14 | About your monitor
Plug-and-play
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 computer can configure itself and
optimize the monitor settings. Most monitor installations are automatic; you can select
different settings, if necessary. For more information about changing the monitor settings,
see Operating the monitor.
LCD monitor quality and pixel policy
During the LCD monitor manufacturing process, it is normal 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 about LCD Monitor Pixel Policy, see Dell support
site at: www.dell.com/support/monitors.
