Important safety information
An AC power adapter and cord may be 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
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• Disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.
• If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on the power cord, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-pin
outlet. Do not disable the power cord grounding pin, for example, by attaching a 2-pin adapter. The grounding
pin is an important safety feature.
For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may
accidentally step on or trip over them.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes proper workstation setup,
and proper posture, health, and work habits for computer users. The Safety & Comfort Guide also provides
important electrical and mechanical safety information. The Safety & Comfort Guide is available on the Web
at http://www.hp.com/ergo.
Product Notices provided on the optical disc or in your documentation kit.
IMPORTANT: 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 specically labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip whose
manufacturer oers 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 cannot be pulled,
grabbed, or tripped over.
Be sure that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the AC outlet does not exceed the current
rating of the outlet, and that 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 the monitor near an AC outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the plug
rmly and pulling it from the AC outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.
Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
NOTE: This product is suitable for entertainment purposes. Consider placing the monitor in a controlled
luminous environment to avoid interference from surrounding light and bright surfaces that may cause
disturbing reections from the screen.

–
Smoothness is achieved by synchronizing display refresh rates to the GPU in your GeForce GTXpowered desktop or notebook, eliminating screen tearing and minimizing display stutter and input
lag
–
Scenes appear instantly, objects look sharper, and game play is super smooth, giving you a
stunning visual experience and a serious competitive edge
●
NVIDIA Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) technology is an additional mode featured in G-SYNC monitors that
decreases motion blur and minimizes ghosting introduced when on-screen elements are rapidly moving.
With ULMB, objects in motion look smoother than they do during standard operation. ULMB is only
available through a DisplayPort input.
●
NVIDIA 3D Vision® technology delivers stereoscopic 3D images for gamers, movie-lovers and photo
enthusiasts when congured with NVIDIA GPUs, NVIDIA 3D Vision active shutter glasses, and 3D VisionReady display/projector. Only NVIDIA 3D Vision supports the richest array of 3D content available - more
than 600 3D games, Blu-ray 3D movies, 3D photos and streaming 3D videos.
●
Enhanced monitor overclocking provides a higher refresh rate that delivers less blur on moving objects
and reduces input latency.
