Power Management Modes  
If you have VESA's DPM™ compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in 
use. This is referred to as  Power Save Mode *. If the computer detects input from keyboard, mouse, or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes 
functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature:
