27" Acer XF270HUA - can I disable "Hot Plug Detection"

juraj_m

Hello,

Before I buy this monitor (27" Acer XF270HUA) I need to know if it supports disabling of "Hot Plug Detection".
This will be my third monitor in my multi-monitor setup and I need to know that I can use DP cable and yet be able to turn monitor off (or sleep) without undesired "un-plug" detection in my Windows (basically thanks to "Hot Plug Detection" OS will stop detecting monitor and move all its content (windows and icons) to the other monitors even when the cable is still connected).

This issue is heavily discussed in many threads, for example here:
https://superuser.com/questions/630555/turning-displayport-monitor-off-disables-monitor-completely
https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/641n54/display_port_monitor_power_off_and_pc_stops/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/4pn4gx/how_to_disable_displayport_hot_plug_detecttmm/

Since Microsoft and nVidia and AMD are all refusing to provide a solution, this has to be supported by monitor manufacturer.

Thank you.
