Power Saver
A power control system, Power Saver, is installed inside the LCD monitor.
If the LCD monitor has not been used for a certain period of time, the
system will turn the LCD monitor to low voltage mode to save electrical
power. Slight movement of the mouse or pressing any key on the
keyboard will return the original screen image. You can use your PC to set
the function.
The LCD monitor is compatible with EPA ENERGY STAR and NÜTEK if
used with a VESA DPMS computer. To save power, turn off the LCD
monitor power when not in use.
Plug & Play
VESA Plug and Play eliminates the complicated and time-consuming
installation process. Your computer system will identify and automatically
adjust the LCD monitor. The LCD monitor uses Display Data Channel
(DDC) to send Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) to the
computer system, so the computer system can automatically adjust the
LCD monitor.
