Wait one. There are four power modes on most monitors:

  • Off at the wall
  • Turned off by the button, but still powered from the wall. The power indicator is generally off.
  • In standby. The indicator is generally orange.
  • In use. The screen is showing cat videos and the indicator is generally blue or green.


Which one are you and Peter referring to when you talk about "soft"?

I generally turn my monitors off at the button, because even the low power modes use power (and my desktop PC doesn't standby when it should, so I just turn it off when I'm not using it).
