Power saving function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,

computer or video graphics board that is DPM (Display Power
Management) Standard compliant, the monitor will automatically
reduce power consumption as shown below.

cut and “NO INPUT SIGNAL” appears on the screen. After 5
seconds, the monitor enters the power saving mode.
“Deep sleep” is a power saving mode defined by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
Reducing the power consumption
(ECO mode)
If you touch ECO on the front of the monitor repeatedly, you can
select the screen brightness.
Each mode appears on the screen and the screen brightness is
