ENERGY STAR○R Qualification

HP Displays marked with the ENERGY STAR○R certification mark meet the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR○R program. The EPA ENERGY STAR○R certification mark does not imply endorsement by the EPA. As an ENERGY STAR○R Partner, Hewlett Packard Company has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR○R program requirements for display energy efficiency.

The following ENERGY STAR○R certification mark appears on all ENERGY STAR○R qualified displays:

The ENERGY STAR○R program specifications for displays and computers were created by the EPA to promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices, and factories. One way products achieve this goal is by using the Microsoft Windows power management feature to reduce power consumption when the product is not in use. The power management feature enables the computer to initiate a low-power or “sleep” mode after a period of user inactivity. When used with an external ENERGY STAR○R qualified display, this feature also supports similar power management features for the display. To take advantage of these potential energy savings, users should use the default power management settings that are provided with ENERGY STAR qualified computers and displays. The default power management settings on ENERGY STAR○R qualified computers are preset to behave in the following ways when the system is operating on AC power:

●Turn off an external display after 15 minutes of user inactivity

●Initiate a low power sleep mode for the computer after 30 minutes of user inactivity ENERGY STAR○R qualified computers exit the low power sleep mode and ENERGY STAR○R qualified displays resume operation when the user resumes use of the computer. Examples include the user pressing the power/sleep button, receiving an input signal from an input device, receiving an input signal from a network connection with the Wake On LAN (WOL) feature enabled, etc.
