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 VESA's 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

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:
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adarker-colored monitor may scratch and show white scuff marks more than a 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.
