Hello Samsung Community,

I received my ViewFinity s9 monitor yesterday and used it for the first time. Before going to sleep, I put my laptop to sleep mode (Thunderbolt connected, on its stand), and I turned off the monitor using the remote control.

However, I noticed that every 10ā€“15 minutes during the night, my laptop would make the "charging connected" sound repeatedly. It seems like the monitor is intermittently delivering power, even though it's turned off.

Even when I select "Power Off" from the monitor, it continues to provide power via USB-C. I was expecting both charging and data transfer to stop once the monitor is off. Also, it seems to start charging again when the battery drops below 80% as I guess. I un-plugged the thunderbolt cable before I re-sleep again.

Is this the intended behavior? Will there be a firmware update or setting to fully cut off USB-C power and data when the monitor is turned off?

Thank you.
