Sorry, had to. Roll back if the humour was misplaced. :P
I recently acquired a Samsung "gaming" screen (Samsung 28" Odyssey G7 4K 28BG700) to be the monitor for my desktop. Unfortunately, it seems to want to be everything but a simple monitor for my computer. It really wants to be a computer and multimedia hub of its own, resulting in quite a bit of noise for my needs. Every time my computer turns on the monitor, it displays a huge overlay covering the entire lower part of the screen, showing a menu I can navigate with the monitor's remote controller. When the computer cuts off the display output signal, the monitor shows me a 1 minute countdown before it turns itself off. Sometimes the monitor spends so long turning on, the computer is already past the bootup screen. On the other hand, I have used the monitor's built-in OS to adjust and calibrate the image and colour settings. I'd prefer to keep these. How can I get rid of all the noise, effectively making the screen a more "responsive", plain old dumb computer monitor?

Turning a Samsung smart screen into a dumb computer monitor
