I have a dell monitor that is connected to my macbook via VGA adaptor.

It works fine, however, when I sleep the computer or the display, the monitor shuts off the signal completely as if I had unplugged the cord from my macbook and shows a colorful box that says "Monitor Test".

Obviously, this is a huge waste of power. When the monitor was connected to my PC, it would shut off but the power light would turn from orange to green.

How can I fix this issue with my MacBook? Please ask questions if my statement didn't make sense.

thanks
