Lcd Monitor Quality & Pixel Policy; Maintenance Guidelines - Dell E2416HM User Manual

LCD Monitor Quality & Pixel Policy
During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more
pixels to become fi ed in an unchanging state. The visible result is a fi ed pixel that
appears as an extremely tiny dark or bright discolored spot. When the pixel remains
permanently lit, it is known as a "bright dot." When the pixel remains black, it is known
as a "dark dot."
In almost every case, these fixed pixels are hard to see and do not detract from display
quality or usability. A display with 1 to 5 fixed pixels is considered normal and within
competitive standards. For more information, see Dell Support site at:

Maintenance Guidelines

Caring for Your Monitor
CAUTION: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning the
monitor.
CAUTION: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power
cable from the electrical outlet.
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or
handling your monitor:
• To clean your antistatic screen, slightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If
possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the antistatic
coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed
air.
• Use a slightly dampened, warm cloth to clean the plastics. Avoid using detergent of
any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the plastics.
• If you notice a white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a
cloth. This white powder occurs during the shipping of the monitor.
• Handle your monitor with care as a darker-colored monitor may scratch 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 power off your monitor when not in use.
