Power Management System
When used in conjunction with a PC having power saving circuitry, or
a PC running screen blanking software this monitor automatically
reduces its power consumption when the computer is not in use.The
monitor has power-saving states, indicated by the light-emitting diode
(LED) on the front panel.These power-saving states exceed the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star requirements
using the methodology for Display Power Management Signals(DPMS).
Developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association(VESA).
Low Radiation Compliance (MPR II)
This monitor meets one of the strictest guidelines available today for
low radiation emissions, offering the user extra shielding and an anti-
static screen coating. These guidelines, set forth by a government
agency in Sweden, limits the amount of emission allowed in the
Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) and Very Low Frequency (VLF)
electromagnetic range.
DDC (Display Data Channel)
DDC is a communication channel over which the monitor
automatically informs the host system(PC) about its capabilities.This
monitor has three DDC function; DDC2B carry out uni-directional
communication between PC and monitor. Under these situations, the
PC sends display data to the monitor but not commands to control the
monitor servings.
NOTE: PC must support DDC functions to do this.
