Monitor Specifications  
The following sections give you information about the various power management modes and pin assignments for the various connectors of your monitor.   
Power Management Modes  
If you have VESAs DPM 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 the computer detects input from 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:   
The OSD will only function in the  normal operation  mode. When any  button except power button is pressed in Active - off mode, the following messages will be displayed: 
 
 
Activate the computer and monitor to gain access to the  OSD .  
* Zero power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the main cable from the monitor.  
** Maximum power consumption with max luminance and contrast.

							   Plug and Play Capability  
You can install the monitor in any Plug and Play compatible system. The monitor automatically provides the computer with its Extended Display Identification Data 
(EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so that 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.When the pixel remains permanently lit, it is known as a  “ bright dot. ”   When the pixel remains black, it is 
known as a  “ dark dot. ”  
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.  
Maintenance Guidelines    
Caring for Your Monitor    
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:  
l To 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.   
l Use 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.    
l If 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.   
l Handle your monitor with care as a darker - colored monitor may scratch and show white scuff marks more than a lighter - colored monitor.    
l To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and power off your monitor when not in use.
