DisplayPort Deep Sleep question

[cyrano84]

I just bought a new gaming monitor the ASUS PG248Q G-SYNC. So far i'm happy with it, but after reading the manual it recommends disabling Deep Sleep in the OSD.

I would like to know what it this deep sleep? what are the advantages or disadvantages of enabling or disabling it? higher consumption? Shortened lifespan of the hardware?

please, enlighten me!

Deep sleep is just lower power than normal sleep. Even in standby, monitors are a fraction of a watt so there's not really any reason to have it other than to say they have it.

Then, should i just disable it because the ASUS PG248Q manual recommend so!
