Hi there,
I don’t know if there is a similar thread for the PG32UCDM but I think that the firmware is pretty similar so I write here. (mod edit: new thread created).

Asus monitors has a presence sensor that turn off the monitor when I get up from the chair.
Is there a way to launch the pixel cleaning when I’m not at the computer?

Why it continue to remind me that I need to do the pixel cleaning when I’m working with the PC?
And why I need to click yes using the monitor button to do it?

This is really bothering…

Hi again sblantipodi,

This is something I’ve noticed with various OLED monitors that have a timed feature that ‘blanks out’ the screen. Or if that blanking out of the screen is linked to a proximity sensor, such as the one on the PG32UCDM (or the ‘Neo Proximity sensor’ on the XG27UCDMG). It seems manufacturers configure this to simply shut off the pixels but not set the screen into standby. The advantage is that it will spring back to life very quickly when you return to your system. The disadvantage is that, because the screen isn’t in standby, it won’t run its cleaning cycle.

So you’d need to use Windows power management (or a similar feature on an alternative OS, assuming they have that) to turn the screen off after a certain amount of time. Or you’d need to just switch the monitor ‘off’ using the power button. When using models with a proximity sensor I set it up so it uses the proximity sensor if I’m away for say 5 minutes (or whatever the shortest time period it allows is) but set the screen to switch off via Windows power management after say 10 minutes. I’d prefer if there was an option to have the proximity sensor actually put the screen into standby if it’s due to run its cleaning cycle!

ok thanks for the answer and the clarification PCM2 🙂
much appreciated.

but can windows turn off the screen automatically after 10 minutes?
as far as I know it can set it in standby but it can’t turn off the monitor.

am I wrong?

Most models (including the ASUS ones) should be able to run the pixel cleaning cycle when the screen is in standby. It doesn’t need to be ‘off’ – although technically when you switch a monitor ‘off’ just using the power button it’s still in a standby state anyway.

ah ok, thanks!!!
