Using HP Sure View (select models only)
HP Sure View uses a unique system and LCD module design in order to achieve the switchable privacy
function.
With Sure View turned ON, the screen switches to a privacy mode that makes content easily visible for a user
sitting in a "viewing cone" directly in front of the screen. Those viewing outside the cone will have diiculty
seeing the screen.
With HP Sure View turned OFF, the screen returns to a non-privacy mode where it can be viewed easily from
any position.
You can turn HP Sure View on or o by pressing the HP Sure View button on the bottom of the front bezel.
When the Sure View button is pressed, the Sure View application displays the status of Sure View using the
following icons and allows you to change the status of Sure View by pressing the Sure View button. Double-
clicking the Sure View application also allows you to adjust the brightness of the Sure View mode. Normal
brightness adjustment methods do not apply to Sure View mode.
NOTE: The area surrounding the bottom of the computer may get noticeably warmer when Sure View is
turned on. This is a normal condition.
