I use a Mitsubishi Megaview XC-3717C as my "TV" for my HTPC. It's basically just a big computer monitor. I've got everything controlled with girder and USB-UIRT EXCEPT I cannot find discrete power on and off IR codes for my monitor.
Would there be any harm in leaving it on all the time? I could set the screen saver to "blank", so instead of turning the monitor off, it would display a blank screen when it is not doing anything.
It could be set to go into screen saver mode in 1 minute (unless I can figure out how to get windows XP to let me do a shorter time period). Or better yet, if I can get girder to send a "preview" command for the screen saver to make the monitor go immediately into screen saver mode that would be best.
Opinions and advice will be appreciated.
thanks,
Murray
