How to turn on monitor when power is re-applied

[Curia_Angels]

Hi,

I'm currently building my new first arcade based on Retropie using a Raspberry Pi 3+
Everything is working fine except for my monitor Benq G2420HDBL.
When the monitor is powered on and I cut the power and re-apply power, I need to press the power button. Once I build the monitor in my case I will no longer have access to that button of course.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person with this problem, however I cannot find any good resource that helps me out.
Is there a way to open the monitor and bypass the power button so it turns on again when power is applied?

Regards,

I guess you could try bridging the connection so it always is on when power is applied

If you're willing to open up the monitor wire a small relay or something similar in parallel with your power button and have your raspberry pi turn it on. Momentary pulse to cycle the relay simulating a button press.
