10 to 20 seconds? What monitor do you have? All decent monitors have a maximum of 5 seconds.

Unfortunately the very best LCD monitors currently all take pretty long to start up.

The Asus PG27UQ (regarded as the current-best consumer 27" 4K LCD) takes almost 20 seconds to start up, presumably to initialize a bunch of state for its FPGA.

LCD? What year is this, 2005? I have LED for over a decade now, and all my friends as well.

No, you don’t. Unless you are using an OLED screen, you have an LED-backlit LCD screen. Vendors call them LED monitors because it sounds more high tech than old LCD monitors.

That said, LED backlit LCDs are better than the old CCFL screens.
