About your monitor  
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; Up to 3 A on USB-C downstream port (port with  
icon) with 5 V/3 A compliance devices.  
Your monitor has the following USB ports:  
2 upstream - at rear.  
5 downstream - 2 at bottom, 3 at rear.  
Power Charging Port - the ports with  
battery icon supports fast current  
charging capability if the device is BC 1.2 compatible. The USB-C downstream  
port with  
icon supports fast current charging capability if the device is 5V/3A  
compatible.  
NOTE: The monitor’s USB ports work only when the monitor is on or in  
Standby Mode. On in Standby Mode, if the USB cable (A to C or C to C) is  
plugged in, the USB ports can work normally. Otherwise, follow the OSD  
setting of Other USB Charging, if the setting is “On in Standby Mode”  
then USB work normally, otherwise USB is disabled. 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  
the guidelines at: https://www.dell.com/pixelguidelines.

Maintenance guidelines  
Damage to monitor through incorrect cleaning methods  
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.  
Improper cleaning methods can result in physical damage to Dell monitors. Physical  
defects may affect the screen and body of the monitor.  
Follow the instructions in the list below when cleaning the monitor:  
To clean the Dell monitor screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water.  
If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the Dell  
monitor screen.  
CAUTION: Do not use detergents of any kind or other chemicals such as  
benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or compressed air.  
Do not directly spray the cleaning solution or even water on the surface of the  
monitor. Directly spraying liquid onto the panel will roll down to the bottom of the  
panel and corrode the electronics resulting in permanent damage. Instead, apply  
solution or water to soft cloth material.  
NOTE: Using cleaner may cause changes in the appearance of the monitor,  
such as color fading, milky film on the monitor, deformation, uneven dark  
shade, and screen surface peeling.  
NOTE: Monitor damages due to improper cleaning methods and the use  
of benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, alcohol, compressed air,  
detergent of any kind will lead to a Customer Induced Damage (CID). CID  
is not covered under the standard Dell warranty.
