Automatic Power Savings &

Preset Resolution Modes

If you have VESA's DPMS compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. If input from a keyboard, mouse, or other device is detected, the monitor automatically “wakes up.” The table at left shows the power consumption and signalling of this automatic power-saving feature. To turn this feature on and off, see page 7. The table at right shows the 8 factory preset resolution modes. The maximum number of modes is 12 This leaves room for additions.

Glossary

Here are a few definitions that may help you.

Brightness	Refers to how light or dark the overall screen is.
Color	A term used to refer to the color balance, uniformity, and saturation settings on your monitor screen. Color (even white,
Temperature	gray, and black) on your screen is achieved by blending (or balancing) three primary colors: red, green, and blue. As you
	increase or decrease any one of these colors, the color temperature changes. For example, at 9300˚ K, you are using more
	blue in your color temperature; therefore, your screen will be saturated with more blue and should appear uniformly “bluer”
	from one side of the screen to the other. At 6500˚ K, you are using more red in your mixture. True color balance is achieved
	when a gray object shows no traces of either red, green, or blue, regardless of the brightness of the image.
Contrast	Refers to the sharpness of objects on the screen and the ability to easily distinguish one from the other.
Degauss	The process by which metal parts of the screen are demagnetized in order to reduce screen distortion and color impurity.
DDC	(Display Data Channel) is a signaling standard established to help the performance of personal computers. In order to
	use this function, your computer must be designed for DDC. There are several types of DDC. Most computer monitors
	are designed for DDC1 and DDC2 Level B (DDC1 /2B).
Geometry	A set of controls that allows you to adjust the alignment of the picture on the monitor screen. The goal is to “square up”
	the picture. This is done by adjusting such items as balanced pincushion, pincushion, parallelogram, rotation, and
	trapezoid.
Moire	A fringe pattern caused by the interference between two superimposed line patterns.
Noise	Term used to refer to interference with the monitor’s picture.
USB	Universal Serial Bus. A way to connect your IBM-compatible computer, monitor, and peripherals for true Plug-and-Play
	functions. This is an emerging technology.
