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 will then enter the
Active Off mode (different from total shut down). In the ActiveOff mode the
Power LED will still show amber.
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:
To “wake” the monitor when it is in ActiveOff 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.
VESA State LED Indicator Power Consumption
On Green <60 W
ActiveOff Amber <3W
