20 | About your monitor
Plug-and-Play
You can install the monitor in any Plug-and-Play-compatible system. The monitor
automatically provides the computer system with its extended display identification
data (EDID) using display data channel (DDC) protocols so the computer 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 Operating the monitor.
LCD monitor quality and pixel policy
During the LCD monitor manufacturing process, it is common for one or more pixels
to become fixed in an unchanging state.This is hard to notice and will not affect the
display quality or usability. For more information on LCD Monitor Pixel Policy, see:
https://www.dell.com/pixelguidelines.
