Standards
This monitor may appear to be non-functional if there is no video input signal.
For this monitor to operate properly, there must be a video input signal.
This monitor meets power management standards as set by the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and/or the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Swedish Confederation
Employees (NUTEK). This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy
by reducing power consumption when there is no video input signal present.
When there is no video input signal, this monitor, following a time-out period,
will automatically switch to a low power consumption mode. This reduces the
monitor's internal power supply consumption. After the video input signal is
restored, full power is restored, and the display is automatically redrawn. The
appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature, except the display is
completely off. The display is restored by pressing any key on the keyboard
or clicking the mouse.
Plug and Play DDC1/2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC1/2B capabilities according to the
VESA DDC STANDARD. These capabilities allow the monitor to inform the
host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used,
communicate additional information about its display capabilities. The
communication channel is defined in two levels: DDC1 and DDC2B.
The DDC1 is a uni-directional data channel from the display to the host that
continuously transmits EDID information. The DDC2B is a bi-directional data
channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information
over the DDC2B channel.
