Universal Serial Bus (USB)

This section gives you information about the USB ports available on your monitor.

NOTE: Up to 2 A on USB downstream port (port with battery icon) with BC

1.2 compliance devices; up to 0.9 A on the other 3 USB downstream ports.

Your computer has the following USB ports:

• 1 upstream - bottom

• 4 downstream - 2 at left side, 2 at bottom

Power Charging Port - the one on the left side (Port with battery icon); supports fast current charging capability if the device is BC 1.2 compatible.

NOTE: The monitor’s USB ports work only when the monitor is on or in the power save mode. If you turn off the monitor and then turn it on, the attached peripherals may take a few seconds to resume normal functionality.

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 .

NOTE: If you are using the monitor with a non-Dell computer, you need to go the graphics driver website or your computer manufacturer website for information on rotating the ’contents’ on your display.

To adjust the Rotation Display Settings:

1 Right-click on the desktop and click Properties.

2 Select the Settings tab and click Advanced.

3 If you have an ATI graphics card, select the Rotation tab and set the preferred

rotation.

4 If you have an nVidia graphics card, click the nVidia tab, in the left-hand column

select NVRotate, and then select the preferred rotation.

5 If you have an Intel ® graphics card, select the Intel graphics tab, click Graphic

Troubleshooting

WARNING: 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. To ensure proper Self-Test

operation, remove all digital and the analog cables from the back of 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 dialogs shown below will continuously scroll through the screen.

or

48 | Troubleshooting

or

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.

Troubleshooting | 49

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 Make sure 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 Button 1 for 5 seconds. A gray screen appears.

4 Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.

5 Press Button 1 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, and text

screens.

The test is complete when the text screen appears. To exit, press Button 1 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.

Maintenance Guidelines

Cleaning Your Monitor

WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from

the electrical outlet.

CAUTION: Read and follow the

Safety Instructions before cleaning the monitor.

For best practices, follow these instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:

• To clean your anti-static screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the anti-static coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.

• Use a lightly-dampened, soft 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 a darker-colored monitor may get scratched and show white scuff marks more than a lighter- colored monitor.

• 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.
