[SOLVED]Intel HD 4600 HDMI - Monitor won't standby

Hi,

I bought a new desktop with the intel i5 4440S - intel hd 4600 and I have a problem with the monitor standby.
When the monitor go to standby, the monitor's led is orange for only 2 seconds then it goes blue and try to catch the hdmi signal and again like a loop.
Normally when the monitor is standby the led is always orange until I move the mouse to wake up from the standby.
The monitor is a Iiyama prolite x2382hs connected via HDMI.

I am using the latest kernel 3.13rc6 from AUR but the same thing happens with 3.12.

[kitsune@jp ~]$ xset q

What can I do?

Ok, after a long research it seems that this behaviour is normal for HDMI (first time I use HDMI).
I also tried with the DVI cable and it works fine, confirming that is an HDMI "issue".

Problem solved.
