PLUG AND PLAY
 
Plug & Play DDC 2B Feature 
 
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC 2B capabilities according to the 
VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its 
identity and, depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional 
information about its display capabilities. 
The DDC 2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The 
host can request EDID information over the DDC 2B channel. 
 
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS 
NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE 
PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. 
 
This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video 
Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and The Swedish Confederation 
Employees (NUTEK). This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy 
by reducing power consumption when there is no video-input signal present. 
When there is no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, 
will automatically switch to an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal 
power supply consumption. After the video input signal is restored, full power 
is restored and the display is automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar 
to a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is completely off. The display is 
restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.
