VESA DPMS
What is VESA DPMS?
The acronym VESA stands for “Video Electronics Standards Association,” and
DPMS stands for “Display Power Management Signaling.” DPMS is a
com-
munication standard that PCs and graphics boards use to implement power
savings at the monitor side.
Set-up Procedure
1) First, make the appropriate settings for the PC.
2) Select VESA DPMS icon in the ScreenManager’s PowerManager menu.
3) Select “On”.
Power saving method of VESA DPMS and the monitor
VESA DPMS utilizes four signals: ON, STAND-BY, SUSPEND, and OFF. The
monitor detects these signals from the graphics board and executes power-saving
accordingly, as shown in the table below.

Off Timer
What is Off Timer?
The Off Timer function allows the user to set the time in which the monitor
will be in operation, called the “On Period” and automatically shifts the
operation into the “Off Timer Mode” when the set “On Period” expires. The
energy consumption of the monitor in the “Off Timer Mode” is as low as the
one of the monitor in “PowerManger Mode 2” although no setting PC to
operate the Off Timer function is required.
Set-up Procedure
1) Select the “Off Timer” icon.
2) Select “Enable”.
3) Press the right/left key to adjust how long (1 to 23 hours) the monitor should
be in the “On Period”.
Advance notice (LED flashing green) will be given 15 minutes before the monitor
automatically enters the “Off Timer Mode”.
