Monitor will not wake when the monitor is set to sleep mode
You may encounter a situation where the AW2518H display will not wake using keyboard or
mouse input after the display enters the sleep mode. Powering off then powering on the display
resolves the issue until the monitor sleeps again.
In order to meet the sleep mode power consumption of 0.5W, the NVidia G-sync module within
the AW2518H display will be turned off after the monitor enters sleep mode. This state will
ignore mouse movement.
