Notes on power management
If your PC has a VESA DPMS (Video Electronics Standard Association, Display Power
Management Signaling) power management function (energy-saving mode), your monitor will fully
support this function. The monitor has a four-stage power management system.

If your PC detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce the
power consumption. The power indicator of the monitor changes color to indicate the status change.
If there is still no input, power consumption is further reduced (OFF mode).
Once an input is made at the PC the screen contents are redrawn and full power is restored.
The length of the individual stages is determined by the power management system of the PC. For
detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the Operating Manual or
Technical Manual of your PC.
i
The service life of your monitor will be extended if the OFF mode is switched to after
30 minutes at the earliest (setting in screen saver or in your PC's BIOS setup).
When the monitor is switched to OFF mode by the power management system a power
consumption of up to 5 W is maintained to feed the circuit for redrawing the screen
contents.
Changing the monitor settings
With the buttons and controls on the control panel, you can change the monitor settings. The picture
geometry, contrast and brightness are adjusted directly with the corresponding buttons or controls.
The other settings are carried out via an integrated OSD menu (On-Screen Display).
i
The OSD menu is available in seven languages. The English menu names are used in
the following description (default setting). How you set a different language for the OSD
menu is described in the section "Selecting the menu language ".
