3 Setting up the display
To set up the display, ensure that the power is turned off to the display, computer system, and other attached devices, then follow the instructions below.
NOTE: Be sure the master power switch, located on the rear panel of the display, is in the off position. The master power switch turns off all power to the display.
Use caution when setting up the display
To prevent damage to the display, do not touch the surface of the LCD panel. Pressure on the panel may cause nonuniformity of color or disorientation of the liquid crystals. If this occurs the screen will not recover to its normal condition.
If installing a stand, lay the display facedown on a flat surface covered with a protective sheet foam or a nonabrasive cloth. This prevents the screen from getting scratched, defaced, or broken and prevents damage to the front panel buttons.
NOTE: Your display may look different from the display in this illustration.

Installing the stand
CAUTION: Do not touch the surface of the LCD panel. Pressure on the panel may cause non-uniformity of color or disorientation of the liquid crystals. If this occurs the screen will not recover to its normal condition.
TIP: Consider the placement of the display, because the bezel might cause interfering reflections from surrounding light and bright surfaces.
The display uses the HP Quick Release 2 for easy mounting of the display. To mount the panel onto the stand:
1.
Lay the display panel facedown on a flat surface covered by a clean, dry cloth.
2.
Slide the top of the mounting plate (1) on the stand under the upper lip of the recess in the back of the panel.
3.
Lower the bottom of the stand's mounting plate (2) into the recess until it snaps into place.
4.
The HP Quick Release 2 latch (3) pops up when the stand is locked in place.

You can pivot the display from landscape to portrait orientation viewing to adapt to your application.
a.
Adjust the display to full height position and tilt the display back to full tilt position (1).
b.
Pivot the display clockwise 90° or counterclockwise 90° from landscape to portrait orientation (2).
CAUTION: If the display is not in full height and full tilt position when pivoting, the bottom right corner of the display panel will come in contact with the base and potentially cause damage to the display.
If you are adding an optional speaker bar to the display, install it after pivoting the display. The speaker bar will come in contact with the base when pivoting and potentially cause damage to the display or speaker bar.
