T echnical Specifications Bâ4 Userâ s Guide LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy for f1904 Monitor The HP f1904 TF T monitor uses high-precision technology , manufactured according to HP stan dards, to guarantee trouble-free per formance. Never theless, 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 f1904 displays. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels. â A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel. â 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. â 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 f1904 display does not have more than: â Less than 5 total dot defects â 0 defective full pixels â 3 defective bright sub-pixels (maximum) â 5 defective dark sub-pixels (maximum) â No more than two adjacent (l ess than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge) and defective pixels â No more than two pairs of two adjacent defective pixels T o locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions and in nor mal operating mode at a suppor ted resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in.). HP expects that, over time, the industr y will continue to improve its ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic imper fections and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.
T echnical Specifications Userâ s Guide Bâ5 Entering User Modes The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset if: â Y ou are not using a standard graphics adapter . â Y ou 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 . Y our changes can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memor y . The monitor automatically stores the ne w setting, then recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the 16 factor y preset modes, there are four user modes that can be entered and stored. Ener gy Saver Feature When the monitor is in its norm al operating mode, the monitor uses less than 40 watts of power and the Power light is green. The monitor also supports a re duced 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 ver tical sync signal. Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned o ff, 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 nor mal operating mode. Refer to your computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes called power management features). â The above energy saver feature works only when connected to computers that have energy saver features.

T echnical Specifications Bâ4 Userâ s Guide LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy for f1904 Monitor The HP f1904 TF T monitor uses high-precision technology , manufactured according to HP stan dards, to guarantee trouble-free per formance. Never theless, 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 f1904 displays. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels. â A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel. â 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. â 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 f1904 display does not have more than: â Less than 5 total dot defects â 0 defective full pixels â 3 defective bright sub-pixels (maximum) â 5 defective dark sub-pixels (maximum) â No more than two adjacent (l ess than 2.5 mm edge-to-edge) and defective pixels â No more than two pairs of two adjacent defective pixels T o locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions and in nor mal operating mode at a suppor ted resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in.). HP expects that, over time, the industr y will continue to improve its ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic imper fections and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.
T echnical Specifications Userâ s Guide Bâ5 Entering User Modes The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset if: â Y ou are not using a standard graphics adapter . â Y ou 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 . Y our changes can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memor y . The monitor automatically stores the ne w setting, then recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the 16 factor y preset modes, there are four user modes that can be entered and stored. Ener gy Saver Feature When the monitor is in its norm al operating mode, the monitor uses less than 40 watts of power and the Power light is green. The monitor also supports a re duced 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 ver tical sync signal. Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned o ff, 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 nor mal operating mode. Refer to your computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes called power management features). â The above energy saver feature works only when connected to computers that have energy saver features. By selecting settings in the monitorâ s Energy Saver utility , you can also program the monitor to enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitorâ s Energy Saver utility causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the Power light blinks amber .
