Use a Dell monitor's built-in test to investigate an image defect

A supported monitor self-test can help separate the display's own behavior from the computer's video output. Follow the procedure for the exact monitor model.

Quick answer

A supported monitor self-test can help separate the display's own behavior from the computer's video output. Follow the procedure for the exact monitor model.

Understand the issue

Record whether the defect appears in applications, the monitor menu and its diagnostic screens. Model-specific button sequences differ, so do not use an unrelated guide. A successful test narrows the investigation but does not prove every cable, port or intermittent condition is healthy.

Step-by-step checks

  1. Find the monitor model and its Dell diagnostic instructions.
  2. Run the documented built-in test safely.
  3. Photograph the defect and note which test screens show it.

Frequently asked questions

Does a clean diagnostic screen rule out all intermittent display faults?

No. Record when the original issue returns and under what connection conditions.

What should I record before requesting help?

Record the full model, exact error or symptom, recent changes and what you already tried. Explain whether important files have a separate backup.
