•Always be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.

•Keep the monitor in room temperature. Excessive cold or hot conditions can have an adverse effect on the liquid crystal of the display.

•Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. For example, do not place the monitor inside a car trunk.

•Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.

•To avoid electric shock, do not attempt to remove any cover or touch the inside of the monitor.

For information on safety instructions, see the Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information (SERI) document.

•Dell Premium Panel Exchange for peace of mind.

•Optimize eye comfort with a flicker-free screen and ComfortView feature which minimizes blue light emission.

WARNING: The possible long-term effects of blue-light emission from the monitor may cause damage to the eyes, including eye fatigue, digital eye strain, and so on. The ComfortView feature is designed to reduce the amount of blue-light emitted from the monitor to optimize eye comfort.

* 1 ms is achievable in the MPRT mode and reduces visible motion blur and increases image responsiveness. However, this may introduce some slight and noticeable visual artifacts into the image. As every system setup and every gamer’s needs are different, we recommend that users experiment with the different modes to find the setting that is right for them.
