PowerSaver
This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system
saves energy by switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it has not been used
for a certain amount of time. The available modes are “On”, “Standby”, “Sleep”, and “Deep
Sleep”.
This system operates with a VESA DPMS compliant video card installed in your computer.
You use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature. See Table 1-2
below for details.
NOTE: This monitor automatically returns to normal operation when horizontal
and vertical sync return. This occurs when you move the computer’s mouse or
press a key on the keyboard.

compliant and NUTEK compliant when used with a com-
puter equipped with VESA DPMS functionality.
For energy conservation, turn your monitor OFF when it is not needed, or when leaving it
unattended for long periods.
