Universal Serial Bus (USB)
This section gives you information about the USB ports available on your monitor.
NOTE: Up to 2A on USB downstream port (port with battery icon)
with BC 1.2 compliance devices; up to 0.9A on the other USB downstream
ports; Up to 3A on USB-C downstream port (port with icon) with 5V /
3A compliance devices.
Your monitor has the following USB ports:
• 2 upstream - at rear.
• 6 downstream - 4 at rear, 2 at quick access.
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.

30 | About Your Monitor
Plug and Play capability
You can connect the monitor to 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 that 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 Dell Monitor Quality and Pixel
Policy, see https://www.dell.com/pixelguidelines

Maintenance guidelines
Cleaning your monitor
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.
WARNING: Do not directly spray the cleaning solution or even water
directly on the surface of the monitor. Doing so will allow liquids to
accumulate at the bottom of the display panel and corrode the electronics
resulting in permanent damage. Instead, apply the cleaning solution or
water to a soft cloth and then clean the monitor.
CAUTION: Using chemicals for cleaning 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.
• 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.
