Try the Root Hub the port is on.
That is where the power management options are.

The "wake the computer" option is grayed out.

Google: USB-root-hub, "wake the computer", greyed-out

"wake the computer" is unchecked;
so I don't care if it's grayed-out or not.

I want to NOT wake the monitor -- not the computer.

Wear a blindfold when you sleep.
You always seem to have the oddest problems.

Try the following. No promises.
If the monitor has a VGA input...

My 60 Hz 4K monitor uses DisplayPort v1.2 .

If all cables indicate they've fallen off,
then perhaps the monitor is in the best position to put up
the "No Signal" dialog.

Preach !

Is your monitor using VGA ?
if so, you can't duplicate my scenario.

I wasn't attempting to duplicate it.

I looked at the schematic of a monitor, to
see what method they use. VGA uses ground
sense. HDMI uses +5V sense (which isn't
a good idea). DisplayPort is logically
just like HDMI, so should use +5V sense as well.

The VGA looked to me, to be the best port
to try passively suppressing the incorrect
logic of your monitor.

Maybe you could put a Google ChromeCast on one
of the ports, the kind that are powered by USB,
and plug that into a USB port on the computer.
Modern computers use +5VSB for the USB ports,
so there would be a steady source of power
on the display port of the ChromeCast.

These are the best suggestions I can come up
with, to try to trick your monitor into not
doing that.

Check your junk pile and see what sources you
can use to "fake out" your monitor. The digital
ports seem like they need power sources to
be faked out.

Sometimes, certain combinations of those adjustment buttons
on the LCD monitor, change how it works.

My Philips bdm4037uw has only one "button": a joystick/button.

Maybe you should find another hobby because computers ain't the hobby for
you Jeff.
Collecting pocket lint or door knobs might prove fun for you.

Yes, that's my problem, no one else cares.

You've gotten a lot of responses from people trying to help.

Different people, different problems.

Agree.

And it's very much a first-world problem, not a big deal.

I dunno, if it were such a big problem, there would be a solution, mitgation
or work around.

I hope you find a solution. I'm out of ideas.

turn down the brightness before retiring to sleep.
If turned down until it is a mere glimmer, the gleam of the glowing
advertisement should not be too painful even in the gloom of night.

I turn the brightness to zero, first thing, whenever I get a monitor,
and it stays there.

Besides not wanting to see the advertisement, all the time,
my (Swiss) eyes are far more sensitive than yours.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned the obvious solutions.

1. Move the computer out of the bedroom.
or
2. Move the bed out of the computer room.

I am pretty sure I've got a firmware problem,
not a hardware problem. DisplayPort is funky.
VGA can't run 4K.

I think Paul was suggesting that you use a VGA card to fake out the
computer. He didn't suggest that you actually run the monitor from VGA.

I tried this batch script:

pause

It finally worked with this line:

runas /user:Minas-Morgul\Carlos "powercfg /hibernate off"

Well, no, it doesn't work. At least, "/hibernate on" doesn't, the
machine did not hibernate for hours, and the entry for hibernate
disappeared from the start menu! I had to issue the command from the
powershell as administrator to reestablish hibernation.

I might live with that, for now... I will investigate other methods with
calm, but at least I have one.

Acer doesn't display any logo when waking up from sleep.

Nor does mine, that's standard.

15 seconds after the monitor is put to sleep
{ possibly from a RANDOM awakening },
as I'm starting to relax, "No Signal" flashes up,
annoying the crap out of me.

No monitor-review discusses this topic;
I'm the only one that cares.


I don't have that issue.

But that is a bug between the operating system and the monitor. They
don't usually document bugs, you know.

My Acer monitor sets the power LED to amber, when the

Fifteen seconds later, my monitor flashes a bright-white
dialog screen that says "Attention: No Video Input".

My monitor knows the difference between computer S1 sleep
( screen goes black ) versus cable has fallen off.

When you put your monitor to sleep, you don't get
"Attention: No Video Input" fifteen seconds later ?


My TV sets do that in TV mode, but not when connected to a computer. The
computer tells the monitor to go to sleep, does not disconnect. If the
computer disconnects, so that the monitor thinks the signal was lost, it
will say so.

You computer is not talking correctly to the monitor.

No, I don't get that notice on any of my computer displays - but most of
them are not Windows, anyway. Only the laptop has Windows, and laptops
are different.

Do you also have sensitive eyes ?

No, but this is not some Linux tiling window manager?

I have Bette Davis eyes.


It's not like she was still using them.

My Samsung displays "Samsung" in grey over a blue ellipse,
the rest is black. The acer displays "acer" in green on black
( I just looked at both, switched off all the room lights ).
None does a "super-annoying+blinding splash screen".

My eyes are _ extremely _ sensitive -- far more than most;
besides, I don't appreciate seeing an advertisement,
first thing in the morning.

No one knows how to stop the mouse
from accidentally waking the monitor;
apparently, it can't be done.

Device Manager - Mice and other pointing devices --Select your mouse
--Properties---Power Management--- UNSELECT the box that says
"Allow this device to wake the computer" --Save it.

Did that, didn't work.

Device Manager -- USB --- Find the USB port that the mouse is plugged into
Go into Power Management and UNSELECT "Allow This Device To Wake The Computer".

Nothing to de-select, not an option.

If not, get a cover for the monitor

No, I just turn the monitor towards the ceiling.

or a blindfold to cover your eyes when you sleep.

No, it's enough to just keep my eyes closed
and/or not focus on bright objects.
