Technical Features
Power saving function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
E
NERGY
S
TAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a
computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power
Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically
reduce power consumption as shown below.
SDM-HS74/SDM-HS74P
SDM-HS94/SDM-HS94P
*
When your computer enters the “active off” mode, the input signal is
cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After 5 seconds,
the monitor enters the power saving mode.
** “deep sleep” is the power saving mode defined by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
Reducing the power consumption
(
mode)
If you set the
mode to LOW by pressing the
button on
the front of the monitor, the backlight level is reduced and the
power consumption is reduced, too.
Press the
button several times until LOW appears.
LOW appears on the screen and the backlight level is reduced.
LOW automatically disappears after about 5 seconds.
Automatic picture quality
adjustment function (analog RGB
signal only)
When the monitor receives an input signal, it
automatically adjusts the picture’s position and
sharpness (phase/pitch), and ensures that a clear
picture appears on the screen.
The factory preset mode
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the
monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center
of the screen. If the input signal matches the factory preset mode,
the picture appears on the screen automatically with the
appropriate default adjustments.
If input signals do not match one of the factory
preset modes
When the monitor receives an input signal that does not match one
of the factory preset modes, the automatic picture quality
adjustment function of this monitor is activated to ensure that a
clear picture always appears on the screen (within the following
monitor frequency ranges):
Horizontal frequency: 28–80 kHz
Vertical frequency:
48–75 Hz
Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals
that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the monitor
may take a longer time than normal to display the picture on the
screen. This adjustment data is automatically stored in memory so
that next time, the monitor will function in the same way as when
the monitor receives the signals that match one of the factory
preset modes.
If you adjust the phase, pitch, and picture position
manually
For some input signals, the automatic picture quality adjustment
function of this monitor may not completely adjust the picture
position, phase, and pitch. In this case, you can set these
adjustments manually (page 12). If you set these adjustments
manually, they are stored in memory as user modes and
automatically recalled whenever the monitor receives the same
input signals.
Note
While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only
the
1
(power) switch will operate.
