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.

The OSD operates only in the normal operation mode. If you press any button in the

active-off mode, one of the following message is displayed:

*Zero power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting

the AC mains cable from the monitor.

**Maximum power consumption with maximum luminance.

*** Energy consumption (On Mode) is tested at 230 Volts / 50 Hz.

About Your Monitor | 19

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.

20 | Setting Up the Monitor

Setting Up the Monitor

Attaching the Stand

any other stand, see the documentation shipped with the stand to set it up.

CAUTION: Place monitor on a flat, clean, and soft surface to avoid scratching the

display panel.

Connect the stand riser to stand base.

1 Attach the stand riser to the stand base.

2 Tighten the thumbscrew below the stand base.

To attach the monitor stand:

1 Remove the monitor protective cover and place the moitor with its front facing

downward on it.

2 Insert the two tabs on the upper part of the stand to the groove on the back of

the monitor.

3 Press the stand down till it snaps into its place.
