S2440L 24 '' Dell monitor

Hello

I recently bought the S2440L Dell 24 "monitor and the text looks awful.  The text is thin and pixelated.  It is the worst-looking text I've seen on a screen in recent years.

I am wpmdering how I should adjust the monitor settings to improve the display of the text?

Thank you

Hi jediem,

You can run a self-test by following the steps below and see if there is a problem with the monitor:

  • Turning off the computer and the monitor.
  • Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. In order to ensure the proper functioning of the Self Test, remove the analog (blue connector) cable to the back of the computer.
  • Turn on the monitor.
  • The floating dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black background) if the monitor cannot detect a video signal and is working correctly. In self-test mode, the power led remains white. In addition, depending on the selected entry, the following dialog box scrolls continuously through the screen.

  • This box appears during normal operation if the video cable is disconnected or damaged.
  • Turn off the monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on the computer and the monitor.

If the monitor screen remains blank after that customers use the previous procedure, check the video controller and the computer, because the monitor is operating properly.

You can also perform a monitor factory reset and see if it helps:

  1. Press any key to launch the OSD menu and press on to display the main menu.
  2. Press up and down keys to switch between the options in the Menu. When you move one icon to another, the name of the option is highlighted.
  3. Go to "other settings".
  4. Select 'Factory reset '.
  5. Check if it works.

Please share the findings.

  • Samsung and Dell monitor questions

    Hello:
    I had a given PC new and works fine, but when I hooked up with monitor with Samsung, a floating message popping up in the middle of the screen... "Not optimum mode, recommended 1280 x 1024 60 Hz Mode" and the screen empties a few minutes later. When I tested with another monitor with Dell, there are no floating message and gets a good quality screen that shows the Dell monitor is compatible not compatible Samsung to PC refurbished.

    Monitor Samsung was hooked with two different PC KVM switch, and no problem with them.

    Is there a way for me to do the given PC replacement compatible with monitors, "Dell" and "Samsung"?

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    "" floating"message popping up in the middle of the screen"

    "Not optimum mode, recommended 1280 x 1024 60 Hz Mode '"

    Your Samsung monitor is a type of format of 4:3 image, that's why she asked '1280 x 1024 60 Hz '.

    Your video card is NOT defined for it. How to change the settings:

    See above with the Dell connected monitor. Set it to 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz, and then connect the Samsung monitor and see what happens...

  • Differences between S2440L and S2440LB monitors

    Hello, I'm about to buy a monitor S2440LB and I could not find any reviews on this subject on the web, but I've found a few on the S2440L and I liked what I saw. I want to know if there are differences between the two, or if it is the same model, but only for the different areas or something like that. I want to know if the S2400LB has deep blacks and flat colors just like the S2400L, in this case I'll buy it. Thanks in advance for your time!

    They are the same. You can see on the page of follow-up here, there is only a single S2440L. The 'B' is a notation of Dell from the factory.

  • Dell monitor does not stay on

    * original title - my monitor does not work *.

    OK so I bought this computer about 4 years ago and it worked just fine until when I tried to turn it on this morning it does not turn on. Then I tried again and it was the case, then half an hour later he died. After that, I tried to put it on the back again but this time, when I press the button it lights but when I let go of it, it turns off the coast. I tried unpluging but it does the same thing.

    The computer does not work

    Also I umpluged computer from the monitor and the same thing happened

    Help, please

    Hi Uther 9,.

    If the monitor does not remain during the self test, it is defective.

    * Turn off the monitor
    * Remove all cables from the computer monitor
    * Turn on the monitor
    * The floating red/green/blue/white dialog box should appear on-screen on a black background and stay on

    However, it seems that you already have, is most likely a hardware problem:

  • Dell monitor U2715H Power saving mode by turning on PC

    Hi, I had a constant, frustrating problem with my Dell U2715H monitor. I connect it to my PC using CDM, and absolutely 100% whenever I turn on my pc, it goes into power saving mode. The only way to get my computer is to force power off of my PC now the power button and then turning it back on. This recovers no mode 'sleep', but an engine out of State. I tried to turn on/off the screen first, wait a minute then turn the PC. I tried to use the usb mouse and keyboard only to the back of the computer and not on the monitor ports. I tried all of the solutions presented to me in the troubleshooting of energy saving guide, but I am completely off options and frustrated. I don't want to force shutdown my PC every day just to get the monitor to work.

    Please help with the troubleshooting methods that I could take to solve this problem.

    I really love this monitor otherwise and won't have to return it.

    WOW! I just talked to a dell technician who accompanied me through the question. Apparently, the problem is known and has been placed on the record. The workaround is desperately single.

    To resolve this problem, click the first button on your screen, then press the second button to access the "input select" menu of the monitor. Then, place the cursor on the entry that you use (for me it was the CDM) and hold the button of checkmark for 10 seconds. A dialog appears asking you to turn on/off 1.2 DP. Once you enable it, the Monitor refreshes and the issue is history.

    I guess that the monitor has some secrets, I don't know... Hope this helps someone out there with this problem.

  • Warranty end date Dell monitor

    Hello

    I work for a company who directs Dell products in bulk (several hundreds). Asked me to know the dates of end of warranty for all monitors. I have no way to make at the present time, because the monitors have no service tags, serial numbers only.

    How can I get to determine the guarantee for all monitors end dates of these?

    Thank you!

    There is no easy way to do it. Each monitor has a 20-digit serial number and at least 3 years warranty.

    Example = CZ0-F525M-73608-021-341 L
    The 021 is the date code.
    0 = 2010
    2 = February
    1 = 1

    If the three-year warranty ended February 1, 2013.

    You need to save all and determine the date.

    You should use DVI to HDMI which will make the video, but will not have audio.  There is no possibility for a ULTRA-COMPACT HDMI because it has no slots. There is NO display ports any on a 755 ultra-compact.
