System Hibernation ­ Provides for the lowest level of power consumption. The system writes the state of the system and peripheral devices to the hard disk and turns off the system power.

LCD (Video) Standby ­ Turns off the LCD to save power. If you turn off the Video Standby timer in the AC Power-Profile Editor, the display remains active except when the system enters System Suspend mode.
