source device is displayed in inset windows.
The PBP (Picture by Picture) function separates the screen in half displaying output
from two different source devices simultaneously on the left and right sides of the
screen.
――Compatible with Windows7 and Windows8.

The power-saving function of this product reduces power consumption by switching off the screen and changing the color of the power LED if the product is not used
for a specified period of time. The power is not turned off in power-saving mode. To switch the screen back on, press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse. Power-
saving mode only functions when the product is connected to a PC with a power-saving function.
Power Consumption 30.6 W (Energy Star Test Condition) Less than 0.5 W Less than 0.3 W
――The displayed power consumption level can vary in different operating conditions or when settings are changed.
――ENERGY STAR® is a US registered mark of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Energy Star power is measured with the test method in the current Energy Star® Standard.
――SOG(Sync On Green) is not supported.
――To reduce the power consumption to 0, disconnect the power cord. Disconnect the power cable if you will not be using the product for an extended period of time (during
vacation, etc.)
