Turning on the monitor

1. Press the power button on the source device to turn it on.
2. Press the capacitive power button on the lower right front of the monitor to turn it on.
NOTE: When the power button is pressed, the other capacitive button icons light up briefly.
CAUTION: Burn-in image damage may occur on monitors that display the same static image on-
screen for 12 or more consecutive hours of non-use. To avoid burn-in image damage on the monitor screen, you should always activate a screen saver application or turn off the monitor when it is not in use for a prolonged period of time. Image retention is a condition that may occur on all LCD screens. Monitors with a “burned-in image” are not covered under the HP warranty.
NOTE: If pressing the power button has no effect, the Power Button Lockout feature may be
enabled. To disable this feature, press and hold the monitor power button for 10 seconds.
NOTE: You can disable the power LED in the OSD menu. Press the Menu button on the front of the
monitor, then select Management > Bezel Power LED > Off.
When the monitor is powered on, a status message is displayed for five seconds. The message shows which input (HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, or MHL) is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source setting (On or Off; factory default is On), the default source signal (factory default is DisplayPort), the current preset display resolution, and the recommended preset display resolution.
The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the display. If two or more inputs are active, the monitor will display the default input source. If the default source is not one of the active inputs, then the monitor will display the highest ranking priority input. You can change the default source in the OSD by pressing the front panel Menu button and selecting Input Control > Default Input.
16 Chapter 2 Setting up and using the monitor

HP watermark and image retention policy

The IPS monitor models are designed with IPS (In-Plane Switching) display technology which provides ultra-wide viewing angles and advanced image quality. IPS monitors are suitable for a wide variety of advanced image quality applications. This panel technology, however, is not suitable for applications that exhibit static, stationary or fixed images for long periods of time without the use of screen savers. These types of applications may include camera surveillance, video games, marketing logos, and templates that are displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time. Static images may cause image retention damage that could look like stains or watermarks on the monitor's screen.
Monitors in use for 24 hours per day that result in image retention damage are not covered under the HP warranty. To avoid image retention damage, always turn off the monitor when it is not in use or use the power management setting, if supported on your system, to turn off the display when the system is idle.

Removing the monitor stand

You can remove the monitor panel from the stand to install the panel on a wall, a swing arm, or other mounting fixture.
CAUTION: Before beginning to disassemble the monitor, be sure the monitor is turned off and the
power and signal cables are both disconnected. Also disconnect the USB and audio cables connected to the monitor.
1. Disconnect and remove the signal, power, USB, and audio cables from the monitor.
2. Lay the monitor face down on a flat surface covered by a clean, dry cloth so the base extends
over the edge of the surface and the monitor is lying flat on the surface.
3. Push the stand cover toward the top of the stand to disengage the "L" tabs (about 1/2 inch) (1),
and then lift the cover off the stand riser (2).
HP watermark and image retention policy 17
4. Loosen the two captive screws that secure the stand to the display head.
5. Lift the base up after 45 degrees to disengage the stand (1), and then pull the stand off of the
monitor (2).
18 Chapter 2 Setting up and using the monitor

Mounting the monitor

The monitor panel can be attached to a wall, swing arm, or other mounting fixture with a 100 mm x 100 mm mounting pattern.
NOTE: This apparatus is intended to be supported by a UL or CSA listed wall mount bracket.
1. Remove the monitor panel from the stand. Refer to Removing the monitor stand on page 17.
CAUTION: This monitor supports the VESA industry standard 100 mm mounting holes. To
attach a third-party mounting solution to the monitor, four 4 mm, 0.7 pitch, and 10 mm long screws are required. Longer screws must not be used because they may damage the monitor. It is important to verify that the manufacturer’s mounting solution is compliant with the VESA standard and is rated to support the weight of the monitor display panel. For best performance, it is important to use the power and video cables provided with the monitor.
2. To attach the monitor to a swing arm, insert four 10 mm screws through the holes on the swing
arm plate and into the mounting holes on the monitor.
To attach the monitor to other mounting fixtures, follow the instructions included with the mounting fixture to ensure that the monitor is safely attached.
3. Reconnect the cables to the monitor panel.
Removing the monitor stand 19

Locating the rating label

The rating label on the monitor provides the spare part number, product number, and serial number. You may need these numbers when contacting HP about the monitor model. The rating label is located on the rear panel of the monitor behind the cable cover.

Installing a cable lock

You can secure the monitor to a fixed object with an optional cable lock available from HP.
20 Chapter 2 Setting up and using the monitor

Having a video chat or making conference calls

To set up a video chat, you must have a connection to the Internet, and ISP, and software that enables you to make video calls over the Internet. As with chat or instant messenger software, you can use this kind of software to chat with one or more people at a time. This software may require a separate subscription.
The optimal distance for recording sound with the array microphone is about .5 meters (2 feet) away from the microphone.
Before you can set up a video chat:
1. Download an Internet messenger or video phone call program. Make sure the person you are
calling has compatible video-calling software.
2. Enable your webcam as the default video input. This is usually done through the video setup in
the Tools menu in the software program you are using.
3. Send your video call by following the instructions for the video-calling software program.

Entering user modes

The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset if:
You are not using a standard graphics adapter.
You are not using a preset mode.
It this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor screen by using the on-screen display. Your changes can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The monitor automatically stores the new setting, then recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the factory preset modes, there are at least 10 user modes that can be entered and stored.

Energy saver feature

The monitors support a reduced power state. The reduced power state will be entered into if the monitor detects the absence of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal. Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned off, and the power light is turned amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the monitor will utilize 0.5 watts of power. There is a brief warm-up period before the monitor will return to its normal operating mode.
Refer to the computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes called power management features).
NOTE: The above power saver feature only works when connected to computers that have energy
saver features.
By selecting the settings in the monitor's sleep timer utility, you can also program the monitor to enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's sleep timer utility causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.
