Turning on the monitor
This section provides important information about preventing damage to your monitor, startup indicators,
and troubleshooting information.
IMPORTANT: Burn-in image damage might occur on monitors that display the same static image on
the screen for 12 or more hours. To avoid burn-in image damage, you should always activate a screen
saver application or turn off the monitor when it will not be in use for a prolonged period of time. Image
retention is a condition that might occur on all LCD screens. Burn-in damage on the monitor is not
covered under the HP warranty.

When you rst turn on your monitor, a monitor status message is displayed for 5 seconds. The message
shows which input is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source setting (On or
Off; default setting is On), the current preset display resolution, and the recommended preset display
resolution.
Another message then appears to ask if you want to keep the monitor in power-saving mode or switch to
performance mode (select products only). You can choose which setting you prefer.
The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the display.
HP watermark and image retention policy
Some monitors are designed with In-Plane Switching (IPS) display technology, which provides ultrawide
viewing angles and advanced image quality. Though suitable for many applications, this panel technology
is not suitable for static, stationary, or xed images for long periods of time, unless you use screen savers.
Turning on the monitor
11
background
Applications with static images can include camera surveillance, video games, marketing logos, and
templates. Static images can cause image retention damage that could look like stains or watermarks on
the monitor’s screen.
Image retention damage on monitors that are in use 24 hours per day is 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 computer, to turn off the monitor when the computer is
idle.

Table 3-3 Color presets and descriptions
Color preset Description
FPS/RPG/RTS A high brightness preset that takes advantage of the native, wide gamut of the monitor.
Standard Recommended for general computing use.
Native This is the native color temperature and gamut of the LCD panel (no color processing or tuning is
performed).
Cinema Use this mode to watch movies. It should be set to industry standard values for SDR content.
Night Night mode is a low blue light preset that reduces the amount of blue spectral energy emitted by the
monitor. This color preset has a very warm color temperature (2856K).
HP Enhance+ The HP Enhance+ color submenu/preset adds an additional level of detail (sharpness and contrast) to
static images and motion video to enhance their appearance. The three user-selectable options are
Low, Medium, and High. The default is Medium.
RGB Gain Adjust Use this setting to adjust the color temperature of any color preset. RGB gain adjustments are stored
separately for each color preset.
Display mode status
When you turn on the monitor, the status message shows the display mode. The display mode is also
displayed when you change the video input.
The current display mode shows in the Information menu window and at the bottom of the OSD’s main
menu in the status bar area. Modes of operation vary by model. The most common modes are Normal and
AMD FreeSync.
To turn on the AMD FreeSync mode:
1. Press the center of the OSD controller to open the OSD.
2. In the OSD, select Gaming.
3. Select Variable Refresh Rate, and then select On.
Using auto-sleep mode
Your monitor has an energy-saving feature called auto-sleep mode, which is a reduced power state. This
section describes how to activate or adjust auto-sleep mode on your monitor.
When auto-sleep mode is enabled, which it is by default, the monitor enters a reduced power state when
the computer signals low-power mode, which it does by the absence of either a horizontal or vertical sync
signal.
Upon entering this reduced power state (auto-sleep mode), the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight
turns off, and the power light turns amber. The monitor draws less than 0.5 W of power when in this
reduced power state. The monitor wakes from auto-sleep mode when the computer sends an active signal
to the monitor, for example, when you activate the mouse or keyboard.
To disable auto-sleep mode in the OSD:
1. Press the Menu button to open the OSD, or press the center of the OSD controller to open the OSD.
2. In the OSD, select Power.

Maintaining the monitor5
Properly maintained, your monitor can run for many years. These instructions provide steps you can
perform to keep your monitor in the best condition.
Maintenance guidelines
Follow these instructions 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 or back
plate of the monitor.
● Be sure that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the
current rating of the AC outlet and that 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 rmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.
● Turn the monitor off when it is not in use, and use a screen saver program. Doing this can substantially
increase the life expectancy of the monitor.
NOTE: A burned-in image on the monitor is not covered under the HP warranty.
● Never block the slots or openings of the cabinet or push objects into them. These openings provide
ventilation.
● 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
Use these instructions to clean your monitor when necessary.
1. Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
2. Disconnect any external devices.
3. Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft, clean antistatic cloth.
CAUTION: Never spray cleaner directly onto the screen. It can run behind the bezel and damage
the electronics. Water dripping into the ventilation openings or other points of entry can cause
22
Chapter 5 Maintaining the monitor
background
damage to the monitor. Protect your monitor by always consulting your user guide for cleaning
procedures, or go to http://www.hp.com/support and search for How to Clean Your Computer.
IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaners that contain petroleum-based materials such as benzene,
thinner, or any volatile substance to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals might
damage the monitor.
IMPORTANT: Spray the cleaner onto a cloth and use the damp cloth to gently wipe the screen
surface. The cloth should be moist, but not wet. Allow the monitor to air-dry before use.
4. After you remove the dirt and debris, you can also clean the surfaces with a disinfectant. The

Energy saver feature
This monitor supports a reduced power state.
The reduced power state is 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 blank, the
backlight is turned off, and the power light turns amber. In the reduced power state, the monitor uses < 0.5
W of power. There is a brief warm-up period before the monitor returns to its normal operating state.
See the computer manual for instructions on setting the energy saver mode (sometimes called “power
management feature”).
NOTE: This power saver feature works only when the monitor is connected to a computer that has
energy-saver features.
By selecting the settings in the monitor Sleep Timer utility, you can also program the monitor to initiate the
reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor Sleep Timer utility initiates the reduced
power state, the power light blinks amber.

AccessibilityB
HP’s goal is to design, produce, and market products, services, and information that everyone everywhere
can use, either on a standalone basis or with appropriate third-party assistive technology (AT) devices or
applications.
HP and accessibility
Because HP works to weave diversity, inclusion, and work/life into the fabric of the company, it is reected
in everything HP does. HP strives to create an inclusive environment focused on connecting people to the
power of technology throughout the world.
Finding the technology tools you need
Technology can unleash your human potential. Assistive technology removes barriers and helps you
create independence at home, at work, and in the community. Assistive technology helps increase,
maintain, and improve the functional capabilities of electronic and information technology.
For more information, see Finding the best assistive technology on page 29.
The HP commitment
HP is committed to providing products and services that are accessible for people with disabilities.
This commitment supports the company’s diversity objectives and helps ensure that the benets of
technology are available to all.
The HP accessibility goal is to design, produce, and market products and services that can be effectively
used by everyone, including people with disabilities, either on a standalone basis or with appropriate
assistive devices.
To achieve that goal, this Accessibility Policy establishes seven key objectives to guide HP actions. All

Finding the best assistive technology
Everyone, including people with disabilities or age-related limitations, should be able to communicate,
express themselves, and connect with the world using technology. HP is committed to increasing
accessibility awareness within HP and with our customers and partners.
Whether it’s large fonts that are easy on the eyes, voice recognition that lets you give your hands a rest, or
any other assistive technology (AT) to help with your specic situation—a variety of assistive technologies
make HP products easier to use. How do you choose?
Assessing your needs
Technology can unleash your potential. AT removes barriers and helps you create independence at home,
at work, and in the community. AT helps increase, maintain, and improve the functional capabilities of
electronic and information technology.
You can choose from many AT products. Your AT assessment should allow you to evaluate several
products, answer your questions, and facilitate your selection of the best solution for your situation.
You will nd that professionals qualied to do AT assessments come from many elds, including those
licensed or certied in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language pathology, and other
areas of expertise. Others, while not certied or licensed, can also provide evaluation information. You will
want to ask about the individual’s experience, expertise, and fees to determine if they are appropriate for
your needs.

Standards and legislation
Countries worldwide are enacting regulations to improve access to products and services for persons
with disabilities. These regulations are historically applicable to telecommunications products and
services, PCs and printers with certain communications and video playback features, their associated
user documentation, and their customer support.
Standards
The US Access Board created Section 508 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards to
address access to information and communication technology (ICT) for people with physical, sensory, or
cognitive disabilities.
The standards contain technical criteria specic to various types of technologies, as well as performance-
based requirements which focus on functional capabilities of covered products. Specic criteria cover
software applications and operating systems, web-based information and applications, computers,
telecommunications products, video and multimedia, and self-contained closed products.
Mandate 376 – EN 301 549
The European Union created the EN 301 549 standard within Mandate 376 as an online toolkit for public
procurement of ICT products. The standard species the accessibility requirements applicable to ICT
products and services, with a description of the test procedures and evaluation methodology for each
requirement.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) from the W3C’s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) helps
web designers and developers create sites that better meet the needs of people with disabilities or
age-related limitations.
WCAG advances accessibility across the full range of web content (text, images, audio, and video)
and web applications. WCAG can be precisely tested, is easy to understand and use, and allows web
developers exibility for innovation. WCAG 2.0 has also been approved as ISO/IEC 40500:2012.
32
Appendix B Accessibility
background
WCAG specically addresses barriers to accessing the web experienced by people with visual, auditory,
physical, cognitive, and neurological disabilities, and by older web users with accessibility needs. WCAG
2.0 provides characteristics of accessible content:
● Perceivable (for instance, by addressing text alternatives for images, captions for audio, adaptability
of presentation, and color contrast)
● Operable (by addressing keyboard access, color contrast, timing of input, seizure avoidance, and
navigability)
● Understandable (by addressing readability, predictability, and input assistance)
● Robust (for instance, by addressing compatibility with assistive technologies)
Legislation and regulations
Accessibility of IT and information has become an area of increasing legislative importance.
