Remote power button for multiple monitors

[Rusty Bawlz]

Hello All,

I have a 3 monitor setup and is kind of a pain in t he but since they are on the backside of the monitors. My question is: is there a wired power switch that I could use that will turn the power of the three monitors on/off? If not is there some sort of software solution?

I really appreciate all your help!!

My question to you is, why are you even shutting the monitors off? Let the monitors go into standby mode.

I have tried that and some times it works and some times it doesn't.

Then its either a driver issue or possibly an adapter issue if you are using them to convert connections.

You could use a remote controlled outlet, I have a Wyze one that's pretty straightforward to use with individual on/off on each outlet.

I finally figured out my problem!! Xbox 360 controller being plugged in wouldn't let my monitors enter the sleep mode. Thanks for your help!!
