By letting the monitor to sleep when not in use, we can save energy and help the environment. Let us now see how we can do that? It is nothing but turning off the monitor when it is not being used.
Follow these steps:
1. Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.
2. Display Properties dialog box appears. Click the Screen Saver Tab and Click Power Button.
3. Power Options Properties dialog box appears. From the Turn off Monitor pull down, select a time to automatically turn off your monitor.
4. For a laptop/notebook computer, both Plugged in and Running on batteries must be set.
5. Click OK twice.
Now what happens is that, the monitor will be automatically put to sleep when the computer is idle for the time specified in the above setting. We can always reactivate it by moving the mouse or pressing a key.
Just try doing this to save the environment!!
