User Manual

When the monitor is powered on, a Monitor Status message is displayed for ve seconds. The message shows
which input is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source setting (On or O; default setting
is On), the current preset screen resolution, and the recommended preset screen resolution.
The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the screen.
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 that are
displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time. Static images may cause image retention damage that
could look like stains or watermarks on the monitor's screen.
Monitors in use for 24 hours per day that result in image retention damage are 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 display when the system is idle.
Installing a security cable
You can secure the monitor to a xed object with an optional cable lock available from HP.
