PTIMIZE THE LIFETIME OF YOUR DISPLAY
Enabling the Display Power Management System (DPMS) of your display
will optimize its diagnostic lifetime by automatically switching off the

default, DPMS is enabled on your display, but it also needs to be
activated on your workstation. To do this, go to “Power Options
Properties” in the “Control Panel”.

properties” window of your workstation.

static image elements for several hours continuously (so that the screen
saver is not activated), change the image content regularly to avoid
image retention of the static elements.

Barco recommends setting DPMS activation after 20 minutes of

Barco recommends setting screen saver activation after 5
minutes of non-usage. A good screen saver displays moving
content.
