Can the screen be turned off while playing on a TV, to save power?

The screen won't play the video when hooked up to tv. I usually close the unit when I hook it up to a tv.

There is obviously no switch to turn off the display, but if you want the display blank you can perform a total reset and the display will be cleared. Remember a total reset will also reset anything else that was stored previously.

Closing the cover will deactivatethe screen momentarily but will not completely turn off your tablet if it is on. You can only accomplish this with the tablet on-off switch.

I saw something about turning off auto detect tv type or some setting like that on game consoles

You probably already have answer, but no, it can't be turned off if it's charged and in the dark.

The only soultion I can really offer is just making your screen auto-turn off after a few seconds. I noticed that problem as well, though I don't mind it because I'm actively using the dock to display temp, speedometer, etc. so I don't really turn off the screen.And of course, you shouldn't have to, as the battery should be charging while it's docked.

You can only turn it off with the switch in the back off it, and sometimes that wont turn it off. You may even have to unplug it to turn it off. It has a faux shutoff button on screen but it only turns the video off to make the appearance that the system is off, but in actuality it only turns off the display to the TV.

If you have the cord plugged into the power supply the display stays lit. It should go off if nothing is plugged in.

yea you can it just has different labels for computer. Be sure to have green feature switch off. if its on it will not allow you to turn on certain devices unless tv is on. but if you have a fancy powerful system with several devices and are being used constantly and demand high watt usage then i would not recommend to use.

You can turn it on/off pushing the cover below the display. This will not affect the programming

Yes. But it has a big problem of just shutting off. I play a movie and 15 minutes later it turns off and doesn't come back on unless I unplug it and plug it back in

You can turn the video screen off on the charger. Once you hear a noise, you can quickly switch it back on.

Yes, you can turn the sound off. Just go to the menu and hit the down button until zero bars are highlighted. My monitor completely turns off the sound and leaves the picture on (for a minute or two if it's not plugged in.)

yes, the screen will go off with a quick press of the power button and if the button is held longer, the entire system will power down. had it for over 18 months and it is still going strong!

Yes, it turns off when using either the evf (electronic view finder) or the LCD panel.

Yes. You can also toggle off the keyboard lighting in case you want to conserve energy.
