Hello friends,
I'm telling you about the problem I'm having with my monitor. For a few days now, it has been taking a very long time to turn on, or rather, for the screen to appear. The light stayed on and after a while the image appeared (as if it didn't come out of stand-by). Sometimes it took 5 minutes and other times almost half an hour. If I turned it off and on again, it was the same. If the PC suspends it for energy saving, it's the same. That is, to understand it... it was "taking time to warm up" to explain it somehow.
And well, today I've been waiting for 2 hours and it doesn't look like it wants to give any more trouble. Any ideas what's wrong with it? Has a capacitor died? Has it said "enough is enough"? It's 8 years old. It's a Samsung SyncMaster 940bw LCD
Many thanks to those present for attending to me

Have you tried with another monitor? If you turn on the computer from scratch, does the same thing happen or only when you leave it idle?

And adding to what krampak said, it could be the capacitors in the monitor's power supply. You would have to disassemble it and replace them if that's the case.
A monitor at work had the same problem. It seemed like it had the contrast at 1%. -

Thanks for the advice.
Yes, other monitors do work. In fact I normally work with two, and now (obviously) I have switched to just one.
The monitor itself wouldn't turn on, the power button light kept blinking (like when the computer turns off the monitor after inactivity, and moving the mouse turns it on). You know, what we usually call standby, neither off nor on.
