When the display is powered on, a status message is displayed for ve seconds. The message shows which
input is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source setting (On or O; factory default is
On), the default source signal (factory default is DisplayPort), the current preset display resolution, and the
recommended preset display resolution.
The display automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the display. If two
or more inputs are active, the display will indicate the default input source. If the default source is not one of

Software and utilities
The disc that comes with the display contains les you can install on the computer.
● an .INF (Information) le
● ICM (Image Color Matching) les (one for each calibrated color space)
● USB Software Development Kit (SDK) for Linux, Windows, and Mac
● sample StudioCal XML scripts
NOTE: The items listed above can be downloaded from the HP display support Web site. For more
information, go to Downloading from the Internet on page 18.
The information le
The .INF le denes display resources used by Microsoft Windows® operating systems to ensure display
compatibility with the computer’s graphics adapter.
This display is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play-compatible. It works correctly without installing the .INF le.
Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s graphic card is VESA DDC2-compliant and that the
display connects directly to the graphics card.
The image color matching les
The ICM les are data les that describe the colorimetry of the display. In the case of calibrated displays, they
describe the colorimetry of a given color preset. This information includes the preset's calibrated color gamut,
grayscale response, and white point. These les are used by the operating system's color management
engine—as well as the color management engine built into specialized photography, video, and graphic arts
applications—to ensure that colors on-screen are rendered correctly and will be displayed accurately when
viewed on the display. While not all programs support the use of these les, HP strongly recommends that
you always select or enable the ICM le matching the active color preset to ensure the best image
reproduction.
NOTE: The ICM color prole is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC) Prole
Format specication.

NOTE: The factory DCI-P3 preset has a D65 white point, a 100 cd/m² luminance and a Power 2.4 gamma.
This diers from the DCI-P3 conguration typically found in cinema projectors (P3 white point, a 48 cd/m²
luminance and a Power 2.6 gamma). This is because consultation with visual eect and animation studios
determined that the D65/100/2.4 conguration was better suited to the typical artist work environment than
the cinema projector conguration.
To select a color space preset:
1. Press any Function button on the front bezel.
2. Press the Open Menu button to open the OSD.
3. Select Color settings to display the color space conguration screen.
4. Use the Up/Down buttons to navigate to the desired color space, and then press the Select button to
activate it.
Adjusting luminance
Though each preset is calibrated to a specic luminance level, the luminance can be adjusted post-calibration.
The luminance range for all calibrated color space presets can be adjusted from 48–250 cd/m2.
NOTE: Due to the way LEDs respond to voltage, the further you adjust luminance away from the calibrated
value, the less accurate the luminance value reported by the OSD will be. As you move away from the
calibrated value, the colorimetry of the white point will shift. HP recommends that you calibrate the display to
the desired working luminance. For more information about calibration, see Display calibration on page 57.
To adjust luminance:
1. Press any Function button on the front bezel.
2. Press the Open Menu button to open the OSD.
