This chapter contains information about using your
HP Pavilion FX75 Flat Panel Display.
Turning the Display On and Off
Use the Power button on the front of the display to
turn the display on and off. When the display is on,
the light near the Power button is illuminated. The
light is green when the display and computer are
active and amber when the display is in a reduced
power mode.
If your computer supplies power save signals to the
display, the display’s power management features
reduce power consumption to low levels when your
computer goes into its power-saving mode. See
“Minimizing Energy Use” on page 15 for more
information.

If your computer doesn’t use industry standard
power-save signaling techniques, you can reduce
power consumption by turning off the display when
it won’t be used for an extended period. You can
turn the display off even if you leave the computer
running.
Tilting the Display
The display has a tilt feature that allows you to
tilt the display back and forth to find the most
comfortable viewing position. To tilt the display,
grasp the sides and push the display back or pull
it toward you until it is in the desired position.
The display can be tilted 35 degrees backward
and 5 degrees forward.
Warning: To completely disconnect power from
the display, you must remove the power cord from
the wall socket and then remove the power cable
from the display.
Note: Do not tilt the display by grasping the top edge.
Using Screen Savers
Because of the technology used in LCD panels,
screen savers will not prolong the life of your
FX75 display. If the display will not be used for
an extended period, be sure to turn it off.

Since the inherent format of the FX75 display is
1024 pixels by 768 lines, the display will perform
best when your PC is set to a screen resolution of
1024 x 768. If you use a lower resolution (such as
640 x 480), the image is expanded to fill the screen.

Note: The scaling mode controls how the image fills
the screen area; see “Selecting a Scaling Mode”
on page 24.

Select the desired screen resolution in the
Screen Area field.

Your display supports many common video modes,
as shown in “FX75 Video Modes” on page 35. Check

To set the refresh rate with a standard Windows
installation, follow the steps below.
Setting the Refresh Rate
The image refresh rate is the number of times per
second that the image is refreshed; it is also known
as the vertical frequency.
Note: Some graphic drivers require different steps; if the
steps below are not applicable to your system,
please refer to the documentation that came with
your video card.
On standard CRT displays, you want to use the
highest possible refresh rate supported by your
computer at the current screen resolution. This is
necessary to avoid screen flickering and to minimize
eyestrain. However, with your FX75 liquid crystal
display, flicker is not an issue. It is flicker-free at all
supported refresh rates.

Click Start on the taskbar.
2 Choose Settings and then select Control Panel.
Double-click the Display icon.
4 Click the Settings tab.
Click the Advanced button.
6 Click the Adapter tab.

The table in “FX75 Video Modes” on page 35 shows
the image refresh rates supported by the display
at different screen resolutions. Although the FX75
supports up to 85 Hz for analog video input, we
recommend that you use 75 Hz refresh rates for
best performance.

Minimizing Energy Use
Caring For and
Cleaning the Display
Many computers, including HP Pavilion PCs, support
industry standard power-save signaling techniques.
Power management features reduce the display’s
power consumption after a period of keyboard
inactivity.
To maximize screen life and prevent damage to the
liquid crystal display, HP recommends that you:
x Use the display power management system
(if available on your computer).
When the display is in a power-saving mode, the
screen is blank and the power indicator is amber.
Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse
restores the image in several seconds. Consult your
computer documentation for information about
setting the power-saving modes.
x If you don’t use a power management system,
turn off the display when you won’t be using it
for an extended period.
x Don’t press, rub, or poke the display with your
finger or other object.
Your FX75 display accepts the signals for the three
standard power-saving modes – Standby, Suspend,
and Sleep. For any of these conditions, the display
will go into Sleep mode.
x Handle your display with care.

cleaning solutions to clean the screen.
To clean the screen:
1
Shut down the computer.
2 Turn off and unplug the display.
3
Gently dust the screen with a dry, soft, lint-free
cloth.
Note: If the screen is still dirty, you can dampen
the cloth with several drops of distilled water.

FX75 Video Modes
The FX75 display supports the following industry-
standard combinations of screen resolution and
refresh rates. Other combinations are possible,
but may require adjustments to the image. (See
“Adjusting the Image” on page 22 for information
about making these adjustments.)
Note: The display is capable of going beyond these
recommended modes.
Unknown Video Modes
Displays are designed to work with standard video
modes. However, not all video cards use only
standard display modes.
For optimal performance, set your PC to a screen
resolution of 1024 x 768 at a 75 Hz refresh rate.
Your HP Pavilion FX75 display has state-of-the-art
technology which is designed to synchronize to any
display mode. We recommend choosing one of the
supported modes listed above. If you choose an
unknown mode, you will need to manually adjust
the phase, clock, and position.
