DPM (Display Power Management)

Display Power Management (DPM) is a technology that helps reduce energy consumption by controlling the power used by a computer's display. When your monitor is inactive, DPM can turn off or dim the screen to save electricity, and then quickly restore it when you return. This not only conserves energy but also extends the lifespan of the display. DPM is often configured in settings or managed automatically by the operating system to balance energy savings with convenience, ensuring your screen is only fully active when you need it.
