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 Dell Support site at: http://www.dell.com/

Maintenance Guidelines
Cleaning Your Monitor
WARNING: Read and follow the Safety Instructions before cleaning the
monitor.
WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable
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 monitor. Avoid using
detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the
monitor.
• If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off
with a cloth.
• Handle your monitor with care as dark-colored monitors may scratch
and show white scuff marks more than light-colored monitors.
• To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a
dynamically changing screen saver and turn Off your monitor when
not in use.

Troubleshooting
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow
the Safety Instructions.
Self-Test
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.
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 white. Also, depending upon the
selected input, one of the dialog boxes shown below will continuously scroll
through the screen.
No DP Cable
The display will go into Power Save Mode in 5 minutes.

4. This box also appears during normal system operation, if the video
cable becomes disconnected or damaged.
5. 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, because your monitor is functioning
properly.
52 Troubleshooting
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 Button 1 and Button 4 on the front panel
simultaneously for 2 seconds. A gray screen appears.
4. Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.
5. Press the Button 4 on the front panel again. The color of the screen
changes to red.
6. Inspect the display for any abnormalities.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to inspect the display in green, blue, black, white
screens.
The test is complete when the white screen appears. To exit, press the Button 4
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.
