Power Management Modes  
If you have VESA’s DPM™ compliance display card or software installed in your PC,  
the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. This  
is referred to as Power Save Mode. If the computer detects input from keyboard,  
mouse, or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes functioning. The  
following table shows the power consumption and signaling of Power Save Mode:

NOTE: USB 2.0 functionality requires a USB 2.0-capable computer.  
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 computer. The  
monitor automatically provides its Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) to the  
computer 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.  
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. These 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.com/support/monitors.
