U2414H, disabling PSM entirely?
Basically, I've got dual monitor setup on my home PC with one of the monitors having a secondary input which I sometimes attach a laptop to. If the laptop input source turns off while the monitor is still set to it, the monitor enters PSM (Power Save Mode). This causes my PC running Windows 10 to lose access to it and subsequently rearrange all my windows to the remaining monitor. Since I can't find a way to force Windows 10 to retain the disabled monitor, my question is whether there's:
1) A way to disable PSM entirely
2) Set PSM to disable only when all sources are off
3) Still expose the monitor input even during PSM?

* For my Dell notes, private message me the following =
- U2414H service tag number and/or 20 digit alpha numeric serial number
- From whom and when did you purchase this U2414H?
* The floating PSM (Power Save Mode) message cannot be changed or removed. The PSM and standby modes are built into the monitor firmware. I have never seen a way in any Dell monitors OSD (On Screen Display) Menu to "disable" the PSM feature. When on, all Dell monitors "await" a signal from the PC. If no PC video signal, the monitor enters standby mode, then PSM. In a dual monitor setup, I do not save any open windows or icons on the secondary monitor. All of my program/software icons are saved to the Windows taskbar on the primary monitor. I make sure to move any open windows on the secondary monitor to the primary monitor, then turn the secondary monitor off, before turning the laptop off or disconnecting the secondary monitor from it.
