Samsung series 5 32" 1080p via VGA.

When i restart my computer the tv goes off but doesnt come back on.
i can hear windows sound as it boots to the desktop but no picture.
i have to switch tv off then back on then reslect INPUT: PC.

bit of a pain.

there are power saving settings on the tv but none of them seem to help.

can i change something in my bios that will stop the tv from switching off when i restart the computer ?

EDIT: power saving features are all off. hibernate ect

pressing keys or moving the mouse doesnt switch the display back on

Does it switch off / into standby or does the picture just go black ?
What happens if you reselect pc input without switching off/on ?

initaly it goes into standby.
then it try's to come out of it.
you can see the backlight kicking in and the sound of windows booting up.

i cant select a PC input as theres nothing to see.

its more annoying than anything. when the picture is on its pin sharp.

some tv's have an option to auto selct the default input, try setting that to vga if it has one

if the tv has a remote can you just put it on pc input from that?
