installed in your PC, the display can automatically reduce its power consumption when not
in use. If input from keyboard, mouse or other input devices is detected, the display
will
automatically "wake up". The following table shows the power consumption and
signaling of this automatic power saving feature:

This display is ENERGY STAR®-compliant .
* Zero power consumption in OFF mode can
only be achieved by disconnecting the mains cable from the display.
ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. registered mark. As an ENERGY STAR®
Partner, DELL has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for
energy efficiency.
You can install the display in any Plug and Play-compatible system.
The display automatically provides the computer system with its Extended Display
Identification Data (EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the system can
configure itself and optimize the display settings. If desired, the user can select
different settings, but in most cases display installation is automatic.
