Sony GDM-W900 - Manual (Page 17)

Plug & Play
This monitor complies with the DDC™1, DDC2B and
DDC2AB which are the Display Data Chaimel (DDC)
standards of VESA.
When a DDCl 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 DDC2AB host system is connected, the
monitor automatically switches to each communication.
DDC™ is a trademark of Video Electronics Standard Association.
Damper Wire
Using a white backgroimd, very thin horizontal lines on the
screen are visible as shown below. These lines are damper
wires.
The Trinitron tube has a vertically striped Aperture Grill
inside. The Aperture Grille allows more light to pass
through to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color
and brightness.
These damper wires are attached to the Aperhure Grille to
prevent vibration of the Aperture Grille wire so that the
screen image is constantly stable.

Power Saving
Function
This monitor is capable of three states of reduced power
consumption. By sensing the absence of video signals and
one or both sync signals coming from the host computer, it
will reduce power consumption as follows.
Power Power Recovery POWER (1) (power)

• The H-sync is not present.
The unit goes into standby state.
• The V-sync is not present.
The unit goes into suspend state.
• Both the H-sync and V-sync cue not present.
The unit goes into active-off state.
The monitor requires a video card or screen saver software
which switches off one or both sync signals to activate the
power saving function.
Caution
If no video signal is input to the monitor, or if the INPUT
switch is set to the cormector to which no signal is input
when you turn on the monitor, the input signal warning
indicator (page 18) appears. After 30 seconds, the Power
Saving function automatically puts the monitor into the
Active-off state and the POWER SAVING indicator lights
up. Once the horizontal and vertical syncs are sensed, the
monitor will automatically return to its Normal op>eration
state.
