Minimizing Eye Strain

To avoid screen flicker and minimize eye strain, use the highest
supported image refresh rate for the chosen resolution. It is
recommended that you use a refresh rate of 85 Hz. The image refresh
rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed.

Minimizing Energy Consumption

If your computer supports VESA monitor power management
(available on many HP computers), you can minimize the power
consumed by the monitor. There are two power saving modes:

Suspend mode1 (uses less than 3W). In this mode, the monitor's

•

front panel indicator light is amber.
Active off mode2 (uses less than 3W). In this mode, the monitor's

•

front panel indicator light is amber.

To set these power saving modes, refer to the manual that came with
your computer. If your screen is not displaying an image, check the
front panel indicator light first as your monitor may be in a power
saving mode.

Supported Video Modes

Your monitor comes with the standard modes shown in the table
below. It also supports intermediate video modes. With the
intermediate modes, the displayed image may need to be optimized
by accessing the OSD using the buttons on the front panel. All modes
are non-interlaced.

FACTORY PRESET MODES:

Resolution Refresh Rate/Hz

640 x 400 70

800 x 600 75, 85

1024 x 768 75, 85

1280 x 1024 60, 75

The recommended mode for your HP Monitor is 1024 x 768, at
85 Hz.

1. Suspend mode is activated when vertical sync is cut by the video controller.

2. Active off mode is activated when both vertical and horizontal sync are cut by the video
controller.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Refer to this section, before contacting technical support.

Moiré

Moiré is a type of natural interference which produces soft or wavy
lines on your screen. It may appear due to interference between the
regulated pattern of the picture from the input signal and the
phosphor pitch pattern of the CRT. Refer to “H-Moire” or “V-Moire”
on page 12.

Self-Test Feature Check (STFC)

Your monitor provides a self test feature that allows you to check
whether your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and
computer are properly connected but the monitor screen remains
dark and the power indicator is blinking, run the monitor self-test by
performing the following steps:

Turn off both your computer and the monitor.

1

Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.

2

Turn on the monitor.

3

If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a blue box with
a red border and inside as shown in the following illustration:

The three boxes inside the border are red, green and blue. Failure
of any of the boxes to appear indicates a problem with your
monitor. This box also appears during normal operation if the
video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.

18 EnglishEnglish

HP 17” Color Monitor User’s Guide

Troubleshooting

Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on

4

both your computer and the monitor.

If your monitor screen remains blank after using the previous
procedure, check your video controller and computer system;
your monitor is functioning properly.

Warm-up Time

All monitors need time to become thermally stable the first time you
turn them on each day. Therefore, to achieve more accurate
adjustments for parameters, allow the monitor to warm (be on) for at
least 30 minutes before making any screen adjustments.

Care and Cleaning

Care and Cleaning

Do not place anything on top of the monitor. Doing so may block the
monitor vents and cause damage to the monitor due to overheating.
Do not let liquid get on or into the monitor. To maximize screen life
and prevent damage to the picture tube (such as burned phosphor
due to leaving the same image on the screen for a long time), it is
recommended that you:

Use the monitor power management system (on HP computers) or

•

a screen saver program.
Avoid setting contrast and brightness to their maximum levels for

•

prolonged periods.
If you do not have a power management system or a screen saver

•

program, switch the monitor off or reduce the brightness and
contrast to minimum levels when the monitor is not in use.

Your monitor has an anti-glare, anti-static screen coating. To prevent
damage to the monitor screen's coating, use a regular household
glass cleaner when cleaning the screen. To clean the screen:

Switch the monitor off and remove the power plug (pull the plug,

1

not the cable).

Wet a soft cotton cloth with the cleaning solution and gently wipe

2

the screen. Do not spray cleaner onto the screen because the
cleaner may drip inside the monitor.

Dry with a clean, soft cotton cloth. Do not use cleaning solutions

3

containing fluoride, acids, or alkalis.

Environmental Information

HP has a strong commitment toward the environment. Your HP
monitor has been designed to respect the environment as much as
possible.

HP can also take back your old monitor for recycling when it reaches
the end of its useful life. In fact, HP has a product take-back program
in several countries. The collected equipment is sent to one of HP's

TCO 99

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product!
Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your
purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to
the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for

encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main
problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that
environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their
manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of
electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later
enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels,
that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural
(external) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative
effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive
waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running
continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for

international and environmental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme
was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of
Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for
Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy
Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics,
usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical
and fire safety.

The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy
metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated
solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the
manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in
each country where the company implements its operational policy.

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a
certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one
or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for
the user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of
the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good
usability.

product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental requirements
Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and

housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30%
of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most
flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are
chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame
retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to
severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and
mammals, due to the bio-accumulative
in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may
occur.

The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25
grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine.
Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are
available.

Cadmium
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of

certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high
doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating
layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain
any cadmium.

Mercury
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous

system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that
batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in
any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labelled unit.

CFCs (freons)
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used

during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes
used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage
the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet
light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

Lead
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead

damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant
TCO´99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been
developed.
