Power Management Modes
If you have VESA's DPM-compliant video card or software installed in your PC, the display 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 display automatically resumes functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power saving feature.
| VESA Modes | Horizontal Sync | Vertical Sync | Video | Power Indicator Power Consumption | |
| Normal operation | Active Active | Active White | 450 | W (maximum)** | 212.8 W (typical) |
| Active-off mode | Inactive Inactive | Off White | (Glowing) | Less than 0.5 W | |
| Switch off | - | - | - | Off | Less than 0.5 W |
The OSD operates only in the normal operation mode. If you press any button in the active-off mode, the following message is displayed:

Plug-and-Play
You can install the display in any Plug-and-Play-compatible system. The display 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 display settings. Most display installations are automatic; you can select different settings if desired. For more information about changing the display settings, see Operating the Display.
LCD Display Quality and Pixel Policy
During the LCD display 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 LCD Display Pixel Policy, see Dell support site at: http://www.dell.com/support/monitors.

Maintenance Guidelines
Cleaning Your Display

WARNING: Before cleaning the display, unplug the display power cable from the electrical outlet.

CAUTION: Read and follow the Safety Instructions before cleaning the display.
For best practices, follow these instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your display:
- 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, soft cloth to clean the display. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the display.
• If you notice white powder when you unpack your display, wipe it off with a cloth. - Handle your display with care as a darker-colored display may get scratched and show white scuff marks more than a lighter-colored display.
- To help maintain the best image quality on your display, use a dynamically changing screen saver and turn off your display when not in use.
