PowerSaver
This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves
energy by switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it has not been used for a
certain amount of time. The monitor automatically returns to normal operation when you
move the computer's mouse or press a key on the keyboard. For energy conservation, turn
your monitor OFF when it is not needed, or when leaving it unattended for long periods. The
PowerSaver system operates with a VESA DPMS compliant video card installed in your
computer. Use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature.
