[. . . ] Remove all electronic devices such as radios, fans, clocks and telephones that are within 3 feet (one meter) of the monitor. Check List Q&A ! Self-Test Feature Check ! A monitor recreates visual signals received from the PC. Therefore, if there is trouble with the PC or the video card, this can cause the monitor to become blank, have poor coloring, noise, Video mode not supported, etc. In this case, first check the source of the problem, and then contact a service center or your dealer. Judging the monitor's working condition If there is no image on the screen or an "Video mode not supported" message comes up, disconnect the cable from the computer while the monitor is still powered on. " If there is a message coming up on the screen or if the screen goes white, this means the monitor is in working condition. " In this case, check the computer for trouble.

Note: Design and specifications are subject to change without prior notice. General PowerSaver Preset Timing Modes This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves energy by switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it has not been used for a certain amount of time. The monitor automatically returns to normal operation when you move the computer's mouse or press a key on the keyboard. For energy conservation, turn your monitor OFF when it is not needed, or when leaving it unattended for long periods. The PowerSaver system operates with a VESA DPMS compliant video card installed in your computer. Use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature. Power saving mode EPA / ENERGY 2000 Green Blinking Less than 3W State Power Indicator Power Consumption Normal Operation Green Less than 45W Power off Black Less than 1W (110 Vac) This monitor is EPA ENERGY STAR ® compliant and ENERGY2000 compliant when used with a computer equipped with VESA DPMS functionality. As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SAMSUNG has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency. If the signal transferred from the computer is the same as the following Preset Timing Modes, the screen will be adjusted automatically.
