Technical Features
Plug & Play
This monitor complies with the DDC1, DDC2B and DDC2Bi
Display Data Channel (DDC) standards of VESA.
When a DDC1 host system is connected, the monitor
synchronizes with the V. CLK in accordance with the VESA
standards and outputs the EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) to the data line.
When a DDC2B or DDC2Bi host system is connected, the
monitor automatically switches to the appropriate standard.
Power Saving Function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by
VESA and
E
NERGY
S
TAR, as well as the more stringent
NUTEK .
If the monitor is connected to a computer or video graphics
board that is VESA DPMS (Display Power Management
Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically reduce
power consumption in three stages as shown below.

Notes
• When your computer is in a power saving mode, MONITOR IS
IN POWER SAVE MODE appears on the screen if you press any
button on the monitor (page 15). After a few seconds, the
monitor enters the power saving mode again. Once the
horizontal and vertical sync signals are detected, the monitor
automatically resumes its normal operation mode.
• The power management feature is invoked when the computer
recognizes that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a
user-definable period of time.
• IBM recommends that you switch off your monitor at the end of
each working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for
long periods during the day.
Damper Wires
When viewing a white background, very thin horizontal
lines may be visible on the screen as shown below. These
lines are the shadows of the damper wires and are
characteristic of CRTs that use aperture grilles. The wires
are attached to the aperture grille on the inside of the
Trinitron tube and prevent the vibration of the aperture
grille.
