If you have VESA's DPMS compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor automatically reduces its power consumption when not in use.

This is referred to as Power Save Mode. If input from keyboard, mouse or other input devices is detected by the computer, the monitor automatically resumes

functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power-saving feature:

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 required.

LCD Monitor Quality & Pixel Policy

During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state. The visible result is a fixed

pixel that appears as an extremely tiny dark or bright discolored spot.

In almost every case, these fixed pixels are hard to see and do not detract from display quality or usability. A display with 1 to 5 fixed pixels is considered

normalandwithincompetitivestandards.Formoreinformation,seeDellSupportsiteat:support.dell.com.

Caring for your Monitor

lTo clean your antistatic screen, slightly 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.

lUse a slightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the plastics. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the plastics.

lIf you notice a white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth. This white powder occurs during the shipping of the monitor.

lHandle your monitor with care as darker-colored plastics may scratch and show white scuff marks more than lighter-colored monitor.

lTo help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and power off your monitor when not in use.
