1. Blank - BIOS will only blank the monitor's screen. The electricity saved in this mode
is negligible and this function is only used as a screen saver to prevent screen
damage while the screen is on but not in use.
2. V/H SYNC+Blank - The system turns off the vertical and horizontal synchronization
ports, writes blanks to the VGA buffer and the monitor's electron gun turns off.
This function requires a monitor with Green features in order to take advantage of
the power saving function. If you enable this function and do not have a Green
monitor, the result will be the same as if you had selected Blank. This function
serves as both a screen saver and a power saver.
3. DPMS Supported - Select this option if your video card supports the Display Power
Management Signaling (DPMS) standard (i.e., you have a monitor that supports
Green features). Use software supplied by your video subsystem to set video power
management options.
