The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the screen.

HP watermark and image retention policy

The IPS monitor models are designed with IPS (In-Plane Switching) display technology which provides ultrawide viewing angles and advanced image quality. IPS monitors are suitable for a wide variety of advanced image quality applications. This panel technology, however, is not suitable for applications that exhibit static, stationary, or fixed images for long periods of time without the use of screen savers. These types of applications may include camera surveillance, video games, marketing logos, and templates that are displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time. Static images may cause image retention damage that could look like stains or watermarks on the monitor's screen.

Software and utilities

The optical disc, if one is included with the monitor, contains files that you can install on the computer. If you do not have an optical drive, you can download the files from http://www.hp.com/support .

● .Inf (Information) file

● .Icm (Image Color Matching) files (one for each calibrated color space)

The Setup Information file

The .inf file defines monitor resources used by Windows operating systems to ensure monitor compatibility with the computer’s graphics adapter.

This monitor is Windows Plug and Play–compatible, and the monitor will work correctly without installing the .inf file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s graphic card is VESA DDC2– compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does not work through separate BNC-type connectors or through distribution buffers/boxes.

The Image Color Matching file

The .icm files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent color matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. This file is activated from within graphics programs that support this feature.

NOTE: The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC) Profile

Format specification.

Installing the .inf and .icm files

After you determine that you need to update, you can install the .inf and .icm files from the optical disc, if one is included, or download them.

4 Maintaining the monitor

Maintenance guidelines

To enhance the performance and extend the life of the monitor:

● Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If the monitor is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact an authorized HP dealer, reseller, or service provider.

● Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the label/back plate of the monitor.

● Be sure the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the cord does not exceed the rating of the cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (AMPS or A) for each device.

● Install the monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.

● Turn the monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of the monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.

NOTE: Monitors with a “burned-in image” are not covered under the HP warranty.

● Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.

● Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.

● Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.

● Keep the monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat or moisture.

Cleaning the monitor

1.

Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

2.

Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft, clean antistatic cloth.

3.

For more difficult cleaning situations, use a 50/50 mix of water and Isopropyl alcohol.

IMPORTANT: Spray the cleaner onto a cloth and use the damp cloth to gently wipe the screen surface. Never spray the cleaner directly on the screen surface. It may run behind the bezel and damage the electronics.

IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaners that contain any petroleum-based materials such as benzene, thinner, or any volatile substance to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals may damage the monitor.

Shipping the monitor

Keep the original packing box in a storage area. You may need it later if you move or ship the monitor.

Entering user modes

The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset if:

● You are not using a standard graphics adapter.

● You are not using a preset mode.

It this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor screen by using the on-screen display.

Your changes can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The monitor automatically stores the new setting, and then recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the factory preset modes, there are at least 10 user modes that can be entered and stored.

24 Appendix A Technical specifications

Energy saver feature

The monitor supports a reduced power state. The reduced power state will be entered into if the monitor detects the absence of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal. Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned off, and the power light turns amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the monitor will utilize 0.5 watts of power. There is a brief warm-up period before the monitor will return to its normal operating state.

Refer to the computer manual for instructions on setting the energy saver mode (sometimes called power management feature).

NOTE: The above power saver feature only works when the monitor is connected to a computer that has energy saver features.

By selecting the settings in the monitor's Sleep Timer utility, you can also program the monitor to enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's Sleep Timer utility causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.
