1. Background
The traditional monitors have the function of electricity-savin g d ormanc y . Bu t t he interval of
dormanc y i s d if ficult to decide. If the interval is long, the purpose of saving electricity can not
be achieved . W hile if th e i nterva l i s s hort , y our computer and LCD monitor will be dormant often.
Whe n t he LC D m onitor become s d ormant , t he back light s w ill be turned of f immediately . The
frequent turning-on and turning-o ff of lights will result in th e l ightness being uneven an d e ve n ,
shortening
the life of the lights.
2. Our solution to the dilemma – Monitor the Life-Extension function
In view of that, we have designed the function of Monitor Life-Extension. Once yo u s elec t t he option of
“Advanced
Power Saving Mode” in the OSD menu, and then you ca n n ot only save electricit y , bu t e xten d t he life of th e
l ights.
3. Working principle of the Monitor Life-Extension function
T o minimize the impact of frequent turn-on and turn-of f o f L CD monito r , th e L ife-Extensio n f unction d ecreases
th e electricity supplied to the back-light of LCD monitor gradually , i nstead of cu tting i t o ff right a wa y w he n the P
C e nter s sleeping or of f mode. Please see the following comparison graphics for details .

This “Slow-Start-n-Delay-Of f” approach minimize s t he transit of electricity and temperatur e c aused by the
turning-on
and turning-of f o f the LCD monitor . Therefore, th e d ecay of backlight s o f T FT -LCD ca n b e
controlled at the certain level which is much less than it was.
