Introduction The HP Pavilion mx703 Monitor and the HP Pavilion m703 Monitor are high-resolution color monitors designed for use with HP Pavilion home PCs and other PCs. The monitors include brackets for the two supplied speakers. The optional subwoofer is not included with the monitor. The CRT (cathode-ray tube) monitor comes in two styles, mx703 with a flat screen and m703 with a curved screen. Other features include: ■ Onscreen adjustment of display settings.
Inventory Warning: To completely disconnect Check your monitor box for the following items: power from the monitor, you must remove the power cable from the power socket.
If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the monitor and contact a qualified service technician: ■ The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged. ■ You have spilled liquid into the monitor. ■ The monitor has been exposed to rain or water. ■ The monitor does not operate correctly when the operating instructions are followed. ■ The monitor has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. ■ The performance of the monitor changes abruptly.
Installation Follow the instructions in this chapter to install your monitor. Warning: The monitor is a heavy object. Exercise caution, or get help when lifting it, to prevent back injury. Note: Before installing the monitor, refer to your PC and video adapter documentation. You may need to make changes to accommodate the monitor. Placing the Monitor Place the monitor on a flat, sturdy surface. Choose an area that is free from excessive heat, moisture, and sunlight.
2 Plug the power cord into a power outlet. Installing the Speakers 3 Connect the blue plug on the video cable to the video port of your PC. If you have an HP Pavilion, this port is usually marked in blue. However, on some HP Pavilions, the port could be marked in orange. (The illustration below is for reference only. Check your PC user’s guide for the video port location.) The speakers are designed for use with the PC and mount on the monitor.

To place the two-speaker system If you are not using the brackets for the speakers, position the speakers and continue with “To connect the two-speaker system.” 1 Locate the left and the right speaker brackets (see H).
3 Note the correct orientation of the brackets shown in the figure.
4 Insert the bracket into the slots on the monitor and slide the bracket toward the front of the monitor. If you need to remove the bracket, press the tab J beneath the bracket and slide the bracket back. 5 Align the bottom of the speaker with the bracket L, and then slide the speaker onto the bracket. To connect the two-speaker system 1 Plug the power adapter G cable into the back of the right speaker F. Connect the power adapter in a wall receptacle.
Installing the Two-Speaker and Subwoofer System This configuration uses an optional subwoofer (not provided) and the two speakers included with the monitor.

5 Turn on the PC, the monitor, the subwoofer power button M, and then the right speaker On/Volume knob A. To turn on the monitor, see “Turning the Monitor On and Off” on page 12. Using the Monitor This chapter contains information about using the monitor. Turning the Monitor On and Off Use the Power button on the front panel to turn the monitor on and off. When the monitor is on, the Power button is illuminated.
Because of the monitor’s power-management features, you don’t normally need to turn off the monitor when it’s not in use. When turned off, the monitor uses the same amount of power that it uses in Sleep mode (less than 4 watts). If your PC doesn’t support DPMS powermanagement, you can reduce power consumption by turning off the monitor when it won’t be used for an extended period. You can turn the monitor off even if you leave the PC running.
Setting the Screen Resolution To set the screen resolution The screen resolution determines the amount of information shown in the display. Screen resolution refers to the number of dots, or pixels, used to make up an image. A low screen resolution means that the display uses a relatively small number of relatively large dots. A higher resolution means that more dots of a smaller size make up the image.
Selecting Refresh Rate To select the screen refresh rate To minimize eyestrain and maximize the performance of your monitor, use the highest possible image refresh rate or vertical frequency for which you don’t perceive flicker (generally at or above 75 Hz for most users). The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed. The “Pre-Set Video Modes” table shows the image refresh rates supported by the monitors at different screen resolutions.
The monitor supports three different power-saving modes — Standby, Suspend, and Sleep. See “DPMS Power-Management Features” on page 34 for a description of the characteristics of each mode. When the monitor is in one of its power-saving modes, the screen is blanked out and the front panel power indicator is yellow/amber. Consult your PC user’s guide for information about setting the power-saving modes. Cleaning the Screen To clean the screen: 1 Turn off and unplug the monitor.
Changing Display Settings menu Use the On Screen Display (OSD) features of the monitor to change settings. The buttons on the front panel control onscreen icons and windows. menu select Using the Front Panel Use the four buttons on the front of the monitor to control OSD functions: select Menu button opens the OSD Main Menu window or closes the OSD window.

When you want to make very precise adjustments to the screen color, you can individually adjust the red, green, and blue (RGB) values that make up the screen image. For example, under unique ambient lighting conditions, you may need to adjust the screen color so that it more closely matches the ambient lighting conditions. You make these adjustments by individually setting red, green, and blue (RGB) values. Make sure to let the monitor warm up fully before trying to match colors precisely.
