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!

    You are really a dog, aren’t you?

    But in all seriousness I know exactly what you mean and can hear them too, it also seems correlated to quality of a power supply. I’m assuming something to do with proper isolation costing more.

      Being a dog would be better. They can at least filter out sounds fairly quickly, their brains don’t even register the noise after a few minutes.
