Notes on power management

If your computer is equipped with power management, the monitor can support this function fully. Here the monitor does not distinguish between the individual energy-saving modes of the computer (standby mode, suspend mode and OFF mode), as it is capable of immediately switching into the mode with the highest energy-saving effect.

Stage	ON	Energy-saving mode
Power indicator	lights green	glows orange
Function	the monitor is working	the screen is dark
	normally
Power consumption	normal < 30 W	reduced to < 1 W

If your computer detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce the power consumption (energy-saving mode). The power indicator of the monitor changes colour to indicate the status change.
