4. Microcontroller Features
The microcontroller automatically detects the video board installed in your
system. When you turn on the monitor, the microcontroller first checks the
display mode memory stored in the user setting area of the video board, and
then the factory presetting area. It then adjusts to the proper display mode.
Display Modes Memory
The microcontroller has the memory capacity to store 32 different display
modes, including timing formats and display settings. This memory
capacity is divided into two parts: the user setting area and the factory
presetting area. The former can store 20 display modes. The latter can store
12 display modes and has already stored 9 display modes.
8User’s Guide
User Setting Area
The user setting area on the microcontroller maintains in its memory the last
20 display modes set by the user. You can change the settings, or add a
nonstandard mode. The microcontroller always detects and displays the last
mode stored in the user setting area first when the monitor is turned on.
Factory Presetting Area
There are 9 preferred display modes preset in the microcontroller. These
display modes are preset at the factory and include the most popular display
modes currently available (see the Specifications section). The
microcontroller searches for a proper display mode in this area if it fails to
find a proper display mode in the user setting area.

6. Power Saving Feature
This monitor’s power saving feature complies with these VESA power
saving modes:
Mode H.Sync V.Sync LED Power Consumption
Normal On On Green 90 w
Stand-by Off On Amber <15 w
Suspend On Off Amber <15 w
Off Off Off Amber
Blinking <5 w
The monitor uses the H.Sync and V.Sync signals to determine the operation
mode to enter.
The monitor power-saving feature automatically turns off H.Sync and
V.Sync if there is no input from the system for a certain period of time. To
use this feature, you need a green PC that is compliant with the VESA
power saving feature or a software utility to detect system input such as the
keyboard or mouse.
Time Settings
Time settings are adjusted from the system unit by software. To fulfill the
requirements in the NUTEK specification 803299/94 the total time from
indicated inactivity to Power Saving Position A2 (VESA Off) must not be
set to more than 70 minutes. We recommend you switch off the monitor
when you do not intend to use it for awhile.
