Getting “No Signal” and then “Power Saving”
If you see a No Signal it means the monitor is powered properly.
If after the “No Signal” you see “Power Saving” it means that the monitor is not receiving video signal from the HDMI port and goes to power saving sleep mode.
In most systems you need to connect the USB-C cable first and then the HDMI to provide video signal
If you have the HDMI connected, disconnect and reconnect it to initiate the video signal from the computer to the controller’s monitor
If you are getting “No Signal” and then “Power Saving” when connecting with a USB-C to USB-C cable then it means the monitor is receiving enough power, but not video signal. Connect the HDMI.
