*M220VA* fully disabling the HDMI sleep timer?!

I use my "TV" as a monitor, and there's a sleep feature on the set that causes it to turn off after so long I do not use it as a TV (I did when we had cable, but since then that's been eliminated entirely). I checked under Timer and even selected "Off" on the timer but the TV still shuts down "to save energy". I still see "No signal. The power will be turned off."

This TV is a power sipper, so I don't need (or care!) about the "feature" -- in fact, I hate it because when the computer it's hooked up to sleeps it shuts down and I need to wake up the TV after turning the computer on.

Is there any way to disable this nonsense? Ideally it should behave with a partial "sleep" mode, but I know with a TV it's on or off. Vizio says no (of course, but who knows with them) but there has to be a way...

Hello this is Maxed Out IT

Fallow this

To setup a sleep timer: Menu > System > Timers > Sleep Timer Use the Left/Right Navigation buttons on the remote to highlight the period of time after which you want the TV to go to sleep: 30, 60, 90, 120, or 180 minutes. If you don’t want the sleep timer to activate, change the setting to Off.

To help save energy, your TV is set by default to turn off after 10 minutes without a

video or audio signal. This feature can be deactivated.

To set the Auto Power Off feature:

Menu > System > Timers > Auto Power Off > Of
