Important Safety Information
A power cord is included with the 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 the
monitor, refer to the "Connecting the Power Cord" section in
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• Disconnect power from the product by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.
For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may

ergo and/or on the documentation CD, if one is included with the monitor.
CAUTION: For the protection of the monitor, as well as the computer, connect all power cords for
the 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 the
equipment, if surge protection fails.
Use the appropriate and correctly sized furniture designed to properly support your HP LCD monitor.
WARNING! LCD monitors that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,
speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause personal injury.
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the LCD monitor so that they can not
be pulled, grabbed, or tripped over.

period occurs before the monitor returns to normal operating mode. The energy-saving reduced
power state activates if the monitor does not detect either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical
sync signal. The power-saver feature must be activated on your computer for this feature to work.
Refer to your computer documentation for instructions on setting energy-saver features (sometimes
called power-management features).
NOTE: The energy-saver feature works only when the monitor is connected to computers that have
energy-saver features.

LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy
Your LCD Monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured according to high standards, to help
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 your LCD Monitor. These imperfections are caused by one or more
defective pixels or subpixels.
A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue subpixel. 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 subpixel (dot defect) is less visible
than a defective whole pixel, and is small and only visible on a specific background.
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions and in
normal operating mode at a supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately
50 cm (16 inches). We expect that, over time, the industry will continue to improve its ability to
produce displays with fewer cosmetic imperfections, and we will adjust guidelines as improvements
are made.
For more information about your LCD Monitor and pixel policy, refer to the HP Web site at:
http://www.hp.com/support. To find pixel policy information on the HP Web site, type in "HP Pixel
Policy" in the search box and press Enter.

The following ENERGY STAR® certification mark appears on all ENERGY STAR qualified displays:
The ENERGY STAR® program specifications for displays and computers were created by the EPA to
promote energy efficiency and reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in
homes, offices, and factories. One way products achieve this goal is by using the Microsoft Windows
power management feature to reduce power consumption when the product is not in use.
The power management feature enables the computer to initiate a low-power or “sleep” mode after a
period of user inactivity. When used with an external ENERGY STAR® qualified display, this feature
also supports similar power management features for the display. To take advantage of these
potential energy savings, users should use the default power management settings that are provided
with ENERGY STAR qualified computers and displays. The default power management settings on
ENERGY STAR qualified computers are preset to behave in the following ways when the system is
operating on AC power:
Turn off an external display after 15 minutes of user inactivity
●
Initiate a low power sleep mode for the computer after 30 minutes of user inactivity
●
ENERGY STAR® qualified computers exit the low power sleep mode and ENERGY STAR qualified
displays resume operation when the user resumes use of the computer. Examples include the user
