Technical Features

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	19 W (22 W)	green
operation
active off**	1 W (2 W)	orange***
(deep sleep)*
power off	1 W (2 W)	off

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

**When your computer enters the “active off” mode, the input signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After 20 seconds, the monitor enters the power saving mode.

***If the horizontal or vertical sync signal is received by the monitor, the power indicator may alternately blink green and orange.

Automatic picture quality adjustment function

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 automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor automatically adjusts the picture position, phase, and pitch, and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for any timing within the monitor’s frequency range (horizontal: 28 – 64 kHz, vertical: 48 – 75 Hz).

Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the monitor may take a longer time than normal for displaying the picture on the screen. This adjustment data is automatically stored in memory so that next time, the monitor will function in the same way as when the monitor receives the signals that match one of the factory preset modes.

In all modes as above, if the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal is received.
