Plug and Play Capability
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 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.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interface
This section gives you information about the USB ports that are available on the monitor.

take a few seconds to resume normal functionality.
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: support.dell.com.
Maintenance Guidelines
Cleaning Your 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 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, 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 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.
Setting Up the Monitor
Dell™ P1913/P1913S/P2213 Monitor User's Guide
Attaching the Stand
NOTE: The stand is detached when the monitor is shipped from the factory.
NOTE: This is applicable for a monitor with a stand. When any other stand is bought, please refer to the respective stand setup guide for the set up instructions.
To attach the monitor stand:
1. Remove the cover and place the monitor on it.
2. Fit the two tabs on the upper part of the stand to the groove on the back of the monitor.
3. Press the stand till it snaps into place.
Connecting Your Monitor
To connect your monitor to the computer:
1. Turn off your computer and disconnect the power cable.
Connect the blue (VGA) cable from your monitor to the computer.
NOTE: If your computer supports a white DVI connector, connect the white DVI cable to the monitor and the white DVI connector to
your computer.
NOTE: Do not connect the blue VGA or the white DVI cable to the computer at the same time.
2. Connect the white (digital DVI-D) or the blue (analog VGA) or the black (DisplayPort) display connector cable to the corresponding video port on the back of your
computer. Do not use the three cables on the same computer. Use all cables only when they are connected to three different computers with appropriate video
systems.
Connecting the white DVI cable
Connecting the blue VGA cable
Connecting the black DisplayPort cable
CAUTION: The graphics are used for the purpose of illustration only. Appearance of the computer may vary.
Connecting the USB cable
After you have completed connecting the DVI/VGA cable, follow the procedures below to connect the USB cable to the computer and complete your monitor setup:
1. Connect the upstream USB port (cable supplied) to an appropriate USB port on your computer. (See bottom view for details.)
2. Connect the USB peripherals to the downstream USB ports on the monitor.
3. Plug the power cables for your computer and monitor into a nearby outlet.
4. Turn on the monitor and the computer.
If your monitor displays an image, installation is complete. If it does not display an image, see Solving Problems.
5. Use the cable slot on the monitor stand to organize the cables.
Organizing Your Cables
After attaching all necessary cables to your monitor and computer, (See Connecting Your Monitor for cable attachment,) organize all cables as shown above.
Attaching Dell Soundbar AX510/AY511 (Optional)
CAUTION: Do not use with any device other than the Dell Soundbar.
NOTE: The Soundbar power connector (+12 V DC output) is for the optional Dell Soundbar only.
