The table in “Video Mode” on page 28 shows the image refresh rates supported by the display at
different screen resolution. Although your LCD monitor supports up to 75 Hz for analog video input,
we recommend that you use
60 Hz refresh rate for best performance.
To set the refresh rate with a standard Windows installation, follow the steps mentioned in your
Windows’s or graphic card’s user’s manual.
Minimizing Power Consumption
Many PCs support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. Power management features
reduce the display’s power consumption after a period of keyboard inactivity.
When the display is in a power-saving mode, the screen is blank and the power indicator is amber.
Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse restores the image in several seconds. Consult
your PC documentation for information about setting the power-saving modes.
The display accepts the signals for standard power-saving mode, when PC go into power saving
mode . The display will go into power saving.
Caring for and Cleaning the Display
To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the LCD panel, we recommend that you:
