Technical Features

Preset and user modes

When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of the screen. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.) For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the monitor’s frequency range (horizontal: 30 – 121 kHz, vertical: 48 – 160 Hz). If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal is received.

Note for Windows users

For Windows users, check your video board manual or the utility program which comes with your graphic board and select the highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, ENERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below.

Power mode	Power	1 (power)
	consumption*	indicator

normal	≤ 145 W	green
operation

1 standby	≤ 15 W	green and orange
		alternate

2 suspend	≤ 15 W	green and orange
(sleep)**		alternate

3 active off***	≤ 1 W	orange
(deep sleep)**

power off	0 W	off

*Figures reflect power consumption when no USB compatible peripherals are connected to the monitor.

**“Sleep” and “deep sleep” are power saving modes defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.

***When your computer enters in a power saving mode, the input signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After a few seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode.
