Power management modes

If you have VESA's DPM™ compliance display card or software installed in your

PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in

use. This feature is called Power Save Mode*. If the computer detects input from

the keyboard, mouse or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes

functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this

automatic power saving feature.

* Zero power consumption in off mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the

main cable from the monitor.
