Using the Monitor

This chapter contains information about using the
monitor.

Turning the Monitor On and Off

Use the Power button on the front panel to turn
the monitor on and off. When the monitor is on,
the Power button is illuminated. The light is blue
when the monitor and PC are active and
yellow/amber when the monitor is in one of its
reduced power modes.

Power button

The monitor’s power-management features reduce
power consumption to low levels when your PC
has been inactive for a specified period of time.
See “Minimizing Energy Use” on page 15 for
more information.

OSD buttons

HP Pavilion MX703/M703 Monitor Guide

12

Because of the monitor’s power-management
features, you don’t normally need to turn off the
monitor when it’s not in use. When turned off, the
monitor uses the same amount of power that it
uses in Sleep mode (less than 4 watts).

If your PC doesn’t support DPMS power­management, you can reduce power
consumption by turning off the monitor when it
won’t be used for an extended period. You can
turn the monitor off even if you leave the PC
running.

Warning:

power from the monitor, you must
remove the power cord from the
AC power outlet or surge protector.

To completely disconnect

Degaussing the Display

Degaussing removes magnetism that causes
unwanted color variations. Degauss the display
any time you notice unusual color variations.

Note:

There are two degaussing methods. Each time
you turn on the monitor, it is automatically
degaussed. You can also use the Degauss option
in the On Screen Display (OSD) Main Menu
window to degauss the display.

See “Using the OSD Main Menu window” on
page 18 for instructions.

Do not degauss more frequently than once every
30 minutes, or the degauss will be incomplete. It is
not necessary to degauss unless you have moved
the monitor.

HP Pavilion MX703/M703 Monitor Guide

Setting the Screen Resolution

To set the screen resolution

The screen resolution determines the amount
of information shown in the display. Screen
resolution refers to the number of dots, or pixels,
used to make up an image. A low screen
resolution means that the display uses a relatively
small number of relatively large dots. A higher
resolution means that more dots of a smaller
size make up the image. With higher screen
resolutions, icons, windows, and text are smaller
on the screen, but more information can be
displayed.

The monitor supports many common screen
resolutions. The suggested resolution is
1024 x 768 (dots x lines) at a refresh rate
of 85 Hz.

Use the Display Properties in the Windows
Control Panel to set the screen resolution. To
select the screen refresh rate, see “To select the
screen refresh rate” on page 15.

1 Right-click an empty part of the desktop.
2 Click Properties. The Display Properties

window opens.

3 Click the Settings tab.
4 Adjust the screen resolution.
5 Click Apply.
6 Click OK.

HP Pavilion MX703/M703 Monitor Guide

14

Selecting Refresh Rate

To minimize eyestrain and maximize the
performance of your monitor, use the highest
possible image refresh rate or vertical frequency
for which you don’t perceive flicker (generally
at or above 75 Hz for most users). The image
refresh rate is the number of times per second
that the image is refreshed. The “Pre-Set Video
Modes” table shows the image refresh rates
supported by the monitors at different screen
resolutions. The suggested refresh rate is 85 Hz
with a resolution of 1024 x 768 (dots x lines).

Use the Display Properties in the Windows
Control Panel to select the refresh rate. To set the
screen resolution, see “To set the screen
resolution” on page 14.

To select the screen refresh rate

1 Right-click an empty part of the desktop.
2 Click Properties. The Display Properties

window opens.

3 Click the Settings tab.
4 Click the Advanced button.
5 Click the Monitor tab.
6 Under Monitor settings, click the drop-down

arrow and select a refresh rate from the
available values.

7 Click Apply.
8 Click OK.

Minimizing Energy Use

HP Pavilion PCs support VESA Display
Power Management Signaling (DPMS). Power­management features reduce the monitor’s
power consumption after a period of keyboard
inactivity.

HP Pavilion MX703/M703 Monitor Guide

15

The monitor supports three different power-saving
modes — Standby, Suspend, and Sleep. See
“DPMS Power-Management Features” on
page 34 for a description of the characteristics
of each mode.

When the monitor is in one of its power-saving
modes, the screen is blanked out and the front
panel power indicator is yellow/amber. Consult
your PC user’s guide for information about setting
the power-saving modes.

Cleaning the Screen

To clean the screen:

1 Turn off and unplug the monitor.
2 Spray a soft cotton cloth with regular

household glass cleaner, and then gently wipe
the screen.

Warning:

containing fluoride, acids, or alkalis.
Never use hard or abrasive cleaning
products to clean the screen.

Don’t use cleaning solutions

3 Dry the screen with a soft cotton cloth.
4 Plug in the monitor and turn it on.

Adjusting the Viewing Angle

The monitor’s pedestal mounting enables you to
adjust the viewing angle. You can tilt and swivel
the monitor to find the most comfortable viewing
position.

color so that it more closely matches the ambient
lighting conditions. You make these adjustments
by individually setting red, green, and blue (RGB)
values.

DPMS Power-Management
Features

To maximize screen life, take advantage of your
PC’s power-management system to control your
monitor.

■

The monitor can recognize power-management
signals from VESA Display Power
Management Signaling (DPMS) video
adapters, such as those in HP Pavilion and
many other PCs. When the monitor receives an
appropriate signal, it reduces its power but
remains ready for quick use. The power light
on the front panel turns yellow/amber when
the monitor is in a power-saving mode.

■

VESA DPMS video adapters reduce monitor
power consumption by setting the horizontal
and/or vertical synchronization signals to
inactive. The monitor recovers quickly when
the synchronization signals are reapplied.

■

Standby and Suspend modes offer low power
consumption with rapid recovery, while Sleep
mode offers the lowest power consumption
and a somewhat slower recovery.

The following table shows the characteristics
of the normal operating mode and the three
power-saving modes.
