Monitor Firmware Update Process

There are specific requirements that must be met to successfully apply a firmware update to your Dell monitor.

CAUTION:
  • Connect the USB upstream cable between the monitor and your computer. Do not use a docking station or any other device between this connection.
  • Disconnect all other video and USB cables from the monitor before updating firmware.
  • Disconnect all other monitors from the laptop or desktop. This ensures that only one display is connected while conducting firmware update.
  • Do not unplug the USB upstream cable or turn off the power during the update process.
  • Update your monitors one at a time. Do not conduct firmware update on multiple monitors at a given time.
  • Disable both the monitor and computers power save features.

When using a Desktop computer, you can have another monitor with video that is only connected to view the download instructions. DO NOT have any USB cables connected to this monitor.

The best method is to use a laptop to conduct the firmware upgrade as it has its own display to view the instructions.

  1. The monitor must be connected to a power source during the firmware update process.
  2. The USB upstream cable must be connected between the monitor and the computer you are using to install the firmware update (Figure 1).

After the Firmware process is complete, you will receive the following message towards the bottom (Figure 2): "To complete update, turn off monitor, replug power cord, turn on monitor."

Turn the monitor off, disconnect the power cable, wait 2-5 seconds, reconnect the power cable, and turn the monitor back on.

The firmware for your monitor (if available) can be found on the Dell Drivers & Downloads page.
