ENERGY STAR

As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, eMachines has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

Energy declaration

When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, the monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving mode, the monitor enters the Active Off mode (sleep). In the Active Off mode the Power LED turns orange.

Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:

VESA state

LED indicator

Power consumption

 

 

 

On

Green

< 55 W

 

 

 

Active Off

Orange

< 2 W

 

 

 

To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any keyboard key.

Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the period of time after which the monitor enters these low power states.
