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 is referred to as Power Save Mode*. If the computer detects input from 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:
The OSD will only function in the normal operation mode. When any button is pressed in Active-off mode, one of the following messages will be displayed:
* Zero power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the main cable from the monitor.
** Maximum power consumption with max luminance, Dell Soundbar, and USB active.
