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 dierent settings if desired. For more information about changing the monitor settings, see Operating the Monitor.

Maintenance Guidelines

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
o with a cloth.
Handle your monitor with care as dark-colored monitors may scratch
and show white scu marks more than light-colored monitors.
To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a
dynamically changing screen saver and turn o your monitor when not in use.

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 aect the display quality or usability. For more information on Dell Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy, see Dell Support site at: http://www.dell.
com/support/monitors.
