Safety instructions

CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than

those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock,

electrical hazards, and/or mechanical hazards.

• Place the monitor on a solid surface and handle it carefully. The screen is

fragile and can be damaged if dropped or hit sharply.

• Always be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC

power available in your location.

• Keep the monitor in room temperature. Excessive cold or hot conditions can

have an adverse effect on the liquid crystal of the display.

• Do not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. For

example, do not place the monitor inside a car trunk.

• Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period

of time.

• To avoid electric shock, do not attempt to remove any cover or touch the

inside of the monitor.

• Optimize eye comfort with a flicker-free screen and ComfortView feature

which minimizes blue light emission.

WARNING: The possible long-term effects of blue light emission from

the monitor may cause damage to the eyes, including eye fatigue,

digital eye strain, and so on. ComfortView feature is designed to reduce

the amount of blue light emitted from the monitor to optimize eye

comfort.

*1 ms is achievable in the MPRT mode to reduce visible motion blur and increased

image responsiveness. However, this may introduce some slight and noticeable

visual artifacts into the image. As every system setup and every gamer's needs are

different, we recommend that users experiment with the different modes to find

the setting that is right for them.

Plug and Play capability

You can connect the monitor to 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 that the system 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 Dell Monitor Quality

and Pixel Policy, see

www.dell.com/pixelguidelines

Ergonomics

CAUTION: Improper or prolonged usage of keyboard may result in

injury.

CAUTION: Viewing the monitor screen for extended periods of time

may result in eye strain.

For comfort and efficiency, observe the following guidelines when setting up and

using your computer workstation:

• Position your computer so that the monitor and keyboard are directly in front

of you as you work. Special shelves are commercially available to help you

correctly position your keyboard.

• To reduce the risk of eye strain and neck/arm/back/shoulder pain from using

the monitor for long periods of time, we suggest you to:

1. Set the distance of the screen between 20 to 28 in. (50 - 70 cm) from your

eyes.

2. Blink frequently to moisten your eyes or wet your eyes with water after

prolonged usage of the monitor.

3. Take regular and frequent breaks for 20 minutes every two hours.

4. Look away from your monitor and gaze at a distant object at 20 feet away

for at least 20 seconds during the breaks.

5. Perform stretches to relieve tension in the neck, arm, back, and shoulders

during the breaks.

• Make sure that the monitor screen is at eye level or slightly lower when you

are sitting in front of the monitor.
