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 the computer detects input from keyboard, mouse, or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature:

VESA Modes Horizontal Sync

Normal operation Active

Active-Off mode Inactive Switch Off

The OSD will only function in the normal operation mode. When any button is pressed in Active-off mode, one of the following messages will be displayed:

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. For more information about changing the monitor settings, see Operating the Monitor

a few seconds to resume normal functionality.

LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy

During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state which are hard to see and do not affect the display quality or usability. For more information on Dell Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy, see Dell Support site at: www.dell.com/support/monitors

Maintenance Guideliness

Cleaning Your Monitor

WARNING: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning the monitor. WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from the electrical outlet.

For

best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:

To clean your antistatic screen, lightly 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 lightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the monitor. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the monitor. If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth. Handle your monitor with care as a darker-colored monitor may scratch and show white scuff marks more than a lighter-colored monitor. To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and turn off your monitor when not in use.

WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the Safety Instructions.

To connect your monitor to the computer:

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

2. Connect the white DVI-D (digital) or the blue VGA (analog ) or the black DP(DisplayPort)/mDP/HDMI cable to the corresponding video port on the

back of your computer. Do not use the three cables on the same computer. Use all the cables only when they are connected to three different computers with appropriate video systems.

NOTE: Do not connect the blue VGA, the white DVI, or the black DisplayPort/HDMI cables to the computer at the same time. NOTE: If a tablet or DVD/Blu -Ray player is connected, the maximum output resolution may be limited to 1920 x 1080. In this case,

please switch the video setting of the monitor OSD to 1:1 setting if the original tablet resolution is desired (Black bars may be inherent at the sides of the screen in this case).
