<p>The device has a display unit (9) operable to be switched between a normal operating state and an energy-saving state with reduced energy consumption. A signal input (3) provides a connection to a computer (2). An energy-saving state controller (8) includes a monitoring unit (11) for determining whether image signals applied to the signal input satisfy predetermined criteria during a predetermined time. The energy-saving state controller is operable to switch the device to the energy-saving state in response to the monitoring unit. An independent claim is also included for a method for controlling a visual display device operable to be switched between a normal operating state and an energy-saving state.</p> |
