D LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy The TFT monitor u ses high-precision techno logy, manufactured accordin g to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free performanc e. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small b right or dark sp ots. This is commo n to all LCD displays u sed in products supplied by all vendors and is no t specific to the HP LCD. Thes e imperfections are cause d by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels. â A pixel consists of one red, o ne green, and one blue sub-pixel. â A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a br ight spot on a dark background), or it is alwa ys off (a dark spot on a bright background). The first is the mo re visible of the two. â A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whol e pixel and is small and only visible on a spe cific background. To locate defective pixe ls, the monitor should b e viewed under no rmal operating co nditions, in no rmal operating mode at a supported resolu tion and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (20 in). HP expects that, over time , the industry will co ntinue to improve its ability to produce LCDs with fewer cosmetic imperfections and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made. ENWW 31

2 Safety and Maintenance Guidelines Important Safety Information A power cord is include d with the monitor. If ano ther cord is used, u se only a power source and connection app ropriate for this monitor. For informat ion on the co rrect power cord set to use wi th the monitor, refer to the Power Cord Set Requirements on page 28 in Appendix C. WARNING! To reduce th e risk of electric shock or damage to the eq uipment: ⢠Do not disable the power co rd gr ounding feature. The grounding plu g is an important safety feature. ⢠Plug the power cord in a grou nded (earthed ) ou tlet that is easily a c cessible at all times. ⢠Disconnect pow er from the pr oduct by unplu gging the power cord from the electrical outle t. For your safety, do not place anything on power cord s or cables. Arrange them so th at no one may accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electri cal outlet, grasp th e cord by the plug . To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety an d Comfort Guide . It describe s proper worksta tion, setup, posture, an d health and work h abits for computer users, and provides imp ortant electrical and mechanical safety informa tion. This guide is located on the Web at http://www.hp. com/ ergo and/or on the documenta tion CD, if one is included with the monitor. CAUTION: For th e protect ion of the mo nitor, as we ll as the comput er, connec t all powe r cords for the computer and its peri pheral devices (such as a mo ni tor, print er, scan ner) to s ome form of su rge protection devi ce such as a po we r strip or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Not all power strips provide surge protection; t he power strips must be spec ifically labeled as having this ability. Use a power strip whose manufactu rer offers a Damage Replac emen t Policy so you can re place the equipmen t, if surge protection fails. 2 Chapter 2 Safety and Maintena nce Guidelines ENWW
Maintenance Guidelines To enhance th e performance and extend the life of th e monitor: â Do not open the mo nitor cabinet or attempt to se rvice this product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered in th e operating instru ctio ns. If the monitor is not operating prope rly or has been dropp ed or damaged, contact an author ized HP dealer, reseller, or service provider. â Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as in dicated on the label/ back plate of the moni tor. â Be sure the total ampere rating of the produ cts connected to the o utlet does not exce ed the curre nt rating of the electrical outlet, an d the total ampere rating o f the products connected to th e cord does not exceed the rating of the cord. Look on the powe r label to determine the ampere rating (AMPS or A) for each device. â Install the mo nitor near an out let that you ca n easily reach. Disc onnect the monitor by gr asping the plug firmly and pulling it fr om the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord. â Turn the monitor off when not in use. You can su bstantially in crease the life expe ctancy of the monitor by u sing a screen saver p rogram and turning off the m onitor when n ot in use. NOTE: Moni tors with a âburned-in ima geâ are not covered unde r the HP warranty. â Slots and openings in the cabinet are p rovided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any ki nd into cabinet slots or other openings. â Do not drop the mon itor or place it on an unstable surface. â Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord. â Keep the monitor in a well-ventilated area, aw ay from excess ive light, he at or moistu re. â When removing the monitor stand, you must lay the monitor face down on a so ft area to preve nt it from getting scratc hed, defaced, or broken. Cleaning the Monitor 1. Turn off the m onitor and unplug the power cord from the b ack of the unit. 2. Dust the monitor b y wiping the screen and t he cabinet with a soft , clean antistatic cloth. 3. For more difficult cl eaning situations, use a 50/50 mix of water and Isopropyl alcoho l. CAUTION: Spray the cleaner onto a cloth and use the damp cloth to gently wipe the screen surfac e. Never spray the cleaner di rectly on the screen surface. It may run behind th e bezel and damage the electronics.

See Downloading from the World wide Web on page 10 in this chapter. The Information File The .INF file defines monitor res ources used by Mi crosoft Windows operating syst ems to ensure monitor compatibility with the comp uterâs grap hics adapter. This monitor is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play co mpatible and the monitor will work correctly without installing the .INF file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the comp uterâs graphic card is VESA DDC2âcompliant and that the m onitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does not work thro ugh separate BNC type conn ecto rs or through distribu tion buffers/boxes . The Image Color Matching File The .ICM files are data files that are used in co njunction with grap hics programs to provide consistent color matching from monitor screen to prin ter, or from scann er to monitor screen. This fi le is activated from within graphics programs that support this feature. NOTE: The ICM color profile is wri tten in accordance with the Intern ational Color Consortium (ICC) Profile Format specification. ENWW Software and Utilities 9

D LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy The TFT monitor u ses high-precision techno logy, manufactured accordin g to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free performanc e. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small b right or dark sp ots. This is commo n to all LCD displays u sed in products supplied by all vendors and is no t specific to the HP LCD. Thes e imperfections are cause d by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels. â A pixel consists of one red, o ne green, and one blue sub-pixel. â A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a br ight spot on a dark background), or it is alwa ys off (a dark spot on a bright background). The first is the mo re visible of the two. â A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whol e pixel and is small and only visible on a spe cific background. To locate defective pixe ls, the monitor should b e viewed under no rmal operating co nditions, in no rmal operating mode at a supported resolu tion and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (20 in). HP expects that, over time , the industry will co ntinue to improve its ability to produce LCDs with fewer cosmetic imperfections and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made. ENWW 31
