Power Saver

A power control system, Power Saver, is installed inside the LCD monitor. If the LCD monitor has not been used for a certain period of time, the system will turn the LCD monitor to low voltage mode to save electrical power. Slight movement of the mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard will return the original screen image. You can use your PC to set the function.

The LCD monitor is compatible with EPA ENERGY STAR and NÜTEK if used with a VESA DPMS computer. To save power, turn off the LCD monitor power when not in use.

Plug & Play

VESA Plug and Play eliminates the complicated and time-consuming

installation process. Your computer system will identify and automatically adjust the LCD monitor. The LCD monitor uses Display Data Channel (DDC) to send Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) to the computer system, so the computer system can automatically adjust the LCD monitor.
