Monitors won’t sleep on idle pc - eviltoast

So I’ve set up pop os, everything went smoothly. But I have a problem - My pc is set to turn screens off after 15 mins, also to lock itself. But when it does that, my monitors shut down for a second, then start again so I can see it’s locked, then after few seconds monitors are blank but not turned off, led indicator is active and so is backlight panel.

It bothers me because I don’t want to physically turn off my monitors every time I go afk.

Can anyone tell me where to set this up? Thx

    Check the HiDPI Daemon in the Display setting…

    This HiDPI Daemon is for switching between Intel video card and NVidia. On systems with different cards the program does nothing but interfere with the power management of the monitor.

    What video card do you have? You might be able to remove the package.
