HP Pavilion Multimedia Displays
DPMS Power-Management
Features
The HP Pavilion M40, M50, and M70
displays can recognize power-
management signals from VESA DPMS
video adapters, such as those in HP
Pavilion and many other computers.
When the display receives an
appropriate signal, it reduces its
power but remains ready for quick use.
The power light on the front panel
turns amber when the display is in a
power-saving mode.
VESA DPMS video adapters reduce
display power consumption by setting
the horizontal and/or vertical
synchronization signals to inactive.
The display will recover quickly when
the synchronization signals are
reapplied.
Standby and Suspend modes offer low
power consumption with rapid recovery,
while Sleep mode offers the lowest
power consumption and a somewhat
slower recovery.
The following table shows the
characteristics of the normal
operating mode and the three power-
saving modes.
