheers!
