Technical Features

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
E S
NERGY TAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a
computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power
Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically
reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below.
Power mode Power
consumption*
normal 19 W (22 W)
operation
active off** 1 W (2 W)
(deep sleep)*
power off 1 W (2 W)
* "deep sleep" is the power saving mode defined by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
** When your computer enters the "active off" mode, the input signal is
cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After 20 seconds,
the monitor enters the power saving mode.
*** If the horizontal or vertical sync signal is received by the monitor, the
power indicator may alternately blink green and orange.
Automatic picture quality
adjustment function
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the
monitor's memory to provide a high quality picture at the center
of the screen. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset
modes.)
For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset
modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this
monitor automatically adjusts the picture position, phase, and
pitch, and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for
1
(power)
any timing within the monitor's frequency range (horizontal: 28 –
indicator
64 kHz, vertical: 48 – 75 Hz).
green
Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals
that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the monitor
may take a longer time than normal for displaying the picture on
orange***
the screen. This adjustment data is automatically stored in
memory so that next time, the monitor will function in the same
off
way as when the monitor receives the signals that match one of
the factory preset modes.
In all modes as above, if the picture is adjusted, the adjustment
data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever
the same input signal is received.
Note
While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only
the 1 (power) switch will operate.
