Technical Features

Power saving function (user sensor/power saving mode)

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 enter the power saving mode. It automatically enters the low power consumption mode when the user sensor detects the absence of a user.

Power consumption state	Power consumption	AC power indicator	1 (power) indicator

normal operation	35 W	green	green

1 low power consumption mode	≤ 8 W	green	green and orange alternate

2 power saving mode	≤ 3 W	orange	orange

1 (power): off	≤ 3 W	red	off

AC power: off	0 W	off	off

1 Low power consumption mode (user sensor)

When the user sensor in the monitor detects the absence of a user, the monitor enters low power consumption mode after about 20 seconds. In low power consumption mode, the monitor is in a power saving state and shuts off power to all circuitry (except for that of the sensors) regardless of the setting of the computer. The monitor returns to normal operation mode when the presence of a user is detected by the user sensor.

When the monitor enters the power saving mode (as set according to the computer’s settings), the power saving mode takes precedence over the low power consumption mode. In this case, the monitor stays in the power saving mode regardless of the presence or absence of a user.

To return the monitor to normal operation mode, reset the computer’s power saving mode.

Note

The user sensor detects the presence/absence of a user up to a distance of approximately 60 cm from the screen surface. However, this distance may vary depending on the user’s clothes or the brightness of the surrounding area. If user detection fails due to the ambient conditions of the surrounding area, set the user sensor to OFF. If your monitor does not automatically return from low power consumption mode due to the failure of the user sensor to detect the presence of a user, press the 1 (power) switch twice to turn the monitor off and then on.

2 Power saving mode

DPMS defines three power saving states according to the state of the sync signals supplied from the computer. This monitor’s power consumption is input at approximately 3 W in all of these states if the power saving function is set to ON.

When your computer enters in the power saving mode, the input GB signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen.

After a few seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode.

Power saving	Sync signal state
state

suspend (sleep)*	horizontal: on / vertical: off

standby (sleep)*	horizontal: off / vertical: on

active off (deep sleep)*	horizontal: off / vertical: off

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

Note

The power saving function may not work normally if sync signals other than those listed above are supplied. In such a case, set the power saving function to OFF.
