DPMS Power-Management
Features
The HP Pavilion M40, M50, and M70 displays can recognize power- management signals from VESA DPMS video adapters, such as those in HP Pavilion and many other computers. When the display receives an appropriate signal, it reduces its power but remains ready for quick use. The power light on the front panel turns amber when the display is in a
VESA DPMS video adapters reduce display power consumption by setting the horizontal and/or vertical synchronization signals to inactive. The display will recover quickly when the synchronization signals are reapplied.
Standby and Suspend modes offer low power consumption with rapid recovery, while Sleep mode offers the lowest power consumption and a somewhat slower recovery.
The following table shows the characteristics of the normal operating mode and the three power- saving modes.
