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.

Before you rotate the monitor, your monitor should be fully vertically extended and fully tilted up to avoid hitting the bottom edge of the monitor.
Setting Up the Monitor | 19

NOTE: To use the Display Rotation function (Landscape versus Portrait view) with your Dell computer, you require an updated graphics driver that is not included with this monitor. To download the graphics driver, go to www.dell.com/support and see the Download section for Video Drivers for latest driver updates. NOTE: When in the Portrait View Mode, you may experience performance degradation in graphic-intensive applications (3D Gaming and etc.).
Adjusting the Rotation Display Settings of Your System
After you have rotated your monitor, you need to complete the procedure below to adjust the Rotation Display Settings of your System.
NOTE: If you are using the monitor with a non-Dell computer, you need to go the graphics driver website or your computer manufacturer website for information on rotating the ‘contents’ on your display. To adjust the Rotation Display Settings: 1 Right-click on the desktop and click Properties. 2 Select the Settings tab and click Advanced. 3 If you have an AMD graphics card, select the Rotation tab and set the preferred
rotation. 4 If you have an nVidia graphics card, click the nVidia tab, in the left-hand column
select NVRotate, and then select the preferred rotation. 5 If you have an Intel® graphics card, select the Intel graphics tab, click Graphic
Properties, select the Rotation tab, and then set the preferred rotation.
NOTE: If you do not see the rotation option or it is not working correctly, go to www.dell.com/support and download the latest driver for your graphics card.
Connecting Your Monitor
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the Safety Instructions.

Troubleshooting
1. BIOS/Post screen is not observed, black screen during BIOS/Post, long period of black screen when monitor wake from standby mode:
· To speed up monitor initialization, disable monitor Sleep by OSD (Menu>Energy Settings>Monitor Sleep> Disable).
2. 8K4K resolution changed after recovery from PC standby/ Hibernate/ Reboot :
· In certain cases, graphics card may not detect the monitor properly when the monitor goes to standby mode.
· Disable monitor Sleep by OSD (Menu > Energy Settings > Monitor Sleep > Disable).
· Reboot PC. 3. Cannot achieve or image unstable
at 8k4k resolution: · Un-install the old graphics driver
(Device Manager -> Display Adaptor -> uninstall) before installing the new driver. · Ensure your graphics card is capable to support 8k4k.
· Use only the in-box DP cables for connection to your PC. Non-DP certified or low quality DP cable may degrade signal integrity/bandwidth, resulting in reduced performance.
· Connect only DP1 on the monitor to any DP port of the graphics card. Power up the monitor and PC system. After getting a stable image(eg 8k4k resolution), connect DP2 of monitor to another DP port of the same graphics card.

Troubleshooting
WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the Safety Instructions.
Self-Test
Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your 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.

4 This box also appears during normal system operation, if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.
5 Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor. If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer, because your monitor is functioning properly.

Troubleshooting | 43

Built-in Diagnostics
Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if the screen abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with your monitor, or with your computer and video card.
NOTE: You can run the built-in diagnostics only when the video cable is unplugged and the monitor is in self-test mode.
To run the built-in diagnostics: 1 Make sure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the screen). 2 Unplug the video cable(s) from the back of the computer or monitor. The monitor then goes into the self-test mode. 3 Press and hold Button 1 for 5 seconds. A gray screen appears. 4 Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities. 5 Press Button 1 on the front panel again. The color of the screen changes to red. 6 Inspect the display for any abnormalities. 7 Repeat steps 5 and 6 to inspect the display in green, blue, black, white, and text screens.
The test is complete when the text screen appears. To exit, press Button 1 again. If you do not detect any screen abnormalities upon using the built-in diagnostic tool, the monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card and computer.

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. · Do not use cleaning fluid or paste anything on the monitor screen. Lightly wipe the screen with a dry and clean microfiber cloth.
