3 Operating the Monitor
Overview of Operation
If you are not familiar with HP Performance monitors, read this section for an overview of how they
operate. This will help you locate specific information elsewhere in this manual.
Your monitor provides for more than one source of input. It will scan the various inputs to find an
active one and display that image. You can change sources manually, using the SOURCE button on
the front panel. The scanning order is initially set to DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDMI, VGA, making
DisplayPort the default source of video.
Some models give you control of the scanning order and default source through an On-Screen
Display (OSD) menu. If your front panel has a menu (
lets you prevent the monitor from switching sources.
If the monitor is not receiving any input, it will go into low power mode (“sleep”) and the LED on the
front will turn from blue to amber. This means that the monitor will sleep when the computer does,
unless it has some other source of input. You can send it into low-power mode using the power (
button on the front. The OSD lets you put sleeping and waking on a timer or stay awake all the time
(not recommended).
Your monitor displays its state through the LED on the front panel and through messages on the
screen. These indicators vary from one model to another, but all use the following LED indicators:
) button, it provides an OSD. The OSD also
)
Blue – normal operation
●
Amber – low-power mode
●
Flashing blue – the input calls for higher resolution than the monitor can provide
●
Flashing amber – timed sleep, that is, the monitor is in low-power mode and will awaken on a
●
timer
● No light – normal operation or power off
In addition to these indicators, some models use screen messages as well, detailed later in this
chapter.
Image quality is well-controlled with digital inputs. For analog input, various tools are provided for
adjusting the quality: a software utility, an auto-adjust function, and options in the OSD.
ZR2040w and ZR2240w Model
The order in which these monitors scan the inputs begins with the DisplayPort, making it the default
input. If DisplayPort is inactive, the monitor will scan for an active input in this order: DVI-D, HDMI
(ZR2240w only), VGA. You can change the current input, the default source, and the scan order

Energy Saver Feature
In addition to normal operating mode, your monitor has a low-power, or "sleep" mode that uses less
than .5 watts and from which it will awaken with any signal input. The monitor will go to sleep
automatically when it stops receiving input, so putting your computer on a timer is one way to put the
monitor on a timer. Some models also have their own sleep timers. The power LED on the front panel
indicates the monitor's state: blue under full power, amber in sleep mode, and blinking amber on a
sleep timer.
NOTE: If your monitor has a master power switch (located on the rear of the monitor), putting the
switch in the Off position will yield the lowest power state for the monitor when not in use.
