UP2718Q Color Calibration Factory Report
Every Dell UP2718Q is shipped incorporating pre-tuned
sRGB and AdobeRGB with average DeltaE<2. Color
and Luminance Uniformity is adjusted across the screen
to meet DeltaE<2 and 97-102% respectively. This helps
prevent significant color inconsistency or inaccuracy. In
addition, a tighter grey-scale tracking helps enable ultra-
smooth color gradation.
Be assured of Accurate, Precise and Consistent
Onscreen Color with every Dell Ultrasharp UP2718Q.

If you have VESA’s DPM-compliant video 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 the keyboard,
mouse, or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes functioning. The
following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power
saving feature.

20 | About Your Monitor
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
Dell support site at: http://www.dell.com/support/monitors.

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.
For best practices, follow these 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, soft 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.
