HP watermark and image retention policy

The IPS display models are designed with IPS (In-Plane Switching) display technology which provides ultrawide viewing angles and advanced image quality. IPS displays 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 display's screen.

Displays in use for 24 hours per day that result in image retention damage are not covered under the HP warranty. To avoid image retention damage, always turn off the display when it is not in use or use the power management setting, if supported on your system, to turn off the display when the system is idle.

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 AC 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: A burned-in image on the monitor is 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.

● When removing the monitor stand, you must position the monitor facedown on a soft area to prevent it from getting scratched, defaced, or broken.

Cleaning the monitor

1.

Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord from the back of the unit.

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.

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 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 works only 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.
