Using Your Display 

This chapter contains information about using your LCD Monitor. 

Turning the Display On and Off 

Use the power button located at the lower right side of the front panel of the display to turn the 
display on and off. When the display is on, the light (LED) near the Power button is illuminated. 
The light is green when both the display and PC are active and amber when the display is in 
power-saving mode. 

 

If your PC supplies power saving signals to the display, the display’s power management features 
reduce power consumption to low levels when your PC goes into its power-saving mode. See 
“Minimizing Power Consumption” on page 9 for more information. 

If your PC doesn’t use industry standard power-saving techniques, you can reduce power 
consumption by turning off the display when it won’t be used for an extended period. You can turn 
the display off even if you leave your PC in running. 

Because of the technology used in LCD panels, screen savers will not prolong the life of 
your display. Be sure to turn off the display if it will not be used for an extended period.
