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!
I kind of use a fan for that. At first it was just for the heat because I live on an upper floor of an apartment building, but now I can’t sleep without it.
So I guess I recommend a fan to cover the noise.
Unfortunately, the sound of the ceiling fan at full speed does nothing to cover the sound of the LED, because of the frequency. The sound of the motor and the wind are both very low, while the LED is high pitch and cuts right through it.
Damn that sucks. Maybe a white noise generator like that other person said.
I’ve never tried one, but I would need one with a high quality speaker to mask the LED.
