2-8 “Setting On/Off for the automatic brightness adjustment function [Auto EcoView]” (page 22)
– EcoView Sense function
The sensor on the front side of the monitor detects the movement of a person. When a person moves away from the monitor, it shifts to the power saving mode automatically and does not display the images on the screen. Therefore, the function reduces the power consumption. 2-9 “Shifting to the power saving mode when a person leaves the monitor [EcoView Sense]” (page 22)
EcoView Index function
The green indicator shows the power consumption ratio responding to the brightness of the monitor. You can realize the power consumption reduction by taking consideration in the ratio of power saving.
