Yes that is by design, and is very annoying for me too. Who knows why Dell didn't keep the devices powered when the monitor is off. Weird how your A00 didn't do this, I thought ALL Dell monitors did.
I have a 2407 and decided to keep it, thinking I could live with the little issues. But now
I'm regretting it, having to deal with the USB hub / widescreen setting everyday is getting extremely old.
(not to mention the banding/Component issues, but I don't see those as often)
and yes, it is weird since I had 2 A00's until this A02. My friend with a 2005FPW also keeps the USB alive even though it says otherwise on the 2005FPW manual. The Dell LCD panels at school, however, does not keep the USB devices alive, even in power save mode :T.
This is annoying especially when I like to put my computer to Sleep mode and then off the monitor. When the monitor goes off, the computer comes right back from sleep mode due to the change in the USB configuration.

See the USB part of the Manual

Oh well. I'll have to get a separate hub =T.
Again, thanks for your reply.
