'Exit' leaves this submenu without resetting any values.

'All Settings' returns your monitor settings to those that were set at the time of manufacture. This includes 'Color', 'Position', 'Clock frequency', 'Phase', 'Brightness', 'Contrast' and 'OSD hold time'.

DDC/CI (Display Data Channel/Command Interface) allows you to adjust the monitor parameters (brightness, color, balance, etc.) via software applications on your PC.

You can disable this feature by selecting "Disable".

For best user experience and optimum performance of your monitor, keep this feature enabled.

NOTE: There is no Undo when you use the 'Reset function'. To return to the previous function settings, you must adjust the functions again. 'Reset' will set the clock and phase back to factory settings, activating auto adjust may be required and this will optimize the image for your system.

OSD Warning Messages

A warning message may appear on the screen indicating that the monitor is out of sync.

This means that the monitor cannot synchronize with the signal that it is receiving from the computer. Either the signal is too high or too low for the monitor to use. See Specifications for the Horizontal and Vertical frequency ranges addressable by this monitor. Recommended mode is 1280 X 1024 @ 60Hz.

NOTE: The floating 'Dell - self-test Feature Check' dialog will appear on-screen if the monitor cannot sense a video signal.

Occasionally, no warning message appears, but the screen is blank. This could also indicate that the monitor is not synchronizing with the computer.

See Troubleshooting for more information.
