Dell monitors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dell sells LCD-based and CRT-based computer monitors. Dell bundles monitors with its lower-end desktop computers and with higher-end computers as package deals, as well as selling them separately through their online store. They also sell televisions, which can function as monitors, and monitors from other manufactures, such as NEC and Viewsonic.

[edit] LCD monitors

Many of the Dell monitors have been reviewed by hardware reviewers in their own right without a being bundled with a PC. When the 2405FPW 24" screen was launched it received a lot of press attention for being much cheaper than comparable models from Apple and Samsung. [1][2]

[edit] Service menu

Dell provides consumer access to a hidden service menu providing more advanced information and settings, such as the full model number, monitor chip-set, total time used and advanced color options. This menu can be accessed as follows:

  1. Powering off your screen
  2. Holding down MENU and + buttons while powering it on
  3. Release those buttons and enter the MENU
  4. Select FACTORY RESET
  5. Scroll down to FACTORY


For 2007 models, you do not need to enter the menu once it is powered on, simply press the - button.

[edit] Connectors

Dell has used a number of monitor connector designs over the years:
