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

About your monitor | 27
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 your monitor.
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.

Troubleshooting
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the
Safety instructions.
Self-test
Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check if your monitor is
functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the
monitor screen remains dark, run the monitor self-test by performing the following
steps:
1.
Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2.
Disconnect all video cables from the monitor. This way, the computer doesn’t
have to be involved.
3.
Turn on the monitor.
If the monitor is working correctly, it detects that there is no signal and one of the
following message appears. While in self-test mode, the power LED remains white.

Built-in diagnostics
Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if any screen
abnormality you experience is an inherent problem with your monitor, or with your
computer and video card.
NOTE: You can run the built-in diagnostics only when the video cable is
unplugged and the monitor is in self-test mode.

To run the built-in diagnostics:
1.
Ensure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the screen).
2.
Unplug the video cable(s) from the back of the computer or monitor. The
monitor then goes into the self-test mode.
3.
Press and hold button 1 for 5 seconds. A gray screen appears.
4.
Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.
5.
Press button 1 on the front panel again. The color of the screen changes to red.
6.
Inspect the display for any abnormalities.
7.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 to inspect the display in green, blue, black, white and text
screens.
The test is complete when the text screen appears. To exit, press button 1 again.
If you do not detect any screen abnormalities upon using the built-in diagnostic tool,
the monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card and computer.
