meet the requirements of Energy Star.
Energy Star is an energy saving program for consumer electronics led by the U.S.
government.It was launched in 1992 by EPA and DOE to reduce energy consumption
and greenhouse gas emissions. Energy Star logo is a symbol of energy conservation and
environmental protection. It improves the concept of energy efciency of consumers and
manufacturers, and effectively guides the market.
The regulation of Energy Star improves energy efciency and reduces air pollution by
using more energy-efcient equipment in homes, ofces and factories. One way to achieve
this goal is to use management to reduce energy consumption when products are not in use.
The default settings for monitors conform to Energy Star certication. Any changes by
users for more features and functionalities may increase power consumption, which will
exceed the limitation of Energy Star’s standard. If the user changes the options related to
energy efciency when using, such as brightness, color mode, etc., select All Reset Factory
or choose the Energy Star option, the power consumption will be restored to the energy
efciency with Energy Star standard.

institutions and consumers
