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.
