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
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
