Da da u BIOSu mi je DPMS, sto je inace default a i to sam ostavio jer po opisu preostalih opcija ovo mi je zvucalo "najzdravije". Mogu probat s tim eksperimentirat ako mislite da bi moglo pomoci. Preostale opcije su Blank Screen, to bi trebalo koristiti za monitore koji ne podrzavaju power managment ili "green" features..sto god to da znacilo..a treca opcija je V/H SYNC+Blank, ta opcija spja prethodnu + ugasi vertikalno i horizontalno skeniranje... sto god da TO znacilo
sad idem malo progoglat te opcije pa cu vidjet sta se jos moze saznat..

Edit: Evo malo saznanja o monitoru prvo sto se tice power managmenta: Power Management Regulation: WESA DPMS / EPA / NUTEK / Energy 2000

What is DPMS:
Display Power Management System (DPMS)

Because of the tremendous amount of energy consumed by monitors when operating, a couple of initiatives have been started to work on reducing power consumption (and energy use) of monitors during idle periods. The US's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began a program called Energy Star to certify PCs and monitors that meet reduced energy use guidelines. These are sometimes called "Green PCs".

Most modern monitors are compliant with VESA's Display Power Management System protocol, also called DPMS. DPMS is used to selectively shut down parts of the monitor's circuitry after a period of inactivity. With a motherboard and monitor that support DPMS, power consumption can be greatly reduced. Motherboards that support DPMS often have a BIOS setting to enable it.

The operating system or application software you are using must normally also be set to activate DPMS after a defined idle period. Many monitors have two low-power settings; stand-by mode uses less power than the normal operational state, and then an even lower suspend or "shut down" mode turns the monitor off completely to save even more power. The system monitors the PC for activity and after the determined time, sends the appropriate signal to the monitor. When activity is detected again the monitor is "woken up" by the system.

One problem with DPMS is that if used improperly (such as telling the system to shut down after 1 minute of idle time) it can result in a lot of wear and tear on the monitor's internal components, reducing monitor life. Make sure to look at this section on maintenance for more on the pros and cons of power management. Even if you aren't using DPMS, at the very least no monitor should be left on for hours at a time if not in use, and especially not unattended overnight.


Hmm, naso sam jos ovo sta bi moglo biti korisno:

* /H SYNC + Blank: In addition to Blank screen, BIOS will also turn off the V-SYNC & H-SYNC signals from VGA cards to monitor.
* DPMS: Select this option if your monitor supports the Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard of the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). Use the software supplied for your video subsystem to select video power management values.
Note: Green monitors detect the V/H SYNC signals to turn off it's electron gun.

* It is important to realize that the CRT consumes the most power (several hundred watts) of any system. To really save energy, we must shut it down when not in use. Green monitors (also known as Energy Star monitors) assist us by reducing power usage by 90% without actually turing off the CRT. Enable this as follows:
o To make a green monitor function properly you MUST use Video Off Method = V/H Sync, because this tell the Green Monitor to shut down. If you incorrectly use the "Blank Screen" setting then you will just get a blank screen which still consumes 100% power.
o If you have a screensaver running, then you obviously won't have CPU inactivity, and the standard BIOS options will not shut the CRT down ever. So, turn OFF your screensaver in the WINDOWS (not BIOS) control panel. Yes your old monochrome CRT needed a screensaver, but your VGA tube does not. In fact, an idle green CRT is even better than a screensaver. Think how many kilowatt-hours, nay megawatt-hours, we could save if we all enabled these options at home and in the office.
