I tried it with an old ASUS laptop running 20.04 going to a TV via HDMI and the "blank screen" appears to be working like it should. However on my mac mini running 20.04 the system definitely does the same as yours when set to "blank screen" as the external monitor is fully active/lit but is black. Hopefully someone has come across this before. | |

Suspend stops all processing so if you are in the middle of time-consuming calculations, they pause until you resume. On the other hand, blank screen is supposed to just stop sending a video signal but everything else continues as normal, and the display resumes immediately as soon as you move the mouse. | |
| Nov 30, 2020 at 22:27 | comment | added | darth_epoxy | I wonder what the speific difference is between Blank Screen and Suspend? I alwasys set to suspend when connected to a TV for example because the blank screen seems to keep the TV active and it only really sleeps by it's own inbuilt contols. But when I suspend the PC or laptop the TV feed goes off (via HDMI). | |
