Power Consumption

Energy Saving Design

This monitor complies with the EPA's Energy Star program, which is a
program designed to have manufacturers of computer equipment build
circuitry into their products to reduce power consumption during time of
non-use.

This monitor also goes into its energy saving mode if you exceed the
monitor's operating limits, such as the maximum resolution of 1280x1024
or the frequency refresh rates of 30-70kHz horizontal or 50-160Hz vertical.
When this monitor is used with a Green or EPA Energy Star PC, or a PC
with a screen blanking software following the VESA Display Power
Management Signalling (DPMS) protocol, this monitor can conserve
significant energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non­use. When the PC goes into the energy saving mode, the monitor will go
into a suspended operation state, indicated by the Power LED light
changing from a green color to an amber color. After an extended period
in the suspended mode, the monitor will then enter a semi-OFF mode to
conserve more energy. In the semi-OFF mode or DPMS OFF mode as we
call it in our specifications, the Power LED will still show an amber color.
When you awaken your PC by hitting a key or moving the mouse, the
monitor will also awaken to its normal operating mode, indicated by the
green Power LED light. By following these conventions, the power
consumption can be reduced to the following levels:

Low Radiation Compliance

(MPR II)

DDC (Display Data

Channel)

Low Radiation Compliance (MPR II) and
DDC (Display Data Channel)

This monitor meets one of the strictest guidelines available today for low
radiation emissions, offering the user extra shielding and an antistatic
screen coating. These guidelines, set forth by a government agency in
Sweden, limit the amount of emission allowed in the Extremely Low
Frequency (ELF) and Very Low Frequency (VLF) electromagnetic range.

DDC is a communication channel over which the monitor automatically
informs the host system (PC) about its capabilities. This monitor has DDC
function; DDC2B. DDC2B carry out uni-directional communication
between the PC and the monitor. Under these situations, the PC sends
display data to the monitor but not commands to control the monitor
settings.

NOTE

PC must support DDC functions to do this.
If your monitor is displaying a mono chrome image or the wrong resolution,

select the DDC OFF function.

Display Modes

(Resolution)

User Modes

Recalling Display Modes

Video Memory Modes

The monitor has 31 memory locations for display modes, 6 of which
are factory preset to popular video modes.

Modes 7-31 are empty and can accept new video data. If the monitor
detects a new video mode that has not been present before or is not
one of the preset modes, it stores the new mode automatically in one
of the empty modes starting with mode 7.

If you use up the 25 blank modes and still have more new video
modes, the monitor replaces the information in the user modes starting
with mode 7.

When your monitor detects a mode it has seen before, it automatically
recalls the image settings you may have made the last time you used
that mode.

You may, however, manually force a recall of each of the 6 preset
modes by pressing the Recall button. All preset modes are
automatically recalled as the monitor senses the incoming signal.

The ability to recall the preset modes is dependent on the signal
coming from your PC’s video card or system. If this signal does not
match any of the factory modes, the monitor automatically sets itself to
display the image.
