Packard Bell A727

Packard Bell A727 ... automatically adapts to the vertical and horizontal frequencies of VGA, SVGA, 8514/A and compatible graphics adapters. The monitor's design allows you to use it with a variety of graphics adapters and supports DDC1/2B plug and play. When using Windows with a Packard Bell DDC1/2B compatible computer, the DDC1/2B feature in the monitor provides a standard means of communication between the monitor and the computer. As a result, DDC1/2B prevents the user from making incorrect display settings to ensure that there is an appropriate display on the monitor.

When used with a Packard Bell computer that features a power management system, the PC will automatically reduce the monitor's power consumption when the computer has not been used for a period of time. This monitor has a three level power saving feature indicated by the changing color of the power LED on the front panel. When the power saving feature is initiated, the LED will change from green to amber and the monitor's power consumption will be reduced from approximately 110 watts to less than 8 watts. There will be no image on the monitor when power management is working. To display the image again, move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard. It may take up to 3 seconds for the image to reappear. This power saving feature exceeds the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star requirements for Display Power Management Signals.
