General Information
Display modes
The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer.
Therefore, refer to your computer documentation for details on how to change display modes.
The image size, position and shape might change when the display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using AUTO SETUP and the monitor controls.
Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker, TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer for 1600 ×1200 address ability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.
For the display modes listed on the next page, the screen image has been optimized during manufacture.

To optimize image quality,
you may want to run AUTO
Setup after switching
between modes shown in this
section. AUTO SETUP can fix the
problems in most cases. See Auto
Setup for DOS on page 13 for
details.

Power Management

If your computer has
previously been used with a
CRT monitor and is currently
configured to a display mode
outside the range that the Flat Panel monitor can display, you may need to re-attach the CRT monitor temporarily until you have re-configured the computer, preferably to 1600 x 1200 at 60Hz.
To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used in conjunction with a computer that implements the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) Standard.
The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period. There are several states as described in the table below.
As an ENERGY STAR ^® Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR ^® guidelines for energy efficiency.
For optimal performance, switch off your monitor at the end of each working day, or whenever you expect to leave it unused for long periods during the day.
| State | Power Indicator | Screen | Restoring Operation | Compliance |
| On | Steady green Normal | |||
| Power saving | Amber Blank | Press a key or move the mouse. * | ENERGY STAR® |

Symbol of a trash bin crossed out by two diagonal lines (no text or numbers present)Notice: This mark applies only to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway.
This appliance is labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
In accordance with the European WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is to be collected separately and to be reused, recycled, or recovered at end of life. Users of EEE with the WEEE marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive, as shown above, must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return, recycling, and recovery of WEEE. Customer participation is important to minimize any potential effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances in EEE. For proper collection and treatment, contact your local IBM representative.
