If you have VESA's
DPMS 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 input from a keyboard, mouse or other input devices is
detected by the computer, the monitor will automatically "wake up".
The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic
power-saving feature:

NOTE:This
monitor is ENERGY STAR®-compliant.
NOTE:
Zero power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the
main cable from the monitor.
Analog RGB, 0.7 Volts +/- 5%, positive polarity
at 75 ohm input impedance
Digital DVI-D TMDS, 600mV for each differential line, positive polarity at
50 ohm input impedance
HDMI, 600mV for each differential line,
100 ohm input impedance per differential pair

Separate horizontal and vertical synchronizations, polarity-free TTL level, SOG (Composite SYNC on green)
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 that the
system can configure itself and optimize the monitor settings. If required, the
user can select different settings, but in most cases monitor installation is
automatic.
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. When
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.
CAUTION:Read and follow the Safety Instructions before
cleaning the monitor.
CAUTION:Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor
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,
lightly 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 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 a white powder
when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.
Handle your monitor with
care as dark-colored monitors may scratch and show white scuff marks
more than lighter-colored monitors.
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.
