Color temperature:
Color temperature is a measure of the 'warmth' of the image colors (red/green/blue). The available range is between 5000 to 9300K. There are three available presets (9300K, 6500K (sRGB) and 5000K). Select each one to see how each range suits your eye.... or utilize the 'User Preset' option to customize the color settings to your exact preference.
9300K Preset is selected to obtain a bluish tint.
6500K (sRGB) Preset : The term sRGB stands for "standardised Red, Green and Blue" color space. The need for the development of an RGB standard has been based on the increasing use of monitors and other RGB devices to display images, for example in web pages. Using sRGB color space means that any calibrated monitor in a system which can accept sRGB should then display the image with the same color balance as the original file, ensuring consistency of presentation. When selecting "sRGB", the brightness and contrast controls will be automatically adjusted to a preset condition.
5000K Preset is selected to obtain a redder tint.
User Preset: Use the plus and minus buttons to gradually increase or decrease the color temperature from 5000K to 9300K.
Language:

H & V Moiré Adjust:
Corrects an on-screen Video moiré pattern caused by interference between a well-focused electron beam and the color phosphor dots on the front of the screen.
The - / + buttons adjust the amount of "beam wobble" to clear the moiré pattern.

OSD V Position:

A warning message may appear on the screen indicating that the monitor is out of sync. This warning message will display on the screen:
This means that the monitor cannot synchronize with the signal that it is receiving from the computer. Either the signal is too high or too low for the monitor to use. See Power Management Modes for the Horizontal and Vertical scan ranges addressable by this monitor.
NOTE: The floating Dell Self Test Feature Check dialog appears on-screen if the monitor cannot sense a video signal.
While the monitor setting to the Power Saving Mode, if you press the menu button, below message may display for 20 seconds indicating that your monitor sets to the Saving mode.
Occasionally, no warning message appears, but the screen is blank. This could also indicate that the monitor is not synchronizing with the computer.
When the monitor is in the sRGB mode, Brightness/Contrast adjustment is not available. When a key for Brightness or Contrast is pressed, the following message will appear indicating that the monitor is in the sRGB mode:
The power indicator LED glows a steady green while you are actively using your computer system, or it blinks according to the table below. A blinking indicator LED indicates the monitor is using one of the reduced power modes supported by your computer system.
