This chapter contains information about using your  
HP Pavilion FX75 Flat Panel Display.  
Turning the Display On and Off  
Use the Power button on the front of the display to  
turn the display on and off. When the display is on,  
the light near the Power button is illuminated. The  
light is green when the display and computer are  
active and amber when the display is in a reduced  
power mode.  
If your computer supplies power save signals to the  
display, the display’s power management features  
reduce power consumption to low levels when your  
computer goes into its power-saving mode. See  
“Minimizing Energy Use” on page 15 for more  
information.

Revision #: 30 Page: 11 of 43 Printed: 10/16/00 03:31 PM  
If your computer doesn’t use industry standard  
power-save signaling techniques, you can reduce  
power consumption by turning off the display when  
it won’t be used for an extended period. You can  
turn the display off even if you leave the computer  
running.  
Tilting the Display  
The display has a tilt feature that allows you to  
tilt the display back and forth to find the most  
comfortable viewing position. To tilt the display,  
grasp the sides and push the display back or pull  
it toward you until it is in the desired position.  
The display can be tilted 35 degrees backward  
and 5 degrees forward.  
Warning: To completely disconnect power from  
the display, you must remove the power cord from  
the wall socket and then remove the power cable  
from the display.  
Note: Do not tilt the display by grasping the top edge.  
Using Screen Savers  
Because of the technology used in LCD panels,  
screen savers will not prolong the life of your  
FX75 display. If the display will not be used for  
an extended period, be sure to turn it off.

To set the video mode in Microsoft Windows:  
Click Start on the taskbar.  
2 Choose Settings and then select Control Panel.  
Double-click the Display icon.  
4 Click the Settings tab.  
Setting the Video Mode  
1
Since the inherent format of the FX75 display is  
1024 pixels by 768 lines, the display will perform  
best when your PC is set to a screen resolution of  
1024 x 768. If you use a lower resolution (such as  
640 x 480), the image is expanded to fill the screen.  
3
Note: The scaling mode controls how the image fills  
the screen area; see “Selecting a Scaling Mode”  
on page 24.  
5
Select the desired screen resolution in the  
Screen Area field.  
6 Click OK.  
Your display supports many common video modes,  
as shown in “FX75 Video Modes” on page 35. Check  
the documentation supplied with your computer and  
video adapter to find out which modes they support.

To set the refresh rate with a standard Windows  
installation, follow the steps below.  
Setting the Refresh Rate  
The image refresh rate is the number of times per  
second that the image is refreshed; it is also known  
as the vertical frequency.  
Note: Some graphic drivers require different steps; if the  
steps below are not applicable to your system,  
please refer to the documentation that came with  
your video card.  
On standard CRT displays, you want to use the  
highest possible refresh rate supported by your  
computer at the current screen resolution. This is  
necessary to avoid screen flickering and to minimize  
eyestrain. However, with your FX75 liquid crystal  
display, flicker is not an issue. It is flicker-free at all  
supported refresh rates.  
1
Click Start on the taskbar.  
2 Choose Settings and then select Control Panel.  
Double-click the Display icon.  
4 Click the Settings tab.  
Click the Advanced button.  
6 Click the Adapter tab.  
3
The table in “FX75 Video Modes” on page 35 shows  
the image refresh rates supported by the display  
at different screen resolutions. Although the FX75  
supports up to 85 Hz for analog video input, we  
recommend that you use 75 Hz refresh rates for  
best performance.

Select the desired vertical frequency in the  
Refresh rate field.

Minimizing Energy Use  
Caring For and  
Cleaning the Display  
Many computers, including HP Pavilion PCs, support  
industry standard power-save signaling techniques.  
Power management features reduce the display’s  
power consumption after a period of keyboard  
inactivity.  
To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the  
liquid crystal display, HP recommends that you:  
x Use the display power management system  
(if available on your computer).  
When the display is in a power-saving mode, the  
screen is blank and the power indicator is amber.  
Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse  
restores the image in several seconds. Consult your  
computer documentation for information about  
setting the power-saving modes.  
x If you don’t use a power management system,  
turn off the display when you won’t be using it  
for an extended period.  
x Don’t press, rub, or poke the display with your  
finger or other object.  
Your FX75 display accepts the signals for the three  
standard power-saving modes – Standby, Suspend,  
and Sleep. For any of these conditions, the display  
will go into Sleep mode.  
x Handle your display with care.

Cleaning the Screen  
Your LCD module is a high-quality optical device  
that requires special care when cleaning.  
Warning: Don’t use liquid, aerosol, or abrasive  
cleaning solutions to clean the screen.  
To clean the screen:  
1
Shut down the computer.  
2 Turn off and unplug the display.  
3
Gently dust the screen with a dry, soft, lint-free  
cloth.  
Note: If the screen is still dirty, you can dampen  
the cloth with several drops of distilled water.  
Make sure the LCD panel is completely dry  
before you turn the display back on.  
4 Plug in the display.  
5
Turn on your computer and display.

FX75 Video Modes  
The FX75 display supports the following industry-  
standard combinations of screen resolution and  
refresh rates. Other combinations are possible,  
but may require adjustments to the image. (See  
“Adjusting the Image” on page 22 for information  
about making these adjustments.)  
Note: The display is capable of going beyond these  
recommended modes.  
Unknown Video Modes  
Displays are designed to work with standard video  
modes. However, not all video cards use only  
standard display modes.  
For optimal performance, set your PC to a screen  
resolution of 1024 x 768 at a 75 Hz refresh rate.  
Your HP Pavilion FX75 display has state-of-the-art  
technology which is designed to synchronize to any  
display mode. We recommend choosing one of the  
supported modes listed above. If you choose an  
unknown mode, you will need to manually adjust  
the phase, clock, and position.

provide adequate image adjustment, then you must  
manually adjust the phase, horizontal position, and  
vertical position.
