I own a Samsung monitor, and when it’s in standby mode the LED blinks all night. My hearing is so sensitive, and my room so quiet, that I can actually hear the LED powering on and off.

So, every night I power it off manually. Sometimes I forget as I turn my PC off, and as I’m laying comfortably in bed, falling asleep, I hear it cycling, so I have to get out of bed, walk over, and turn it off, which delays my sleep.

At this point I’m tempted to take off the bottom panel and break the LED with a screwdriver, but I’m worried that this might change how the current flows through the monitor’s circuit board.

I would appreciate any advice, suggestions or insights, thanks in advance!

    I made a script which turn my monitors off by sending a couple of DDC commands via ssh from termux so I can do this from my phone while in bed. Via ddc you can turn them off like the button press, not sleep
