Power Management System

The LCD Monitor complies with the VESA DPMS (version 1.0p) power management proposal. The VESA DPMS proposal provides four phases of power saving modes by detecting the horizontal or vertical sync signal. When the LCD Monitor is in power saving mode or detects an incorrect timing, the Monitor screen will go blank, and the power LED indicator will start to blink.
