Monitor Specifications

The following sections give you information about the various power management modes and pin assignments for various connectors of your monitor.

Power Management Modes

If you have VESA's compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. This is referred to as Power Save Mode*. If the computer detects input from keyboard, mouse, or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature:

VESA Modes Horizontal Sync Vertical Sync Video Power Indicator Power Consumption
Normal operation and USB active Active Active Active White 75 W (maximum)
Normal operation Active Active Active White 65 W (typical)
Active-off mode Inactive Inactive Blanked Amber Less than 2 W
Switch off
    -
     -
    -
Off Less than 1 W

NOTE: The OSD functions in the 'Normal operation' mode. One of the following messages appears when the menu key is touched in Active-off mode.

or

Activate the computer and 'wake up' the monitor to gain access to the OSD.

  Zero power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the main cable from the monitor.

Maintenance Guidelines

Cleaning Your Monitor

CAUTION: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning the monitor. 
CAUTION: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from the electrical outlet. 

For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:

  • To clean your antistatic screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.
  • Use a lightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the monitor. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the monitor. 
  • If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.
  • Handle your monitor with care as a dark-colored monitor may scratch and show white scuff marks more than a light-colored monitor. 
  • To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and turn a off your monitor when not in use.
