    Monitor Power Off vs Display Off via Power Plan


    I prefer to manually power down the monitor rather than rely on the "Turn off the display" setting in Power Plan Settings. Is there a major difference? Good, Bad, Ugly, das macht nichts? Any critical concerns I need be aware of?

    -thx

    I don't know of any G/B/U. What ever way you choose.

    I personally turn power off to my computer and everything plugged into it after a proper shut down.

    I appreciate your input Layback Bear. Circumstances require my computer to be running for long periods of time. The monitor is not needed for much of that time.

    There is essentially no difference.

    I have my monitor set to power down after 5 minutes of no activity. If I am to be away for sometime I shut the monitor off.

    I do shut my computer down at the end of working, shut off the UPS & turn off the wall switch as well.
