Operating the Monitor
Power-Saver FeatureWhen the monitor is in normal operating mode, the Power light is blue and the monitor uses the normal watts of power. For power usage, refer to “Technical Specifications” (Appendix B).
The monitor also supports a power-saver mode that is controlled by the computer. When the monitor is in the reduced-power state, the monitor screen is blank, the backlight is off, and the Power light is amber. The monitor uses minimum power. When the monitor is “awakened,” a brief warm-up period occurs before the monitor returns to normal operating mode. The energy-saving reduced power state activates if the monitor does not detect either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical sync signal. The power-saver feature must be activated on your computer for this feature to work.
Refer to your computer documentation for instructions on setting energy-saver features (sometimes called power-management features).
✎The energy-saver feature works only when the monitor is connected to computers that have energy-saver features.
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)If your monitor supports HDCP, it can receive high-definition content. High-definition content is available in many sources, such as HD-DVD and Blu-Ray devices or HDTV air or cable broadcasts. If you do not have an HDCP-enabled monitor, you may see a black screen or a lower resolution picture when playing high-definition protected content. Your computer graphic card and monitor must both support HDCP to display protected content.
