  • OLEDScreenSaver

    Small window utility that turns your OLED screen black when no input is detected. Works even when a program is keeping Windows from triggering screen sleep.

  • -Install OLEDScreenSaver, this addition replaces the normal screen saver to benefit OLED users, the problem is that stuff like youtube videos will make it so normal a normal screen saver won't trigger, keeping a static image on your monitor, this will trigger a black frame over the entire screen when the mouse or keyboard aren't being used and I consider it essential for using my CX as a monitor

  • MonitorKeeper

    Return windows to their rightful place when changing monitors.

  • -Install Monitor Keeper, because the CX is driven by HDMI, when it goes to sleep Windows treats the sleep as if the monitor was disconnected, that will trigger windows to rearrange all open programs and is increasingly annoying if you do any kind of work on your PC, this little program remembers where those programs were located and snaps back them back into place when the monitor is "reconnected"

  • InfluxDB
