Power Management Modes

If you have VESA’s DPM-compliant video 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 the computer detects input from the keyboard,

mouse, or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes functioning. The

following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power

saving feature.

16 | 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 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 Monitor Pixel Policy, see

Dell support site at: http://www.dell.com/support/monitors.
