It 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 recognized the new mode just as it does a preset mode.
Energy Saver Feature
When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the monitor uses less than 28 watts and the Power
light is green or blue.
20 Appendix B Technical Specifications
ENWW
The monitor also supports a power saver mode that is controlled by the computer. When the monitor is
in the reduced-power state, the monitor screen is blank, the backlight is off, and the Power light is amber.
The monitor uses minimum power. When the monitor is “awakened,” a brief warm-up period occurs
before the monitor returns to normal operating mode. The energy-saving reduced power state activates
if the monitor does not detect either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical sync signal. The power-
saver feature must be activated on your computer for this feature to work.
Refer to the computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes called power
management features).
NOTE: The above power saver feature only works when connected to computers that have energy
saver features.
By selecting the settings in the monitor's power saver feature, you can also program the monitor to enter
into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's power saver feature causes
the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.
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.

D 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.
●
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 (20
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.
