I have 2 BeadaPanels directly connected to the motherboards USB 2.0 connecters. When I wake up the PC both panels remain in stand my mode. I have to restart the PC or open the AIDA64’s preferences window to get the panels out of standby mode.

I also set up a Beada Panel. It worked out so well I ended up installing 2. One took the place of my dual CD ROM opening (7” Panel) and the other inside the PC (5” Panel). Looks and works great. They are USB powered and I’m still trying to figure out how to play videos using DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Windows11.0 with no luck, any ideas.
