HP watermark and image retention policy
The IPS monitor models are designed with IPS (In-Plane Switching) display technology, which provides ultra-
wide viewing angles and advanced image quality. IPS monitors are suitable for a wide variety of advanced
image quality applications. This panel technology, however, is not suitable for applications that exhibit static,
stationary, or xed images for long periods of time without the use of screen savers. These types of
applications may include camera surveillance, video games, marketing logos, and templates. Static images
may cause image retention damage that could look like stains or watermarks on the monitor's screen.
Image retention damage on monitors that are in use 24 hours per day is not covered under the HP warranty.
To avoid image retention damage, always turn o the monitor when it is not in use or use the power
management setting, if supported on your system, to turn o the monitor when the system is idle.
Installing a security cable
You can secure the monitor to a xed object with an optional security cable available from HP. Use the key
provided to attach and remove the lock.
