ENERGY SAVER MODES

Your monitor has been designed to meet strict EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Energy Star requirements for reduced power consumption and to comply with the VESA Standard Display Power Management Signal. Using a combination of hardware and software functions, this energy-saving feature allows the computer to control your monitor’s power consumption and reduce your monitor’s power state when not in use.

NOTE: Power consumption does not include the speaker power.

IMPORTANT: Your monitor’s energy saver feature works only when your monitor is connected to a computer that also has energy saver features.

The following table describes your monitor energy saver levels in each of four power states.
