Switching off 2408WFP while LED still orange using wall outlet switch
After hearing all the issues about the 2407WFP or 2407WFP-HC power button breaking after some time, and the only solution is getting a replacement monitor, it seems the design of the power button has remained unchanged from that series of monitors. I do not want to unnecessarily press the power button to switch the monitor off after i shutdown my pc.
Is it ok if i power off the 2408 by leaving the monitor in stand-by mode (orange led) and switching the monitor off using the wall outlet switch instead? Will that prematurely damage the monitor in other ways? Thanks alot.

yeah i let it go into standby mode. but i dont want to have a orange led shining in the darkness when i sleep. irritating. and 2nd more impt reason is power usage like u mentioned. even standby consumes unnecessary power, however little power it uses. protect the environment.
i hear the ppl who had a faulty power button switch off at the outlet or the power strip as a workaround but i dunno anyone who has a working power button do this? anyone know whether it will damage the monitor in other ways? thanks alot. :)

any updates on this issue? will the monitor be gradually damaged if i leave the monitor on standby (orange LED) and use the wall outlet or power strip switch to switch off and on the 2408WFP bypassing the monitor's power button?
