Important Safety Information
The power cord is designed for use with your monitor. To use a different cord, use only a power source and
connection compatible with this monitor.
WARNIN G : To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding
Å
feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. Connect the equipment to a grounded (earthed) power outlet.
WARNIN G : For your safety, be sure that the grounded power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily accessible to the
Å
operator and located as close to the equipment as possible. To disconnect power from the equipment, unplug the power cord
from the power outlet by grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord.
CAUTION: To protect your monitor, as well as your computer, connect all power cords for your computer and its peripheral
Ä
devices (such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a surge protection device such as a power strip with surge protection or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must be specifically labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip
whose manufacturer offers a damage replacement policy, so you can replace your equipment if surge protection fails.

Safety Precautions
■ Use only a power source and connection compatible with this monitor, as indicated on the label/back plate of
the monitor.
■ Be sure the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the
electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected to the power cord does not exceed the
rating of the power cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (Amps or A) for each device.
■ Install your monitor near a power outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the plug
firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.
■ Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
Maintenance Guidelines
To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor:
■ Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. If your monitor is not operating
properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your Hewlett-Packard authorized dealer, reseller, or service
provider.
■ Adjust only those controls that are described in the operating instructions.
■ Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of the monitor by using
a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.
■ Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, or moisture.
■ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or covered.
Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
■ Unplug the monitor from the power outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
■ Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.

Selecting the Video Input Connectors
The two input connectors are:
■ VGA connector (analog)
■ DVI-D connector (digital) for select models
The monitor automatically determines which inputs have valid video signals, and displays the image.
You can connect the VGA cable, the DVI-D cable, or both. If both cables are installed, the default input selection is
DVI. The source of input can be switched using the Switch Video Input option in the OSD menu.
Identifying Monitor Conditions
Special messages appear on the monitor screen for the following monitor conditions:
■ Input Signal Out of Range— Indicates the monitor does not support the video input signal because the
resolution or refresh rate are set higher than the monitor supports.
Set the resolution and refresh rate to the value displayed. Restart your computer for the new settings to take effect.
■ Monitor Going to Sleep — Indicates the screen display is entering a sleep mode. The speakers are turned off
in sleep mode.
■ Check Video Cable — Indicates a video input cable is not properly connected to the computer or monitor.
Operating the Monitor
■ OSD Lock-out — The OSD can be enabled or disabled by pressing and holding the Menu button on the front
panel for 10 seconds. If the OSD is locked, the warning message “OSD Lock-out” appears for 10 seconds.
❏If the OSD is locked, press and hold the Menu button for 10 seconds to unlock the OSD.
❏If the OSD is unlocked, press and hold the Menu button for 10 seconds to lock the OSD.
■ No Input Signal — Indicates the monitor is not receiving a video signal from the computer on the monitor
video input connector(s). Check to see if the computer or input signal source is off or in the power-saver mode.
■ Auto Adjustment in Progress — Indicates the auto-adjustment function is active. See “Adjusting Screen
Quality” in this chapter.
Adjusting Screen Quality
The auto-adjustment feature automatically fine-tunes the image quality for display size, position, clock, and phase
each time a new video mode is displayed. For more precise adjustments of VGA input, run the Auto-Adjustment
software on the CD. See “Using the Auto-Adjustment Function” in this chapter.
If you want additional image-quality improvement, use the Clock and Clock Phase controls of the monitor to fine-tune
the image. See “Optimizing Analog Video” in this chapter.
Optimizing Analog Video
This monitor contains advanced circuitry that allows the monitor to function as a standard analog monitor. Two
controls in the OSD menu can be adjusted to improve analog image performance:
■ Clock— Increase or decrease the value to minimize any vertical bars or stripes visible on the screen
background.
■ Clock Phase— Increase or decrease the value to minimize video distortion or video jitter.
Use these controls only when the auto-adjustment function does not provide a satisfactory monitor image in
analog mode.
To obtain the best results:
1. Allow the monitor to warm up for 20 minutes before adjusting.
2. Display the adjustment-pattern application provided on the CD.
3. Access the OSD menu, then select Image Control.
4. Set the main Clock settings correctly first, because the Clock Phase settings depend on the main Clock setting.
❏When adjusting the Clock and Clock Phase values, if the monitor images become distorted, continue
adjusting the values until the distortion disappears.
To restore the factory settings, access the OSD menu, select Factory Reset, and then select Yes.

Operating the Monitor
Power-Saver Feature
When the monitor is in normal operating mode, the Power light is blue and the monitor uses the normal watts of
power. For power usage, refer to “Technical Specifications” (Appendix B).
The monitor also supports a power-saver mode that is controlled by the computer. When the monitor is in the
reduced-power state, the monitor screen is blank, the backlight is off, and the Power light is amber. The monitor uses
minimum power. When the monitor is “awakened,” a brief warm-up period occurs before the monitor returns to
normal operating mode. The energy-saving reduced power state activates if the monitor does not detect either the
horizontal sync signal or the vertical sync signal. The power-saver feature must be activated on your computer for this
feature to work.
Refer to your computer documentation for instructions on setting energy-saver features (sometimes called
power-management features).
The energy-saver feature works only when the monitor is connected to computers that have energy-saver features.
✎
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
If your monitor supports HDCP, it can receive high-definition content. High-definition content is available in many
sources, such as HD-DVD and Blu-Ray devices or HDTV air or cable broadcasts. If you do not have an HDCP-enabled
monitor, you may see a black screen or a lower resolution picture when playing high-definition protected content.
Your computer graphic card and monitor must both support HDCP to display protected content.

Technical Specifications
LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy
The HP LCD Monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured according to high standards, to help guarantee
trouble-free performance. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or
dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by all vendors and is not specific to the
HP LCD Monitor. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or subpixels.
■ A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue subpixel.
■ A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a bright spot on a dark background), or it is always off (a dark spot
on a bright background). The first is the more visible of the two.
■ A defective subpixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whole pixel, and is small and only visible on a
specific background.
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions and in normal operating
mode at a supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 inches).
We expect that, over time, the industry will continue to improve its ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic
imperfections, and we will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.
For more information about your HP LCD Monitor, refer to the HP Web site at: http://www.hp.com/support
