Important Safety Information
The power cord is designed for use with your monitor. To use a
different cord, use only a power source and connection compatible
with this monitor.
ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your
equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The
grounding plug is an important safety feature. Connect the
equipment to a grounded (earthed) power outlet.
ÅWARNING: For your safety, be sure that the grounded power outlet
you plug the power cord into is easily accessible to the operator and
located as close to the equipment as possible. To disconnect power
from the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by
grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord.
ÄCAUTION: To protect your monitor, as well as your computer,
connect all power cords for your computer and its peripheral devices
(such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a surge protection device
such as a power strip with surge protection or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS).
Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power strips must
be specifically labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip
whose manufacturer offers a damage replacement policy so you can
replace your equipment if surge protection fails.

Connecting the Power Cable
1. Read the warning below.
ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your
equipment:
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug
is an important safety feature. Plug the power cord into a grounded
(earthed) electrical outlet.
Be sure that the grounded power outlet you plug the power cord into
is easily accessible to the operator and located as close to the
equipment as possible. 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.
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so
that no one may accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull
on a cord or cable.
See “Power Cord Set Requirements” in Appendix B for additional
information.
2. Connect one end of the power cable to the monitor 5 and the
other end to an electrical wall outlet.
3. For the f monitor, place the cables through the cable
managment clasp 6 at the back of the monitor base.

Operating the Monitor
CD Software and Utilities
The CD included with this monitor contains two files you can install
on your computer:
■An INF (information) file
■An ICM (Image Color Matching) file
This CD also contains the auto-adjustment utility. This single pattern
program helps improve the picture quality of your VGA monitor.
See “Using the Auto-Adjustment Function” in this chapter.
Adobe Acrobat Reader is supplied on the CD and can be installed
from the menu.
The Information File
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.
Operating the Monitor
4–2 User’s Guide

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.

User’s Guide 4–15
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
“Using the Auto-Adjustment Function” in this chapter.
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” in this chapter.
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
Modes” in Appendix B).

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
usage, refer to “Technical Specifications” (Appendix B).
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 5 total dot defects
■0 defective full pixels
■3 defective bright subpixels (maximum)
■5 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.
