This is a slightly used monitor which I was given and passed on to my sister as I have a mac lap top already--I'm not familiar with it so couldn't help her, when she connected it to her Dell but found that it will only put up a bouncing image "Dell self-test features" with different colored stripes without seeming to actually make contact with her computer. Wondered if she needs to download some software/driver/etc.?
The resalution is set to hight for the old monitor recaize the only way to fix it is to put hte old monitor on and change the resolution to a different size like 1080 adn then put the new monitor on and it should have fixed it. for some monitors will onluy go so high and if the res is over that hten the month will just not desplay anything but a blue screen

The orange light means that the moitor is not seeing any signal. Make sure that the cable is in the correct position on the PC. If that is correct, try it on another PC to determine whether or not the monitor was damaged internally during moving or the PC is not sending out a video signal.

Well...it's a Dell and even when it's well...it's still a Dell.
Have you tried the monitor on different system to eliminate the tower being the problem? Some have updated and/or rolled back drivers to help cure this problem, which seems to be a common issue with this LCD. Personally i think the contrast ratio is inadequate.
Good luck with your Delllll...

Ensure that the monitor cable is firmly connected to both the back of the monitor and to the video card on the PC.
