Safety and Maintenance  
Guidelines  
Important Safety Information  
A power cord is included with your 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  
your monitor, refer to the “Power Cord Set Requirements” section  
in Appendix C.  
ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your  
equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. This

Safety and Maintenance Guidelines  
ÄCAUTION: For the protection of your monitor, as well as your  
computer, connect all power cords for your computer and its  
peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, scanner) to some form  
of surge protection device such as a power strip or Uninterruptible  
Power Supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge protection;  
the power strips must be specifically labeled as having this ability.  
Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a Damage Replacement  
Policy so you can replace your equipment if surge protection fails.  
Maintenance Guidelines  
To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor:  
Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this  
product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered  
in the operating instructions. If your monitor is not operating  
properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your HP  
authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.  
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this  
monitor, as indicated on the label/back plate of the monitor.  
Be sure the total ampere rating of the products connected to  
the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the electrical  
outlet, and the total ampere rating of the products connected  
to the cord does not exceed the rating of the cord. Look on the  
power label to determine the ampere rating (AMPS or A) for  
each device.  
Install your 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 your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially  
increase the life expectancy of your monitor by using a screen  
saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.

files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics  
programs to provide consistent color matching from monitor  
screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. The .ICM  
file contains a monitor color system profile. This file is activated  
from within graphics programs that support this feature.  
The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the  
International Color Consortium (ICC) Profile Format  
specification.

For more precise adjustments, run the Adjustment Pattern  
provided on the CD and use the Clock and Clock Phase controls  
(accessible from the OSD menu) as described in the following  
section.  
Optimizing Digital Conversion  
This monitor contains advanced circuitry that allows the flat  
panel screen to function like a standard monitor. Two controls in  
the on-screen display can be adjusted to improve image  
performance: Clock and Clock Phase. Use these controls only  
when the auto-adjust function does not provide a satisfactory  
image.

settings are dependent on the main Clock setting.  
Clock—Increase/decrease the value to minimize any vertical  
bars or stripes visible on the screen background.  
Clock Phase—Increase/decrease the value to minimize video  
distortion or video jitter.  
When using the controls, you will obtain the best results by using  
the Auto-Adjustment pattern application provided on the CD.  
When adjusting the Clock and Clock Phase values, if the monitor  
images become distorted, continue adjusting the values until the  
distortion disappears. To restore the factory settings, select Yes  
from the Factory Reset menu in the on-screen display.

HP Display LiteSaver  
HP Display LiteSaver is a software application, available on the  
CD, that increases monitor life and saves energy. It allows you to  
place your monitor into its low power sleep mode at predefined  
times by shutting down or reducing power to most internal  
circuits. This helps protect the LCD panel against image  
retention. Image retention can occur when the monitor is left on  
while displaying the same image for an extended period of time,  
leaving a shadow of the image on the screen.  
Installing the HP Display LiteSaver Software  
1. Insert the CD in the computer CD-ROM Drive. The CD menu  
displays.  
2. Select “Install HP Display LiteSaver Software.”  
3. After installing the software, click the HP Display LiteSaver  
icon in the Windows system tray or right-click the icon and

The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that  
is not preset if:  
You are not using a standard graphics adapter.  
You are not using a preset mode.  
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the  
monitor screen by using the on-screen display. Your changes can  
be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The  
monitor automatically stores the new setting, then recognizes the  
new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the 15  
factory preset modes, there are four user modes that can be  
entered and stored.

Energy Saver Feature  
When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the monitor  
uses less than 40 watts of power and the Power light is green.  
The monitor also supports a reduced power state. The reduced  
power state will be entered into if the monitor detects the absence  
of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal.  
Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is  
blanked, the backlight is turned off, and the Power light is turned  
amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the  
monitor will utilize less than 2 watts of power. There is a brief  
warm up period before the monitor will return to its normal  
operating mode.  
Refer to your computer manual for instructions on setting energy  
saver features (sometimes called power management features).  
The above energy saver feature only works when connected to  
computers that have energy saver features.  
By selecting settings in the monitor’s Energy Saver utility, you  
can also program the monitor to enter into the reduced power  
state at a predetermined time. When the monitor’s Energy Saver  
utility causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the  
Power light blinks amber.

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.  
A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue  
sub-pixel.  
A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a bright spot on  
a dark background), or it is always off (a dark spot on a bright  
background). The first is the more visible of the two.  
A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a  
defective whole pixel and is small and only visible on a  
specific background.  
The HP display does not have more than:  
3 bright dots.  
5 dark dots.  
5 total bright and dark dots.  
No more than two adjacent (less than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge)  
defective pixels.  
User Guide  
D–1  
   
LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy  
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under  
normal operating conditions, in normal operating mode at a  
supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of  
approximately 50 cm (16 in.).  
HP expects that, over time, the industry will continue to improve  
its ability to produce LCDs with fewer cosmetic imperfections  
and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.
