FEATURES
Energy Star Standards
This monitor may appear to be non-functional if there is no video input signal. For this monitor to operate properly, there must be a video input signal.
This monitor meets 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 a low power consumption 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 & Play DDC1/2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC1/2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. These capabilities allow 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 communication channel is defined in two levels: DDC1 and DDC2B.
The DDC1 is a uni-directional data channel from the display to the host that continuously transmits EDID information. The DDC2B is a bi-directional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the DDC2B channel.
See “Appendix C — Connector Pin Assignment” on page 17 for connector pin assignments.
