10 | About Your Monitor
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.
Maintenance Guidelines
Cleaning Your Monitor
WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from

For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning
or handling your monitor:
To clean your anti-static 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.

cloth.
Handle your monitor with care as a darker-colored monitor may get scratched
∞
and show white scuff marks more than a lighter-colored monitor.
