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 in
the following order: DisplayPort, DVI, then VGA. You can change the default source in the OSD by
pressing the front panel Menu button and selecting Source Control > Default Source.
HP Watermark and Image Retention Policy
The HP ZR2330w IPS monitor is 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.
HP Watermark and Image Retention Policy 11
Connecting USB Devices
USB connectors are used to connect devices such as a digital camera, USB keyboard, or USB
mouse. Two USB connectors are located on the side panel of the monitor.

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.
Recognizing Preset Display Resolutions 19
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 .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 Energy Saver utility, you can also program the monitor to
enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's Energy Saver utility
causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.
