Control Panel > Power Options > Advanced > Power Buttons > Shutdown.

This doesn't actually turn my Dell monitor completely off, but puts it into sleep mode, as well as starting the Windows shutdown process when I press the power button on my PC.

Keep the monitor on after shutdown and turn it off by the power strip.

What is so hard by turning on the monitor?

Depending on you PSU / Power Supply and you screen.

Some PSU's allow you to run your monitor off the computer so when you turn your computer off it turns the monitor off.

Depending on the monitor you have, you're only using like 1 watt in standby. Unless you don't want to see the standby light

I'm using the same monitor as you, actually. And I've read we can turn off the light in the menu.

Didn't even know that. I like the blue LED though since it matches with my case and external HD. Well if that's the case, then your monitor only uses 1W in standby.

It's just a matter of convenience, I suppose. Especially since I've used laptops for the last 10 years and never had to deal with turning off a monitor.

It's in the Setup menu and called "Power Indicator"

Thanks! I didn't move all the way through the menu to see that there were more options. Now I see it.
