3 Using the Display

HP Pavilion Multimedia Displays

Video Modes” in Chapter 5 show the image refresh rates supported by the displays at different screen resolutions.

Minimizing Energy Use

All HP Pavilion computers and many other computers support VESA display power management. Power-management features reduce the display’s power consumption after a period of keyboard inactivity.

The display supports three different power-saving modes—standby, suspend, and sleep—which reduce consumption to less than eight watts. See “DPMS Power-Management Features” in Chapter 5 for a description of the characteristics of each mode.

When the display is in one of its power saving modes, the screen is blanked out and the front panel power indicator is amber. Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse restores the image. Consult your computer’s documentation for information about setting the power- saving modes.
