Monitor Specifications

The following sections give you information about the various power management modes and pin assignments for the various connectors of your monitor.

Power Management Modes

If you have VESA's DPM compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor automatically reduces 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:

VESA Modes Horizontal Sync Vertical Sync Video Power Indicator Power Consumption

Normal operation Active Active Active White 23 W (Maximum) for S2240L

18 W (Typical) for S2240L

24 W (Maximum) for S2340L

19 W (Typical) for S2340L
