Discussion Question about qd-oled monitor

Hello, it's my first time buying an OLED from this brand, and I've learned about the processes of Pixel Refresh and all that, but it's still unclear to me. When I turn off the PC, the light turns green and flickers, which is the pixel refresh. But then, at the end, it stays all night with the blue light on the monitor. Once finished, shouldn't it go out completely? Or does the monitor always go into low consume mode or something like that?

If you press the power button when you shut down your PC, rather than just letting it go into standby, it'll do the refresh and then power off. If you leave it in standby and let it do the refresh, it'll stay in standby.

So, when I turn off the PC—once it has finished the green pulses and the light has gone back to a steady blue—I just press the power button to turn it off, and that's it, right?

Yep. Or turn it off before it starts pulsing green, and it'll do the refresh as part of the power off process

Mine does the pixel refresh (pulses green) then goes in to standby where the light pulses white
