HP watermark and image retention policy

The IPS monitor models are designed with IPS (In-Plane Switching) display technology which provides ultra-
wide viewing angles and advanced image quality. IPS monitors are suitable for a wide variety of advanced
image quality applications. This panel technology, however, is not suitable for applications that exhibit static,
stationary, or fixed images for long periods of time without the use of screen savers. These types of
applications may include camera surveillance, video games, marketing logos, and templates that are
displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time. Static images may cause image retention damage that
could look like stains or watermarks on the monitor's screen.
Monitors in use for 24 hours per day that result in image retention damage are not covered under the HP
warranty. To avoid image retention damage, always turn off the monitor when it is not in use or use the power
management setting, if supported on your system, to turn off the monitor when the system is idle.

Software and utilities

You can download and install the following files to your computer from http://www.hp.com/support.
● INF (Information) file
● ICM (Image Color Matching) files (one for each calibrated color space)
● User Guide

The Information file

The INF file defines monitor resources used by Windows® operating systems to ensure monitor compatibility
with the computer’s graphics adapter.
This monitor is Windows Plug and Play–compatible and the monitor will work correctly without installing the
INF file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s graphic card is VESA DDC2-
compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does not work through
separate BNC type connectors or through distribution buffers/boxes.

The Image Color Matching file

The ICM files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent color
matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. This file is activated from within
graphics programs that support this feature.

NOTE: The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC) Profile
Format specification.

Guide also provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. The Safety & Comfort Guide is
available on the Web at http://www.hp.com/ergo.

Using Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-beside-Picture (PBP)

The monitor supports both PIP, where one source is overlaid over another, and PBP, where one source is
positioned adjacent to another either horizontally (for landscape orientation) or vertically (for portrait
orientation).

NOTE: Using HDMI and USB-C inputs at the same time for PIP or PBP is not supported.

To use PIP or PBP:

1. Connect a secondary input source to the monitor.
2. Press the Menu button to open the OSD.
3. In the OSD, select Enable PIP and then select either Picture-in-Picture or 2x1 Dual Split (PBP).
4. The monitor will scan the secondary inputs for a valid input and use that input for the PIP/PBP picture. If
you want to change the PIP/PBP input, select Assign Inputs in the OSD and select the desired input.
5. If you want to change the size of the PIP, select PIP Size in the OSD then select the desired size.

DisplayPort multistreaming
If you are using DisplayPort as the primary video input source, you can multistream to other DisplayPort
monitors connected in a daisy chain configuration. You can connect up to four monitors in this configuration if
supported by the graphics card.
To use DisplayPort multistreaming:
1. Make sure that DisplayPort is used for your primary video input.

Using Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-beside-Picture (PBP) 17

 2. Add a second monitor by connecting a DisplayPort cable between the DisplayPort OUT connector on the
primary monitor and the DisplayPort input connector on a secondary multistream monitor or the
DisplayPort input connector on a secondary non-multistream monitor.

3. You can set the connected monitor to display the same image as the primary monitor or a different
image. In the OSD for the connected monitor, select Input Control, select DisplayPort Mode, and then
select one of the following:
a. DisplayPort 1.1: allows the same video image to be sent to all monitors downstream of the
monitor you are configuring
b. DisplayPort 1.2 (default): allows a different image to be sent to all monitors downstream of the
monitor you are configuring
4. After setting the DisplayPort Mode in the OSD, use the computer operating system's display settings to
set the display mode for the secondary monitor to either mirror the image of the primary monitor or
extend the second monitor for a different image from the primary monitor.
If you wish to connect additional monitors downstream (up to four maximum), all but the final monitor in the
chain must support DisplayPort multistreaming.
Connect from the DisplayPort OUT of one monitor to the DisplayPort input of the next monitor, until you have
the desired number of monitors.
If you want different information on each screen be sure that all upstream monitors are configured to
DisplayPort 1.2 mode, as described above.
The number of monitors you can connect through DisplayPort multistreaming depends on a number of
factors, including the resolutions and scan rates used for each monitor and the capabilities of your GPU or
embedded graphics system. Check the manual that came with your graphics card for further information on
its capabilities.

Resolution Multistreaming maximum displays quantity

1280 x 720 4

1920 x 1200 3

2560 x 1440 2

18 Chapter 2 Using the monitor

Using Auto-Sleep Mode
The monitor supports an OSD (on-screen display) menu option called Auto-Sleep Mode that allows you to
enable or disable a reduced power state for the monitor. When Auto-Sleep Mode is enabled (enabled by
default), the monitor will enter a reduced power state when the host computer signals low power mode
(absence of either horizontal or vertical sync signal).
Upon entering this reduced power state (sleep mode), the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned
off, and the power LED indicator turns amber. The monitor draws less than 0.5 W of power when in this
reduced power state. The monitor will wake from the sleep mode when the host device sends an active signal
to the monitor (for example, if you activate the mouse or keyboard).
You can disable Auto-Sleep Mode in the OSD. Press the Menu button to open the OSD, and then select Power
Control, select Auto-Sleep Mode, and then select Off.

 4 Maintaining the monitor

Maintenance guidelines
To enhance the performance and extend the life of the monitor:
● Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those controls
that are covered in the operating instructions. If the monitor is not operating properly or has been
dropped or damaged, contact an authorized HP 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 the 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.
● Turn the monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of the monitor
by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when not in use.

NOTE: Monitors with a “burned-in image” are not covered under the HP warranty.

● Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
● Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
● Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
● Keep the monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat or moisture.

Cleaning the monitor

1. Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
2. Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft, clean antistatic cloth.
3. For more difficult cleaning situations, use a 50/50 mix of water and Isopropyl alcohol.

IMPORTANT: Spray the cleaner onto a cloth and use the damp cloth to gently wipe the screen surface. Never
spray the cleaner directly on the screen surface. It may run behind the bezel and damage the electronics.
IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaners that contain any petroleum-based materials such as benzene, thinner, or
any volatile substance to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals may damage the monitor.

Shipping the monitor

Keep the original packing box in a storage area. You may need it later if you move or ship the monitor.

 Entering user modes
Under the following conditions, the video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset:
● You are not using a standard graphics adapter.
● You are not using a preset mode.
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 and then recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the
factory preset modes, there are at least 10 user modes that can be entered and stored.

Energy saver feature

The monitors support a reduced power state. The reduced power state will be initiated if the monitor detects
the absence of either the horizontal sync signal or the vertical sync signal. Upon detecting the absence of
these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned off, and the power light turns amber.
When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the monitor will utilize 0.5 watts of power. There is a brief
warm-up period before the monitor returns to its normal operating mode.
Refer to the computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes called power
management features).

NOTE: The energy saver feature only works when the monitor is connected to a computer that has energy
saver features.

By selecting the settings in the monitor's Energy Saver utility, you can also program the monitor to initiate the
reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's Energy Saver utility causes the monitor to
initiate the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.
