DPMS Power Management
Features
To maximize screen life:
Take advantage of your PC's power
3
management system to control your monitor.
The HP Pavilion MX50, MX70, and MX90
3
Multimedia Monitors can recognize power
management signals from VESA Display Power
Management Signaling (DPMS) video
adapters, such as those in HP Pavilion and
many other PCs. When the monitor receives an
appropriate signal, it reduces its power but
remains ready for quick use. The power light
on the front panel turns yellow/amber when
the monitor is in a power-saving mode.
VESA DPMS video adapters reduce monitor
3
power consumption by setting the horizontal
and/or vertical synchronization signals to
inactive. The monitor will recover quickly when
the synchronization signals are reapplied.
Standby and Suspend modes offer low power
3
consumption with rapid recovery, while Sleep
mode offers the lowest power consumption
and a somewhat slower recovery.
