Power management modes
If you have VESA's DPM™ compliance display card or software installed in your
PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in
use. This feature is called Power Save Mode*. If the computer detects input from
the keyboard, mouse or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes
functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this
automatic power saving feature.
* Zero power consumption in off mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the
main cable from the monitor.
