Monitor Specifications

The following sections give you information about the various power management modes and pin assignments for various connectors for your monitor.

Power Management Modes

If you have VESA's DPMS compliance display card or software installed in your computer, the monitor automatically reduces its power consumption when not in use. This is referred to as Power Save Mode. If input from 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:

VESA Modes	Horizontal Sync	Vertical Sync	Video	Power Indicator	Power Consumption
Normal operation (with max luminance, Dell Soundbar and USB active)	Active	Active	Active	Blue	132 W (Maximum)
Normal operation	Active	Active	Active	Blue	75 W (Typical)
Active-off mode	Inactive	Inactive	Blanked	Amber	Less than 1 W
Switch off	-	-	-	Off	Less than 1 W

Activate the computer and wake up the monitor to gain access to the OSD.

NOTE: This monitor is TCO' 03 power management compatible.
NOTE: Zero power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the power cable from the monitor.

Plug and Play Capability

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 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.

LCD monitor Quality and Pixel Policy

During the LCD Monitor 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 Dell Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy, see Dell Support site at: support.dell.com.

Maintenance Guidelines

Caring for Your Monitor

WARNING: Read and follow the Safety Instructions before cleaning the monitor.

WARNING: 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 plastics. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the plastics.
• Handle your monitor with care as dark-colored monitors may scratch and show white scuff marks more than lighter-colored monitors.

Troubleshooting Your Monitor

Self-Test Feature Check (STFC)

Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor screen remains dark, run the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:

1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. To ensure proper Self-Test operation, remove both Digital (white connector) and the Analog (blue connector) cables from the back of computer.
3. Turn on the monitor.

The floating dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black background) if the monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly. While in self-test mode, the power LED remains blue. Also, depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs shown below will continuously scroll through the screen.

No VGA Cable Del U2410

No DVI-D1 Cable Dell U2410

No DVI-D2 Cable Dell U2410

No HDMI Cable Dell U2410

No DisplayPort Cable Dell U2410

1. This box also appears during normal system operation if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.
2. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor.

If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer system, because your monitor is functioning properly.

NOTE: Self-test feature check is not available for Composite, and Component video modes.

Built-in Diagnostics

Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if the screen abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with your monitor, or with your computer and video card.

NOTE: You can run the built-in diagnostics only when the video cable is unplugged and the monitor is in self-test mode.

To run the built-in diagnostics:

1. Ensure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the screen).
2. Unplug the video cable(s) from the back of the computer or monitor. The monitor then goes into the self-test mode.
3. Press and hold the first and fourth buttons on the front panel, simultaneously for 2 seconds. A gray screen appears.

Camera control panel with labeled buttons and indicators for display settings

1. Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.
2. Press the fourth button on the front panel again. The color of the screen changes to red.
3. Inspect the display for any abnormalities.
4. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to inspect the display in green, blue, and white colored screens.

The test is complete when the white screen appears. To exit, press the fourth button again.

If you do not detect any screen abnormalities upon using the built-in diagnostic tool, the monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card and computer.
