I'm trying to figure out how to turn off my monitor while running TinyTask for some AFK grinding in a video game. The issue is that whenever I turn off my monitor, the inputs from TinyTask cause it to turn back on. I haven't seen anyone address this specifically, so I'm reaching out for help!

Another option is to unplug the monitor entirely. You could either unplug the power or disconnect the HDMI/USB-C/DVI cables. That should definitely prevent it from turning back on.
You could just flick the power switch off on the monitor. It’s pretty straightforward, right?
Haha, right? I spent way too long thinking this through!
If you turn the monitor off completely and it still turns back on, it might be going into sleep mode instead. Can you clarify what happens when you turn it off?
Maybe consider finding a game that doesn’t rely on grinding so much. It could save you a lot of hassle!

Yeah, good call! Just make sure you don’t accidentally unplug something else.
