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

    Happens to me with three Dell displays attached to an AMD GPU with DisplayPort. Distro is EndeavourOS. Whenever it happens there happens to be a kernel update available and, after installing it and rebooting, the problem goes away for a few days.

      I’ll have to fix it myself then. It’s weird how it works , even on the old thinkpad is the same.
