FEATURES
Green monitor
• The monitor has a power saving function that conforms to the VESA
DPMS standard. This feature will only work if your PC is a green PC.
This feature is similar to a screen saver, except that your monitor will turn
itself off instead of activating the screen saver.
To activate this feature in Windows® 95/98/ME/2000/XP:
In Windows® 95/98/ME/2000/XP, this feature can be activated and
customized under the screen saver setting of the display properties.
1. Right click on the desktop and choose Properties.
2. Click on the tab that says Screen Saver. If your system supports Green
PC, there will be a section entitled “Energy Saving Features of Monitor.”
If there isn’t a section like that, then your PC does not support Green
Monitor. The monitor will behave just like a normal monitor, so you will
have to turn it off manually to save energy.
3. In the “Energy Saving Features of Monitor” sections are two boxes,
Standby and Shut off. To activate either one, click the box next to each
one.
4. You can specify the amount of inactive time before your monitor enters
standby mode or shuts off.
5. This model of monitor can automatic degauss when switched on. You
can use the perform degauss function knob on OSD menu to degauss by
yourself.
• The power-saving mode can be indicated by the light-emitting diode
(LED) on the front panel:
Signal Power
Mode Cable H-Sync V-Sync Video Indicator Consumption
On* Attached Yes Yes Active Green ≤ 75 W
Stand-by Attached No Yes Blank Flash
Green ≤ 2 W
Suspend Attached Yes No Blank Flash
Green ≤ 2 W
Off Attached No No Blank Flash
Green ≤ 2 W
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF
THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS
MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE A VIDEO
INPUT SIGNAL.
This monitor meets the Power Management standards as set by the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and/or the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The Swedish Confederation
Employees ( NUTEK ). This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy
by reducing power consumption when there is no video input signal present.
When there is no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out period,
will automatically switch to an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's
internal power supply consumption. After the video input signal is restored,
full power is restored and the display is automatically redrawn. The
appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is
completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or
clicking the mouse.
Plug and play
Plug & Play DDC2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the
VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of
its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used, communicate
additional information about its display capabilities.
The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The
host can request EDID information over the DDC2B channel.
