Video Off Method:
This function serves as both a screen saver and power saver for monitors. See
the next function, Video Off After, for setting the video timer.
Blank Screen
- BIOS will only blank the monitor's screen. The electricity
saved in this mode is negligible and this function is only used as a screen saver
to prevent screen damage while the screen is on but not in use.
V/H SYNC+Blank
- The system turns off the vertical and horizontal
synchronization ports, writes blanks to the VGA buffer and the monitor's
electron gun turns off. This function requires a monitor with Green features in
order to take advantage of the power saving function. If you enable this function
and do not have a Green monitor, the result will be the same as if you had
selected Blank. This function serves as both a screen saver and a power saver.
DPMS Support
- Select this option if your video card supports the Display
Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard (i.e., you have a monitor that
supports Green features). Use software supplied by your video subsystem to
set video power management options.
