setting (On or Off; factory default is On), the default source signal (factory default 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

Chapter 3 Operating the touch screen
Touch screen troubleshooting
NOTE: For general troubleshooting information, refer to the HP LCD Monitors Reference Guide
included on the disc with your monitor.
Table 3-2 Touch screen troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
Computer does not recover from Sleep mode when the touch
screen is touched.
Sleep mode recovery is not supported by the touch screen.
Use the keyboard or mouse to recover from Sleep mode.
The USB cable is quickly removed from the monitor and
reinserted, and the touch function is lost.

parameters when a USB device is either removed or
connected. Try removing the USB cable again, wait for at
least five seconds, and then plug it in again.
Multi-touch gestures do not function on Windows 7 Home
Basic or Starter editions, Windows Vista, or Windows XP.
Only Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise,
and Ultimate editions support multi-touch gestures.
The Start, Close, and other icons are too small to touch with Windows 7 provides a large icon feature that supports touch
a finger.
screen functions. This feature can be accessed in the Control
Panel. A stylus may also be used.
Touch operation does not function properly on lower-
resolution video modes that are not displayed in fullscreen.
Although the monitor supports a fill-to-aspect ratio function, the
touch controller does not know how to respond to less-than-
fullscreen images. Either change the resolution to 1920 x
1080, or access the OSD menu and select Image Control
to enable Fill-to-Screen (default setting).
A single touch is recognized as two touches. If using a paint
tool, a single finger creates two lines.

area. A fingertip touch usually works better than a flat
forefinger or thumb touch.
When the monitor used is in a dual-screen configuration, the
touch function on the second display does not work.
The USB connection is only capable of operating a single-
touch screen monitor. If the second monitor is a touch monitor,
you must connect a second USB cable.
NOTE: Windows 7 Home Basic and Starter editions,
Windows Vista, and Windows XP do not support extended
display touch functionality. They support single-touch functions
on the primary monitor only, not the secondary monitor
(extended or cloned desktop).

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.
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
0.5 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.

Appendix A Technical specifications
B LCD monitor quality and pixel
policy
The TFT monitor uses high-precision technology that is manufactured according to HP 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. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective
pixels or sub-pixels.
A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel.
●
●
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 sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whole pixel and is small and only
