About your monitor
Power management modes
If you have VESA's DPM compliance display card or software installed in your PC,
the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use.
This is referred to as Power Save Mode*. If the computer detects input from
the 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.
* Zero power consumption in off mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the
power cable from the monitor.

more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state which are hard to see and do
not affect the display quality or usability. For more information on Dell Monitor
