Tyan Computer B5102, GX21 manual Video Off In Suspend, Always On / Suspend - Off

Note: Green monitors detect the V/H SYNC signals to turn off their electron guns. It is important to realize that the CRT con- sumes the most power (several hundred watts) of any system. To really save energy, you must shut it down when not in use. Green monitors (also known as Energy Star monitors) reduce power usage by 90% with- out actually turing off the CRT. To make a green monitor function properly you MUST use Video Off Method = V/H Sync, because this tells the Green Monitor to shut down. If you incorrectly use the "Blank Screen" set- ting then you will just get a blank screen which still consumes 100% power. If you have a screensaver running, then you will not have CPU inactivity, and the standard BIOS options will not shut the CRT down ever. So, turn OFF your screensaver in the WINDOWS control panel, not in the BIOS.
