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

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.

■
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 16
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 Power
light is green.
The monitor also supports a reduced power state. The reduced
power state is 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
blanks, the backlight turns off, and the Power light turns amber.
B–4
User’s Guide
Technical Specifications
When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the monitor
utilizes less than 2 watts of power. There is a brief warm up
period before the monitor returns 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’s 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.
