Power management

ENERGY STAR

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

This monitor complies with the EPA's International ENERGY STAR Program, which is a program designed to encourage manufacturers of computer equipment to build circuitry into their products to reduce energy consumption during time of non-use.

Energy declaration

When connected to a computer that supports the Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, this 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 Active Off mode the power LED will still show amber.

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

State	LED color	Power consumption
On	Green	VX730: 80 W
		VX930: 103 W (1600 × 1200 @ 75 Hz,
		window=normal × 64%,
		brightness=100cd/m2)
Sleep	Orange	Less than or equal to 4 W
Active Off	Orange	Less than or equal to 2 W

To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move your 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.
