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.

About your monitor |    27

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.

Troubleshooting
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow
the Safety instructions.

Self-test

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.

No DP Cable

The display will go into Standby Mode in 4 minutes.

abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with your monitor, or with your
computer and video card.
