Safety and Maintenance Guidelines: HP w19 LCD Monitor
Important Safety Information
The power cord is designed for use with your monitor. To use a different cord, use only a power source and
connection compatible with this monitor. For information on the correct power cord set to use with your monitor, see
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable the
power cord grounding feature. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. Connect the
equipment to a grounded (earthed) power outlet.
WARNING: For your safety, be sure that the grounded power outlet you plug the power cord into is
easily accessible to the operator and located as close to the equipment as possible. To disconnect
power from the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by grasping the plug
firmly. Never pull on the cord.
CAUTION: To protect your monitor, as well as your PC, connect all power cords for your PC and its
peripheral devices (such as a monitor, printer, or scanner) to a surge protection device such as a
power strip with surge protection 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.
Safety Precautions
• Avoid applying pressure to the LCD screen; doing so can cause damage.
• Use only a power source and connection compatible with 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.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
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. If your monitor is not operating
properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your HP authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
• Adjust only those controls that are described in the operating instructions.
• Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of your monitor by using a
screen saver and turning off the monitor when not in use.
• Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, or moisture.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or covered.
Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
• Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Do not drop your monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
• When removing the monitor pedestal base, you must lay the monitor face down on a soft area to prevent it from
getting scratched, defaced, or broken.
Cleaning the Monitor
The monitor is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when cleaning. To clean the monitor, follow
these steps:
1 Turn off the PC and the monitor.
2 Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any volatile substances to clean the monitor
screen or cabinet. These chemicals may damage the monitor. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Never use water to clean an LCD screen.
3 Wipe the screen with a dry, soft, clean cloth.
• If the screen requires additional cleaning, use an antistatic screen cleaner.
4 Dust the monitor housing. Use a damp cloth to clean the cabinet.
• If the cabinet requires additional cleaning, use a clean cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
5 Plug in the monitor.
6 Turn on the monitor and the PC.

Power Cord Set Requirements
The monitor power supply is provided with automatic line switching (ALS). This feature allows the monitor to operate
on input voltages between 100–120Vꢀ or 200–240Vꢀ.
The power cord set (flexible cord or wall plug) received with the monitor meets the requirements for use in the
country/region where you purchased the equipment.
If you need to obtain a power cord for a different country/region, you should purchase a power cord that is approved
for use in that country/region.
The power cord must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical
ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked
on the product. In addition, the cross-sectional area of the wire must be a minimum of 0.75 mm² or 18AWG, and the
length of the cord must be between 4.94 ft. (1.5 m) and 12 ft. (3.6 m). If you have questions about the type of power
cord to use, contact your HP-authorized service provider.
A power cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon it or against it.
Particular attention should be paid to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord exits from the product.

Plug & Play DDC2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor
to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information
about its display capabilities.
The DDC2B is a bi-directional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the
DDC2B channel.
LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy: HP w19 LCD Monitor
The HP LCD Monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured according to high standards, to help 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 Monitor. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or subpixels.
• A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue subpixel.
• 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 subpixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whole pixel and is small and only visible on a
specific background.
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions and in normal operating
mode at a supported resolution and response rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in).
We expect that, over time, the industry will continue to improve its ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic
imperfections, and we will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.
