Introduction
This microprocessor-based, digitally controled 19” color monitor
is a high performance and easy to use product. It employs the
latest on-screen-menu technology. The microprocessor capability
offers 10 most commonly used VESA timing modes preset in the
factory, and 6 modes adjustable to the special timings the user
may need.
Power Saving
When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the monitor
utilizes less than 120 watts of power and the Power LED is green.
The monitor also supports a reduced power state. The reduced
power state will be entered into if the monitor detects the absence
of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal.
Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is
blanked, the backlight is turned off, and the Power LED is turned
amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the
monitor will utilize less than 3 watts of power. There is a brief
warm up period before the monitor will return to its normal
operating mode.
Refer to your computer manual for instructions on setting energy
saver features (sometimes called power management features).
Note: The above energy saver feature only works when
connected to computers that have energy saver features. This
feature meets the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
Energy Star requirements and reduces power consumption.
