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 as shown below.

Each mode appears on the screen and the screen brightness is reduced according to the mode. The menu automatically disappears after about 5 seconds.

Screen brightness and power consumption are reduced as the mode changes from HIGH to MIDDLE to LOW.

The default setting of the screen brightness is set to “USER”. If you select “USER”, you can adjust the backlight level by pressing the M/m buttons, the same as when you select BACKLIGHT using the menu.

NOTE

Only while the ECO mode is set to “USER”, are the BACKLIGHT, CONTRAST, and BRIGHTNESS items of the menu available (page 11).

*When your computer enters the “active off” mode, the input signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After 5 seconds, the monitor enters the power saving mode.

**“deep sleep” is the power saving mode defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Automatic picture quality adjustment function

When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically adjusts the picture’s position and sharpness (phase/pitch), and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen.

The factory preset mode

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. If the input signal matches the factory preset mode, the picture appears on the screen automatically with the appropriate default adjustments.

If input signals do not match one of the factory preset modes

When the monitor receives an input signal that does not match one of the factory preset modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor is activated to ensure that a clear picture always appears on the screen (within the following monitor frequency ranges):
