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 the

electrical outlet.

CAUTION: Read and follow the Safety instructions before cleaning the monitor.

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 anti-static
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 get scratched 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.
