Using Your Display

This chapter contains information about using your LCD Monitor.

Turning the Display On and Off

Use the power button located at the lower right side of the front panel of the display to turn the display on and off. When the display is on, the light (LED) near the Power button is illuminated. The light is green when both the display and PC are active and amber when the display is in a reduced power mode.

If your PC supplies power saving signals to the display, the display’s power management features reduce power consumption to low levels when your PC goes into its power-saving mode. See “Minimizing Power Consumption” on page 11 for more information.

If your PC doesn’t use industry standard power-save signaling techniques, you can reduce power consumption by turning off the display when it won’t be used for an extended period. You can turn the display off even if you leave your PC in running.

Note:

Because of the technology used in LCD panels, screen savers will not prolong the life of your display. So if the display will not be used for an extended period, be sure to turn it off.

Warning

To completely disconnect power from your display, you must remove the power cord from the wall outlet and then remove the power cable from the display.
