Power Saving Function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA and ENERGY STAR, as well as the more stringent

NUTEK .

If the monitor is connected to a computer or video graphics board that is VESA DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below.

Notes

•When your computer is in a power saving mode, MONITOR IS IN POWER SAVE MODE appears on the screen if you press any button on the monitor (page 17). After a few seconds, the monitor enters the power saving mode again. Once the horizontal and vertical sync signals are detected, the monitor automatically resumes its normal operation mode.

•The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period of time.

•IBM recommends that you switch off your monitor at the end of each working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods during the day.

Damper Wires

When viewing a white background, very thin horizontal lines may be visible on the screen as shown below. These lines are the shadows of the damper wires and are characteristic of CRTs that use aperture grilles. The wires are attached to the aperture grille on the inside of the Trinitron tube and prevent the vibration of the aperture grille.

Plug & Play

This monitor complies with the DDC1, DDC2B and DDC2Bi Display Data Channel (DDC) standards of VESA.

When a DDC1 host system is connected, the monitor synchronizes with the V. CLK in accordance with the VESA standards and outputs the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to the data line.

When a DDC2B or DDC2Bi host system is connected, the monitor automatically switches to the appropriate standard.
