Display Does not Turn Off #116

I have 2 monitors connected via HDMI and DisplayPort. I have a third monitor connected via a USB-A-to-HDMI adapter. I use USBDisplay to drive video through the adapter. All 3 monitors are the exact same brand and model.

When the laptop turns off all the monitors, the 2 monitors connected via HDMI and DisplayPort detect there is no signal and go into low power mode. The 3 monitor continues to get a signal from the adapter and shows a black screen. I can see the monitors backlight still leaking through the front of the screen.

I switched which monitor is connected through the adapter and the result is the same. I turned off the laptop and the monitor goes into low power mode.

Please fix USBDisplay to turn off the signal so the monitor can go into low power mode. Leaving the monitor on will greatly reduce the lifespan of the monitor.
