AW3223QF, Fast Wakeup always active for Windows 11 Standby, 11 W power usage
Alienware 32 4K QD OLED Gaming Monitor AW3225QF
Hello.
There is no support topic available for "firmware issues" when you create a support ticket and the standard form answer I got yet asks me to take photos of dead pixels and surface damage without a single mention of my original problem. So let's try here instead.
When the AW3223QF is sent into standby mode by Windows 11 then it always seems to use "Fast Wakeup" standby despite the option being *disabled* via OSD menu. As a consequence it pulls 11 W (!) power from the wall despite doing nothing productive at all.
This does not (always) happen when the PC is shutdown instead where full standby uses less than 2 W (which is close enough to soft-off at less than 1 W).

This discrepancy in power consumption and the inability to fully disable the "Fast Wakeup" mode through the OSD menu is indeed frustrating. It's understandable that you'd seek a resolution, especially considering the environmental impact and potential increase in electricity bills associated with the higher standby power consumption.
