Revision #: 30 Page: 12 of 43 Printed: 10/16/00 03:31 PM If your computer doesnât use industry standard power-save signaling techniques, you can reduce power consumption by turning off the display when it wonât be used for an extended period. Y ou can turn the display off even if you leave the computer running. Wa r n i n g : To completely disconnect power from the display, you must remove the power cord from the wall socket and then remove the power cable from the display. Using Screen Savers Because of the technology used in L CD panels, screen savers will not pr olong the life of your FX75 display. If the display will not be used for an extended period, be sure to turn it off. Tilting the Display The display has a tilt feature that allows you to tilt the display back and forth to find the most comfortable viewing position. T o tilt the display, grasp the sides and push the display back or pull it toward you until it is in the desired position. The display can be tilted 35 degr ees backwar d and 5 degrees forward.

Revision #: 30 Page: 13 of 43 Printed: 10/16/00 03:31 PM Setting the Video Mode Since the inherent format of the FX 75 display is 1024 pixels by 768 lines, the display will perform best when your PC is set to a screen resolution of 1024 x 768. If you use a lower r esolution (such as 640 x 480), the image is expanded to fill the screen. Note: The scaling mode controls how the image fills the screen area; see âSelecting a Scaling Modeâ on page 24. Y our display supports many common video modes, as shown in âFX75 Video Modesâ on page 35. Check the documentation supplied with your computer and video adapter to find out which modes they support. T o set the video mode in Micr osoft Windows: 1 Click Start on the taskbar. 2 Choose Settings and then select Control Panel . 3 Double-click the Display icon. 4 Click the Settings tab. 5 Select the desired scre en resolution in the Scre en Are a field. 6 Click OK .

Revision #: 30 Page: 14 of 43 Printed: 10/16/00 03:31 PM Setting the Refresh Rate The image refre sh rat e is the number of times per second that the image is refr eshed; it is also known as the vertical frequency . On standard CRT displays, you want to use the highest possible refr esh rate supported by your computer at the current scr een resolution. This is necessary to avoid screen flick ering and to minimize eyestrain. However, with your FX75 liquid crystal display, flicker is not an issue. It is flick er-free at all supported refr esh ra tes. The table in âFX75 Video Modesâ on page 35 shows the image refr esh r ates supported by the display at different scr een resolutions. Although the FX75 supports up to 85 Hz for analog video input, we recommend that you use 75 Hz r efresh r ates for best performance. T o set the r efresh r ate with a standard Windows installation, follow the steps below. Note: Some graphic drivers require different steps; if the steps below are not applicable to your system, please refer to the documentation that came with your video card. 1 Click Start on the taskbar. 2 Choose Settings and then select Control Panel . 3 Double-click the Display icon. 4 Click the Settings tab. 5 Click the Advanced button. 6 Click the Adapter tab. 7 Select the desired vertical frequency in the Refresh r ate field. 8 Click OK . 9 Click OK again.

Revision #: 30 Page: 15 of 43 Printed: 10/16/00 03:31 PM Minimizing Energy Use Many computers, including HP Pavilion PCs, support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. Power management featur es reduce the displayâs power consumption after a period of k eyboard inactivity. When the display is in a power-saving mode, the screen is blank and the power indicator is amber. Pressing a k ey on the k eyboard or moving the mouse restores the image in several seconds. Consult your computer documentation for information about setting the power-saving modes. Y our FX75 display accepts the signals for the three standard power-saving modes â Standby, Suspend, and Sleep. For any of these conditions, the display will go into Sleep mode. Caring F or and Cleaning the Display T o maximize scr een life and pr event damage to the liquid crystal display, HP recommends that you: N Use the display power management system (if available on your computer). N If you donât use a power management system, turn off the display when you wonât be using it for an extended period. N Donât press, rub, or pok e the display with your finger or other object. N Handle your display with care.

Y ou can turn the display off even if you leave the computer running. Wa r n i n g : To completely disconnect power from the display, you must remove the power cord from the wall socket and then remove the power cable from the display. Using Screen Savers Because of the technology used in L CD panels, screen savers will not pr olong the life of your FX75 display. If the display will not be used for an extended period, be sure to turn it off. Tilting the Display The display has a tilt feature that allows you to tilt the display back and forth to find the most comfortable viewing position.

Revision #: 30 Page: 14 of 43 Printed: 10/16/00 03:31 PM Setting the Refresh Rate The image refre sh rat e is the number of times per second that the image is refr eshed; it is also known as the vertical frequency . On standard CRT displays, you want to use the highest possible refr esh rate supported by your computer at the current scr een resolution. This is necessary to avoid screen flick ering and to minimize eyestrain. However, with your FX75 liquid crystal display, flicker is not an issue. It is flick er-free at all supported refr esh ra tes. The table in âFX75 Video Modesâ on page 35 shows the image refr esh r ates supported by the display at different scr een resolutions. Although the FX75 supports up to 85 Hz for analog video input, we recommend that you use 75 Hz r efresh r ates for best performance. T o set the r efresh r ate with a standard Windows installation, follow the steps below. Note: Some graphic drivers require different steps; if the steps below are not applicable to your system, please refer to the documentation that came with your video card. 1 Click Start on the taskbar. 2 Choose Settings and then select Control Panel . 3 Double-click the Display icon. 4 Click the Settings tab. 5 Click the Advanced button. 6 Click the Adapter tab. 7 Select the desired vertical frequency in the Refresh r ate field. 8 Click OK . 9 Click OK again.

Revision #: 30 Page: 15 of 43 Printed: 10/16/00 03:31 PM Minimizing Energy Use Many computers, including HP Pavilion PCs, support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. Power management featur es reduce the displayâs power consumption after a period of k eyboard inactivity. When the display is in a power-saving mode, the screen is blank and the power indicator is amber. Pressing a k ey on the k eyboard or moving the mouse restores the image in several seconds. Consult your computer documentation for information about setting the power-saving modes. Y our FX75 display accepts the signals for the three standard power-saving modes â Standby, Suspend, and Sleep. For any of these conditions, the display will go into Sleep mode. Caring F or and Cleaning the Display T o maximize scr een life and pr event damage to the liquid crystal display, HP recommends that you: N Use the display power management system (if available on your computer). N If you donât use a power management system, turn off the display when you wonât be using it for an extended period. N Donât press, rub, or pok e the display with your finger or other object.
