Locating the Monitor
Place the monitor on a flat, sturdy surface.
Choose an area that is free from excessive heat,

Connecting the Power and Video
Cables
Before connecting any cables, be sure to read
the safety instructions at the beginning of this
manual. The PC and monitor must be turned off.
To connect the power and video cables:
1
Connect the power cord to the back of the
monitor.
2
Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
3
Connect the blue plug on the video cable to
the video port of your PC. If you have an
HP Pavilion PC, this port is marked in blue.
However, on some Pavilion PCs, the port could
be marked in orange. (The illustration below is
for reference only. Check your PC user’s guide
for the video port location.)

Insert the pink microphone cable plug into the
sound input connector on the back of your PC.
If you have an HP Pavilion PC, the connector is
marked in pink. However, on some
Pavilion PCs, the connection could be marked
in yellow.
Connecting the Speakers
The monitor is designed for use with the Polk
Audio speakers supplied by HP.
1
Extend the cables attached to the two
speakers.
2
Identify the left and right speakers. You can tell
which side of the monitor a speaker fits onto
by observing its curvature and mounting pegs.
Not all speakers have mounting pegs. If you
don't have mounting pegs, skip to step 5. The
side of the speaker with mounting pegs fits
flush against the side of the monitor.
3
Insert the pegs of the right speaker into the
corresponding slots on the right side of the
monitor. Push down, sliding the speaker pegs
completely into the slots.
4
Insert the pegs of the left speaker into the
corresponding slots on the left side of the
monitor. Push down, sliding the speaker pegs
completely into the slots.
5
Refer to your PC user’s guide for instructions on
how to connect your speakers to the PC.

Using the Monitor
This chapter contains information about using the
HP Pavilion MX50, MX70, or MX90 Multimedia
Monitors.
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 5 watts).
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 light near the Power button is illuminated. The
light is green when the monitor and PC are active
and yellow/amber when the monitor is in one of
its reduced power modes.
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 8
for more information.
6
HP Pavilion MX50, MX70, and MX90 Multimedia Monitors
If your PC doesn’t support DPMS power
management, 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.

Degaussing the Display
Setting the Screen Resolution
Degaussing removes magnetism that causes
unwanted color variations. Degauss the display
any time you notice unusual color variations.
Note:
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.
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 window to
degauss the display.
See “Using the OSD Main Window” on page 12
for instructions.
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.
Use the Window’s Control Panel to set the screen
resolution. The monitor supports many common
screen resolutions, as shown in the “Pre-Set Video
Modes.”

Selecting Refresh Rate
To minimize eyestrain and maximize the
performance of your display, 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 monitor supports three different power-saving
modes — Standby, Suspend, and Sleep. See
“DPMS Power Management Features” 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

consumption after a period of keyboard
