This monitor is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play compatible,  
and the monitor will work correctly without installing the INF file.  
The INF file enables the computer to communicate with the monitor  
and use all the monitor features. The INF file defines monitor  
resources used by Microsoft Windows operating systems to ensure  
monitor compatibility with your computer’s graphics adapter.  
Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s  
graphics card is VESA DDC2 compliant and that the monitor  
connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does  
not work through separate BNC-type connectors or through  
distribution buffers or boxes. You may have to install the INF  
file from the CD if these conditions are not met.

Selecting the Video Input Connectors  
The two input connectors are:  
VGA connector (analog)  
DVI-D connector (digital) (f monitor, select models only)  
The monitor automatically determines which inputs have valid  
video signals and displays the image. The video input can be  
manually selected through the OSD feature or selected using the  
monitor buttons by pressing the (Minus) button for DVI input or  
the + (Plus) button for VGA input.  
CAUTION: Image retention may occur on monitors that display the  
Ä
same static image on screen for a prolonged period of time. To  
avoid image retention on your monitor screen, you should always  
use a screen saver application or turn off the monitor when it is not in  
use for a prolonged period of time.

Identifying Monitor Conditions  
Special messages display 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.  
OSD Lock — 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” displays 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-saving mode.  
Auto-Adjustment is in Progress — Indicates the  
Auto-adjustment function is active. See “Adjusting Screen  
Quality” in this chapter.

Operating the Monitor  
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  
If additional image quality improvement is desired, use the Clock  
and Phase controls of the monitor to fine-tune the image. See  
Optimizing Analog Video  
This monitor contains advanced circuitry that allows the monitor to  
function as a standard analog monitor. Two controls in the  
Advanced Menu OSD 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 Advanced Menu OSD; select Image Control.  
4. Set the main Clock 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 Advanced Menu OSD,  
select Factory Reset, and then select Yes.

Entering User Modes  
The video controller signal may occasionally require a custom user  
mode if you are not using a standard graphics adapter or pre-set  
mode. In this condition, you may need to create a user mode. You  
can use the OSD to:  
Create a user-defined mode with custom monitor screen  
parameters.  
Readjust the parameters of any user mode.  
Save them in memory. The monitor automatically stores the  
new setting, then recognizes the new mode just as it does a  
pre-set mode.  
Ten user modes can be entered and stored, in addition to the  
factory pre-set modes (see the table “Factory Pre-set Video Input

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  
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 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 PC 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.

LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy  
The HP LCD Monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured  
according to high standards, to 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.  
The HP LCD Monitor has:  
Less than 7 total dot defects  
0 defective full pixels  
3 defective bright subpixels (maximum)  
7 defective dark subpixels (maximum)  
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.

Power Cord Set Requirements  
The monitor power supply is provided with Automatic Line  
Switching (ALS). This feature allows the monitor to operate on input  
voltages between 100–120V or 200–240V .  
The power cord set (flexible cord or wall plug) received with the  
monitor meets the requirements for use in the country/region  
where you purchased the equipment.  
If you need to obtain a power cord for a different country/region,  
you should purchase a power cord that is approved for use in that  
country/region.  
The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage  
and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label.  
The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than  
the voltage and current rating marked on the product. In addition,  
the cross-sectional area of the wire must be a minimum of  
0.75 mm² or 18AWG, and the length of the cord must be  
between 4.94 ft. (1.5 m) and 12 ft. (3.6 m). If you have  
questions about the type of power cord to use, contact your  
HP-authorized service provider.  
A power cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked  
on or pinched by items placed upon it or against it. Particular  
attention should be paid to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point  
where the cord exits from the product.
