Energy Saver Feature
When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the monitor utilizes less than 60 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 5 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).
The above energy saver feature only works when connected to computers that have energy saver features.
By selecting settings in the monitor’s Energy Saver utility, you can also program the monitor to enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor’s Energy Saver utility causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the Power LED blinks amber.
