Technical Features

Power saving function

This display meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,

E

NERGY

S

TAR, and NUTEK. If the display is connected to a

computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power
Management Standard) for Analog input / DMPM (DVI Digital
Monitor Power Management) for Digital input compliant, the
display will automatically reduce power consumption as shown
below.

1)

When your computer enters the “active off” mode, the input signal is
cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After 5 seconds,
the display enters the power saving mode.
“deep sleep” is the power saving mode defined by the Environmental
Protection Agency.

Reducing the power consumption

(ECO mode)

If you press the ECO button on the front of the display repeatedly,
you can select the screen brightness.

Each mode appears on the screen and the screen brightness is
reduced according to the mode. The menu automatically
disappears after about 5 seconds.
Screen brightness and power consumption are reduced as the
mode changes from HIGH to MIDDLE to LOW.

The default setting of the screen brightness is set to HIGH.
If you select USER, you can adjust the backlight level by pressing
the

m/M buttons, the same as when you select BACKLIGHT

using the menu.

Note
For those displays with analog inputs, only while the ECO mode is set to
USER, are the BACKLIGHT, CONTRAST, and BRIGHTNESS items of
the menu available (page 14).

Automatic picture quality
adjustment function (analog RGB
signal only)

When the display receives an input signal, it
automatically adjusts the picture’s position and
sharpness (phase/pitch), and ensures that a clear
picture appears on the screen.

The factory preset mode

When the display receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the
display’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of
the screen. If the input signal matches the factory preset mode, the
picture appears on the screen automatically with the appropriate
default adjustments.

If input signals do not match one of the factory
preset modes

When the display receives an input signal that does not match one
of the factory preset modes, the automatic picture quality
adjustment function of this display is activated to ensure that a
clear picture always appears on the screen (within the following
display frequency ranges):
Horizontal frequency: 28–80 kHz
Vertical frequency:

48–75 Hz

Consequently, the first time the display receives input signals that
do not match one of the factory preset modes, the display may
take a longer time than normal to display the picture on the screen.
This adjustment data is automatically stored in memory so that
next time, the display will function in the same way as when the
display receives the signals that match one of the factory preset
modes.

If you adjust the phase, pitch, and picture position
manually

For some input signals, the automatic picture quality adjustment
function of this display may not completely adjust the picture
position, phase, and pitch. In this case, you can set these
adjustments manually (page 14). If you set these adjustments
manually, they are stored in memory as user modes and
automatically recalled whenever the display receives the same
input signals.

Note
While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only
the 1 (power) switch will operate.
The picture may flicker during this time, but this is not a malfunction.
Simply wait a few moments until the adjustment completes.
