I just purchased an external Dell monitor to use with my Macbook, but I had a few questions about tweaks that can might be possible to make it a little more like an Apple display.

Is there any way to remove the gray boxes to pop up when the display is woken up or put to sleep?

Also, I have the Macbook set to use a hot corner to put the display to sleep. It takes this new monitor about 4-5 seconds to turn the backlight off (my old Apple display takes less than a second), is there any way to speed that up?

I realize it's a long shot to find a way to make this behave like a first party monitor, but thought I would check. Thanks for any help!
