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:
E1913S:
VESA Modes Horizontal Sync Vertical Sync Video Power Indicator Power Consumption
Normal operation Active Active Active Blue 23 W (Maximum)
18 W (Typical)
Active-off mode Inactive Inactive Blank Amber Less than 0.5 W
Switch off - - - Off Less than 0.5 W
E1913:
VESA Modes Horizontal Sync Vertical Sync Video Power Indicator Power Consumption
Normal operation Active Active Active Blue 23 W (Maximum)

Normal operation Active Active Active Blue 24 W (Maximum)
19 W (Typical)
Active-off mode Inactive Inactive Blank Amber Less than 0.5 W
Switch off - - - Off Less than 0.5 W
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.
NOTE: Dell E1913S/E1913/E2213 monitor is ENERGY STAR®-

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". Wh en 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
CAUTION: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning the monitor.
CAUTION: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from the electrical outlet.
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:
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.
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.
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.
Handle your monitor with care as a darker-colored monitor may scratch 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 power off your monitor when not in use.
