- If the monitor is left idle for the period of time to which the off timer is configured when Eco Motion Sensor is enabled, Eco Motion Sensor will activate and switch the monitor to power-saving mode.
- A 10-second countdown timer will start along with the above picture before the power-saving mode activates showing the operation status of the Eco Motion Sensor.


- If the screen brightness is adjusted according to the ambient light intensity when the Eco Light Sensor is on, a pop-up as shown above will appear showing the adjusting screen brightness.
- If the screen becomes brighter as the ambient light becomes brighter, the brightness slide bar level will increase with a sun image displayed. If the screen becomes darker, the brightness slide bar level
will decrease with a moon image displayed. The brightness slide bar will be displayed for 3 seconds after the sensor activates.

A pop-up as shown above will appear when an energy tree completes while Eco Icon Display is On.

If the above picture is displayed, it means the Eco Icon Display option is On. Change this setting to Off if you do not want to display the pop-up.










- The amount of energy saved by the Eco Motion Sensor, Eco Light Sensor, and Eco Saving functions will accumulate and the progress can be viewed as a growing energy tree.

The energy tree grows as the energy savings of the monitor accumulate. Accordingly, the tree's growth will also be affected by other functions that involve power consumption such as the brightness control function.
- The amount of energy savings accumulated by using the power-saving functions, such as Eco Motion Sensor, Eco Light Sensor and Eco Saving, will be calculated and represented as an amount of carbon dioxide.
- A complete energy tree will be displayed when the amount of energy savings accumulates to as much as the amount of carbon dioxide a tree absorbs in a year. This shows that your energy saving is as effective as planting a tree so that you can easily understand the accumulation of energy savings over time and its effect by viewing the progress of a tree growing.
- The progress of a tree growing will be represented as 10 different images (stages). After one full-grown tree is complete, the initial image will be restored and the number of trees will continue to accumulate. The number for energy trees will be rounded to one decimal place.

9.2 PowerSaver
The power-saving function of this product reduces power consumption by switching off the screen and changing the color of the power LED if the product is not used for a specified period of time. The power is not turned off in power-saving mode. To switch the screen back on, press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse. Power-savign mode only functions when the product is connected to a PC with a power-saving function.

| Power Indicator | On | Blinking | off |
| Power Consumption | S22A650D: 29 W | 0.4 W | 0.4 W |
| S24A650D: 36 W |
| S27A650D: 42 W |
| S24A850DW: 64 W |
| (Without USB: 42 W) |

- The displayed power consumption level can vary in different operating conditions or when settings are changed.
- To reduce the power consumption to 0 watts, turn off the power switch on the back of the product or disconnect the power cable. Be sure to disconnect the power cable when you will not be using the product for an extended period of time. To reduce the power consumption to 0 watts when the power switch is not available, disconnect the power cable.
9.3 Standard Signal Mode Table

This product can be set to only one resolution for each screen size to obtain the optimum picture quality due to the nature of the panel. Therefore, a resolution other than the specified resolution may degrade the picture quality. To avoid this, it is recommended that you select the optimum resolution specified for the screen size of your product.
- Check the frequency when you exchange a CDT monitor (connected to a PC) for an LCD monitor. If the LCD monitor does not support 85Hz, change the vertical frequency to 60Hz using the CDT monitor before you exchange it with the LCD monitor.
If a signal that belongs to the following standard signal modes is transmitted from your PC, the screen will automatically be adjusted. If the signal transmitted from the PC does not belong to the standard signal modes, the screen may be blank with the power LED on. In such a case, change the settings according to the following table by referring to the graphics card user manual.

The time required to scan a single line from the left to the right side of the screen is called a horizontal cycle. The reciprocal number of a horizontal cycle is called horizontal frequency. Horizontal frequency is measured in kHz.
Vertical Frequency
Repeating the same picture dozens of times per second allows you to view natural pictures. The repeat frequency is called "vertical frequency" or "refresh rate" and is indicated in Hz.

Terminology
OSD(On Screen Display)
On screen display (OSD) allows you to configure on-screen settings to optimize the picture quality as required. It allows you to change the screen brightness, tint, size and many other settings using menus displayed on the screen.
HUB
HUB refers to a device that is a common connection point for multiple devices connected over a network. It is used to connect multiple PCs, video devices, office devices and/or LANs over a single network.
Coarse
Coarse refers to the frequency of radio wave vibrations per second. A higher frequency transmits a larger amount of data and is reflected easier. A lower frequency traverses obstacles more easily and can travel farther, but it transmits a smaller amount of data. The Coarse menu allows you to manually adjust the frequency to obtain the optimum picture quality. Adjust Coarse referring to Standard Signal Mode Table (83page) according to the performance of your product and enjoy improved picture quality.
Gamma
The Gamma menu adjusts the grey scale that represents middle tones on the screen. Adjusting the brightness brightens the whole screen, but adjusting Gamma only brightens the medium brightness.
Grey scale
Scale refers to levels of color intensity that show variations of color change from darker areas to brighter areas on the screen. Changes to the screen brightness are expressed with black and white variation, and grey scale refers to the medium area between black and white. Changing the grey scale through Gamma adjustment will change the medium brightness on the screen.
Scanning rate
Scanning rate, or refresh rate, refers to the frequency of screen refreshes. Screen data is transmitted as it refreshes to display an image, although the refreshing is invisible to the naked eye. The number of screen refreshes is called scanning rate and is measured in Hz. A scanning rate of 60Hz means that the screen refreshes 60 times per second. The screen scanning rate depends on the performance of the graphics cards in your PC and monitor.
Horizontal Frequency
Characters or images displayed on the monitor screen consist of numerous dots (pixels). Pixels are transmitted in horizontal lines, which are then arranged vertically to create an image. The horizontal frequency is measured in kHz and represents how many times horizontal lines per second are transmitted and displayed on the monitor screen. A horizontal frequency of 85 means that the horizontal lines that make up an image are transmitted 85 000 times per second, and the horizontal frequency is indicated in 85kHz.
Vertical Frequency
One image is made of numerous horizontal lines. The vertical frequency is measured in Hz and represents how many images can be created per second by those horizontal lines. A vertical frequency of 60 means that an image is transmitted 60 times per second. The vertical frequency is also called "refresh rate" and affects screen flicker.
Resolution
Resolution is the number of horizontal pixels and vertical pixels that form a screen. It represents the level of display detail.
A higher resolution displays a greater amount of information on the screen and is suitable for performing multiple tasks at the same time.
E.g. A resolution of 1920 × 1080 consists of 1,920 horizontal pixels (horizontal frequency) and 1,080 vertical lines (vertical resolution).
E.g. A resolution of 1920 × 1200 consists of 1,920 horizontal pixels (horizontal frequency) and 1,200 vertical lines (vertical resolution).
Plug & Play
The Plug & Play feature allows the automatic exchange of information between a monitor and PC to produce an optimum display environment.
The monitor uses VESA DDC (international standard) to execute Plug & Play.
