TEC

How can zero-power consumption in OFF mode be achieved?

Zero-power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the main cable from the monitor.

When will the following messages be displayed?

Activate the computer and monitor to gain access to the OSD. There is no signal coming from your computer. Press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse to wake it up. If there is no display, press the monitor button now to select the correct input source on the On-Screen-Display menu.

The OSD will only function in the normal operation mode. When any button except power button is pressed in Active-off mode, the following messages will be displayed.

What is Dell’s LCD Monitor Quality & Pixel Policy?

During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state. The visible result is a fixed pixel that appears as an extremely tiny dark or bright discolored spot. When the pixel remains permanently lit, it is known as a “bright dot.” When the pixel remains black, it is known as a “dark dot.” In almost every case, these fixed pixels are hard to see and do not detract from display quality or usability. A display with 1 to 5 fixed pixels is considered normal and within competitive standards. For more information, see Dell Support site at: http://www.dell.com/support/monitors.

What are the maintenance guidelines for caring for my monitor?

• To clean your antistatic screen, slightly 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.
