Colour monitor 463V FA Energy Star Guidelines The Fujitsu Siemens LCD colour monitor 463V FA is designed to conserve electricity by dropping to less than 3 W when it goes into standby, suspend and OFF mode. With this new power management the 463V FA qualifies for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star Computers award. The EPA estimates that computer equipment uses 5 percent of all business electricity and that this is growing rapidly.

Colour monitor 463V FA Permanently unlit or lit pixels The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II). Example: a 17" or 18" flat-screen monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 has 1280 x 1024 = 1310720 pixels.
