Safety and Maintenance  
Guidelines  
Important Safety Information  
A power cord is included with your monitor. If another cord is  
used, use only a power source and connection appropriate for this  
monitor. For information on the correct power cord set to use with  
your monitor, refer to the “Power Cord Set Requirements” section  
in Appendix C.  
ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your  
equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. This  
equipment is designed to be connected to a grounded (earthed)  
power outlet that is easily accessible to the operator. The grounding  
plug is an important safety feature.  
ÅWARNING: For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug  
the power cord into is easily accessible and located as close to the  
equipment as possible. When you need to disconnect the power to  
the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by  
grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord.  
User’s Guide

Safety and Maintenance Guidelines  
ÄCAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your  
computer, connect all power cords for your computer and its  
peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, scanner) to some form  
of surge protection device such as a power strip or Uninterruptible  
Power Supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge protection;  
the power strips must be specifically labeled as having this ability.  
Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement  
Policy so you can replace your equipment if surge protection fails.  
Maintenance Guidelines  
To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor:  
Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this  
product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered  
in the operating instructions. If your monitor is not operating  
properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your HP  
authorized 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 your 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 your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially  
increase the life expectancy of your monitor by using a screen  
saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.

specifications used by most operating systems to install  
support software for certain hardware devices. The .INF file  
ensures monitor compatibility and optimization with your  
computer’s graphics adapter. INF files are also downloadable  
by clicking on: http://www.hp.com/go/support and selecting the  
desired monitor.  
The .ICM file provides color matching consistency from  
monitor screen to printer and is activated from within  
graphics programs that have this feature.  
To install these files on your computer, insert the Software and  
Reference Library CD in your computer CD-ROM drive. When  
the CD menu launches, select Install INF and ICM Files” and

Adjusting Screen Quality  
Allow the monitor to warm up for 20 minutes before performing  
the following procedures.  
The Auto-adjustment feature automatically fine-tunes the image  
quality each time a new video mode is displayed. If additional  
image quality improvement is desired, run the Auto-Adjust  
software on the CD and press the – (Minus) button on the monitor  
front panel to manually activate the Auto-Adjustment function.  
For more precise adjustments, run the Auto-Adjust software on  
the CD, and use the Clock and Phase controls of the monitor to  
fine-tune the image.  
Optimizing Digital Conversion  
This monitor contains advanced circuitry that allows the flat  
panel screen to function like a standard monitor. Two controls in  
the on-screen display can be adjusted to improve image  
performance: Clock and Clock Phase. Use these controls only  
when the auto-adjust function does not provide a satisfactory  
image.  
The Clock must first be set correctly since the Clock Phase  
settings are dependent on the main Clock setting.  
Clock—Increase/decrease the value to minimize any vertical  
bars or stripes visible on the screen background.  
Clock Phase—Increase/decrease the value to minimize video  
distortion or video jitter.  
When using the controls, you will obtain the best results by using  
the Auto-Adjustment software.

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.  
If 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, then recognizes the  
new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the 16  
factory preset modes, there are four user modes that can be  
entered and stored.  
Energy Saver Feature  
When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the Power  
light is green.  
The monitor also supports a reduced power state. The reduced  
power state is 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  
blanks, the backlight turns off, and the Power light turns amber.  
B–4  
User’s Guide  
Technical Specifications  
When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the monitor  
utilizes less than 2 watts of power. There is a brief warm up  
period before the monitor returns to its normal operating mode.  
Refer to your computer manual for instructions on setting energy  
saver features (sometimes called power management features).  
The above energy saver feature only works when connected to  
computers that have energy saver features.  
By selecting settings in the monitor’s Energy Saver utility, you  
can also program the monitor to enter into the reduced power  
state at a predetermined time. When the monitor’s Energy Saver  
utility causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the  
power light blinks amber.

LCD Monitor Quality  
and Pixel Policy  
The TFT monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured  
according to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free  
performance. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic  
imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is  
common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by all  
vendors and is not specific to the HP LCD. These imperfections  
are caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels.  
A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue  
sub-pixel.  
A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a bright spot on  
a dark background), or it is always off (a dark spot on a bright  
background). The first is the more visible of the two.  
A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a  
defective whole pixel and is small and only visible on a  
specific background.  
The HP display does not have more than:  
3 bright dots.  
5 dark dots.  
5 total bright and dark dots.  
No more than two adjacent (less than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge)  
defective pixels.  
User’s Guide  
D–1  
LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy  
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under  
normal operating conditions, in normal operating mode at a  
supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of  
approximately 50 cm (16 in.).  
HP expects that, over time, the industry will continue to improve  
its ability to produce LCDs with fewer cosmetic imperfections  
and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.
