2 Safety and Maintenance Guidelines Important Safety Information A power cord is included with the monitor. If another cord is used, use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor. For information on the correct power cord set to use with the monitor, refer to the Power Cord Set Requirements on page 40. WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment: • Do not disable the power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
● Install the monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord. ● Turn the monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of the monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use. NOTE: Monitors with a “burned-in image” are not covered under the HP warranty.
3 Setting Up the Monitor To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor, computer system, and other attached devices, then follow the instructions below. Unfolding the Monitor Pedestal Base 1. Lift the monitor from its box and place it face down on a flat surface. 2. Hold down the monitor base with one hand (1) then grasp the top of the stand with the other hand and unfold the display head 90 degrees (2). CAUTION: Do not touch the surface of the LCD panel.

After changing an OSD menu item, and if the menu screen has these options, you may choose to: ● Cancel—to return to the previous menu level. ● Save and Return—to save all changes and return to the OSD Main Menu screen. This Save and Return option is only active if you change a menu item.
Table 4-2 OSD Menu (continued) Icon Main Menu Submenu Description Sharpness Adjusts the screen image to look sharper or soft. Dynamic Contrast Ratio Turns Dynamic Contrast Ratio On or Off. The factory default is Off. OSD Control Provides a menu for adjusting the on-screen display (OSD) controls. Horizontal OSD Position Changes the viewing position of the OSD menu to the left or right area of the screen. The factory default range is 50.
Table 4-2 OSD Menu (continued) Icon Main Menu Submenu Description Monitor Status Displays the operating status of the monitor each time the monitor is powered on. Select the location to display the status to: ● Top ● Middle ● Bottom ● Off The factory default is Top. DDC/CI Support Allows the computer to control some OSD menu features such as brightness, contrast and color temperature. Set to: ● On ● Off The factory default is On.

Table 4-2 OSD Menu (continued) Icon Main Menu Submenu Source Control Description Selects the video input signal. DP (DisplayPort) is the factory default. DisplayPort Selects DisplayPort as the video input signal. DVI Selects DVI as the video input signal. VGA Selects VGA as the video input signal. Default Source Selects the default or primary video input signal when the monitor is connected to two active and valid video sources. The monitor will automatically determine the video format.
Optimizing Image Performance Two controls in the on-screen display can be adjusted to improve image performance: Clock and Clock Phase. NOTE: The Clock and Clock Phase controls are adjustable only when using an analog input. These controls are not adjustable for digital inputs. The Clock must first be set correctly since the Clock Phase settings are dependent on the main Clock setting. Use these controls only when the auto-adjustment function does not provide a satisfactory image.
To correct screen position (Horizontal Position or Vertical Position): 1. Press the Menu button on the monitor's front panel to open the OSD Menu, and then select Image Control > Horizontal Position and/or Vertical Position. 2. Press the + (Plus) or – (Minus) buttons on the monitor's front panel to properly adjust the position of the image in the display area of the monitor. The Horizontal Position shifts the image left or right; the Vertical Position shifts the image up and down.
● No Source Signal—Indicates the monitor is not receiving a video signal from the PC on the monitor video input connector. Check to determine if the PC or input signal source is off or in the power saving mode. ● Auto Adjustment in Progress—Indicates the auto-adjustment function is active. ● Monitor Going to Sleep—Indicates the screen display is entering a sleep mode. ● Check Video Cable—Indicates the video cable is not properly connected to the computer.
4. Scroll down and highlight and select Sleep Timer > Set Current Time. NOTE: You must set the current local time before you reset the time for Sleep Time or On Time. Note that the time is displayed in a 24–hour clock format. For example, 1:15 p.m. is displayed as 13 hours 15 minutes. A power failure or loss of power to the monitor will cause the timer to reset to 00:00. If this occurs, you will need to reset the sleep timer mode. 5. Press the OK button once to enter the adjustment mode for hours. 6.

D LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy The TFT monitor uses high-precision technology, 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.
