It sounds like the automatic degaussing circuitry in the monitor. I have the same problem with my Nanao F550i-W, except that it doesn't matter how long the monitor has been off. The degauss circuitry resets itself while the monitor is on. I keep telling myself that I really need to open up that monitor and install a switch to disable the degaussing coil, since it would make my UPS pretty useless if the power should fail while the monitor was in its deepest power-saving mode. But, I never seem to get a round tuit. -- Bob Nichols AT&T Bell Laboratories rnichols@ihlpm.ih.att.com
