4.6 DPMS mode

About DPMS mode

Enabling the Display Power Management System (DPMS) mode on your display will optimize its diagnostic lifetime by automatically switching off the backlight when the display is not used for a specified period of time. By default, DPMS mode is enabled on your display, but it also needs to be activated on your workstation. To do this, go to the “Power options” of your workstation.

Tip: Barco recommends setting DPMS activation after 20 minutes of non-usage.
Tip: When DPMS mode is enabled, an additional power saving function becomes available: hibernate. See “Hibernate” for more information.
To enable/disable DPMS mode on your display:
  1. Bring up the OSD main menu.
  2. Navigate to the Configuration > Power Management menu.
  3. Enter the DPMS Mode submenu.
  4. Select Enabled/Disabled as desired and confirm.
