Monitor Specifications

The following sections give you information about the various power management modes and pin assignments for various connectors of your monitor.

Power Management Modes

If you have VESA's DPM™ compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor automatically reduces its power consumption when not in use. This is referred to as Power Save Mode. The monitor automatically resumes functioning when the system detects input from the keyboard, mouse or other input devices.The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature:

VESA Modes Horizontal Sync Vertical Sync Video Power Indicator Power Consumption

Normal operation Active Active Active White 37 W (maximun) Active-off mode Inactive Inactive Blanked Amber Less than 2 W Switch off - - - Off Less than 1 W

NOTE: The OSD only functions in the normal operation mode. One of the following messages appears when the Menu or Plus buttons are pressed when in Active-off

mode.
