Power Management Modes

If you have VESA's DPM™ compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. This is referred to as 'Power Save Mode'*. If input from keyboard, mouse, or other input devices is detected by the computer, the monitor automatically resumes functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature:

VESA Modes	Horizontal Sync	Vertical Sync	Video	Power Indicator	Power Consumption
Normal operation (with Dell Soundbar and USB active)	Active	Active	Active	Green	75	W (maximum)
Normal operation	Active	Active	Active	Green	35	W (typical)
Active-off mode	Inactive	Inactive	Blanked	Amber	Less than 2 W
Switch off	-	-	-	Off	Less than 1 W

NOTE: The OSD will only function in the 'normal operation' mode. One of the following messages will appear when the “menu” or “plus” buttons are pressed when in Active-off mode.

This monitor is ENERGY STAR®-compliant as well as TCO '99 / TCO '03 power management compatible.

* Zero power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the main cable from the monitor.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interface

This monitor supports High-Speed Certified USB 2.0 interface.

Data Rate Power Consumption

High speed	480 Mbps	2.5W (Max., each port)
Full speed	12 Mbps	2.5W (Max., each port)
Low speed	1.5 Mbps	2.5W (Max., each port)
USB ports:
1 upstream - rear

4 downstream - 2 on rear; 2 on left side

NOTE: USB 2.0 capability requires 2.0-capable computer.

Plug and Play Capability

You can install the monitor in any Plug and Play-compatible system. The monitor automatically provides the computer system with its Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the system can configure itself and optimize the monitor settings. Most monitor installations are automatic; you can select different settings, if desired.

Cleaning Your Monitor

CAUTION: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning the monitor.

CAUTION: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from the electrical outlet.

To clean your antistatic screen, slightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.

Use a slightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the plastics. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the plastics.

If you notice a white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth. This white powder occurs during the shipping of the monitor.

Handle your monitor with care as darker-colored plastics may scratch and show white scuff marks more than lighter-colored monitor.

To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and power off your monitor when not in use.

Using the Dell Soundbar (Optional)

Connecting Your Monitor

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions.

1.Turn off your computer and disconnect the power cable.

2.Connect either the white DVI or the blue VGA cables to the connectors on the computer and the monitor.

3.Connect the USB cable that was included with your monitor to the computer and the upstream USB connector on the monitor. Once this cable is connected to the computer and the monitor, you can use the USB connectors on the monitor.

4.Connect any USB devices.

5.Connect the power cables.

6.Turn on your monitor and computer. If you do not see an image, push the input select button and ensure the correct input source is selected. If you still do not see an image, see Troubleshooting your monitor.

Using the Front Panel

Use the buttons on the front of the monitor to adjust the image settings.

Use the Input Select button to select between two different video signals that may be connected to your monitor.

If both VGA and DVI cables are connected to one PC, this monitor will display an image automatically just as long as a video signal is present in either VGA or DVI outputs. When connecting one display to two PCs, if using screen savers, best to set both to the exact times. Whichever mouse is moved first will activate that video input first.

Video input select

NOTE: The floating 'Dell Self-test Feature Check' dialog appears on a black background if the monitor cannot sense a video signal. Using the input select button, select the desired input to be tested either Analog Input or Digital Input. Disconnect the video cable from the video card and the Dell Self-test Feature Check dialogue box will appear if the display is operating correctly.

The Menu button is used to open and exit the on-screen display (OSD), and exit from menus and sub-menus. See Using the OSD Menu.

OSD menu / select

Use these buttons to adjust (decrease/increase ranges) items in the OSD menu.

Auto Adjust In Progress

Auto Adjust

Auto Adjustment button allows the monitor to self-adjust to the incoming video signal. After using Auto Adjustment, you can further tune your monitor by using the Pixel Clock (Coarse), Phase (Fine) controls in the OSD.

NOTE: Auto Adjust does not occur if you press the button while there are no active video input signals or attached cables.

Use the power button to turn the monitor on and off.

The green light indicates the monitor is on and fully functional. An amber light indicates power save mode.

Power Button and Indicator

Using the OSD Menu

NOTE: If you change the settings and then either proceed to another menu, or exit the OSD menu, the monitor automatically saves those changes. The changes are also saved if you change the settings and then wait for the OSD menu to disappear.
