My monitor's power supply creates spikes on the outlet, will it burn my house?

Guys I'm a little worried about my monitor's power supply.

I have an Acer X32FP, before I got one that met my accuracy requirements I tried several units and they all had the same problem
What you see in this screenshot is my home automation system recording the loads on the electrical outlet.


On that electrical outlet there is only the monitor's power supply now and nothing else.
The power supply is also disconnected from the monitor.

How is it possible that several times in an hour it has an absorption of around 80W if it has no peripherals connected?

This happens even if the monitor is connected but turned off.

Do you think I should worry?

normal as monitor periodically checks for video activity and SMPS kicks on for a fraction of a second.

Your UPS power monitor is not accurate enough.

The problem I described happen also
When the monitor is disconnected from the power supply.

So no, it's not the monitor that causes it...

PSU has wake up periodically to check  if any load  is connected.
