Power Management Modes
If you have VESA's DPM™ compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the
monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. This is
referred to as Power Save Mode*. If the computer detects input from the 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.

automatically provides the computer system 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 desired. For more information about changing the monitor
settings, see

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: http://www.dell.com/support/monitors.
Maintenance Guidelines
Cleaning Your Monitor
CAUTION: Read and follow the Safety Instructions before cleaning the monitor.
WARNING: 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 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.
