When you turn off this switch, does it completely cut off power? Anybody checked with a kill-a-watt type monitor if this keep drawing power?

It does for me I have a apple computer plugged into it so my PC would be free of interruption

That is called an "air gap" tab. It cuts the power to the switch when popped out.

I don't believe the amount of power needed makes any difference. It just acts as a connector between the power cord and the outlet, if that makes sense. So it connects them and cuts the circuit on and off at the designated times. I've been using mine constantly for several months now and it still turns on and off at the exact times I set it for.

I don't know for certain if the computer connection is cut off. I do know the power is cut off which in most cases would cause what you have connected to not function. I often use the hub in conjunction with a couple of led lamps as makeshift desk lamp when travelling.

When plugged into power, the monitor still appears to be "off," with no blue screen or anything. When a video signal is supplied, the monitor powers on in under a second, but I don't know exactly how quick. The screen goes black (off) as soon as the video signal stops. Hope this helps!

I do not monitor the power draw but it does appear to shut off when not needed. I have installed a truncated garden hose to replace the tray function and it works fine.

I don't have the problem of power loss yet so I wouldn't know. I did try to manually shut power off and turn on from the main power panel and the sockets come up un-powered.

All i did was make sure the light was on with all pixels lighting and plugged into a wall outlet. The light went out and began to chage. Once I pulled the light from the outlet it automatically goes on - which I think replicates its use in a power failure. Hope this helps...

Karl, It doesn't use much power but I would recommend that you disconnect it when you're not using it. I've read statistics about the enormous amount of energy we use worldwide by not disconnecting the millions of devices like this. I use a power strip for my stereo, TV (it stays semi powered up if plugged in), and other devices. I just flip the strip off and everything connected to it gets shut down. The power strip may not be possible for you (or overkill) but I would disconnect when not in use.

No. Lamp will *not* power up from a switched outlet that has been switched off, and then back on. Too bad; that would be a nice feature!

When the computer is shutdown, yes the light stays on. When the actual power switch is turned off, then no it does not stay on

I installed mine recently, and measured the power, but not the current directly. In standby, the KillAWatt shows 0W, and powered it draws 4.7W. This includes a small wall wart PS, with the illuminator attached by a 100' siamese cable. These numbers are close to what gth posted, so I'd rely on his more precise numbers.

I dont turn mine off. Since ive had it its only been powered down once because the power went out and I did not loose found channels or have to reprogram. I would conntact manufacturer or google the make model and issue.

Yes, it immediately turns on when power is applied, regardless of former state. If there is no signal on the (HDMI) input, it will power off within about 30 seconds. When it senses a signal it powered on and remained on unless it was turned off via the pushbutton panel or remote. Works very well and scales signals from 1080i, 720p, WXGA, and others quite well. Some resolutions look sharper than others. I liked 720p the best.

There is no power switch or means to disable one of the VGA outputs. It's an always-on splitter, not a switch.

There is an on/off switch on the back of the monitor directly next to where the power chord is plugged in. It isn't patently obvious, so I thought I would offer this as a troubleshooting suggestion. If this doesn't help, let me know.

Not sure. For me I have my home theater receiver connected to it and it turns off other devices. Check and see if there is a minimum load that has to be on the control socket. It is sensing the change in current
