PLUG AND PLAY   
 
Plug & Play DDC2B Feature 
 
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC 
STANDARD. It allows 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 DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request 
EDID information over the DDC2B channel. 
 
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO 
INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE 
MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. 
 
This monitor meets the Green monitor 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 power saving 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 a key on the 
keyboard, or clicking the mouse.
