FACTORY PRESET TIMING TABLE DISPLAY MODES The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore, you should refer to your computer documentation for details in how to change display modes. The image size, position and shape may change when the display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using the monitor controls. Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker, TFT technology is inherently flicker-free.
Power Management ® As an ENERGY STAR Partner, IBM has determined that this product meets the ® ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. 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. IBM recommends that you 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.
