resolution.
Another message then appears to ask if you want to keep the monitor in power-saving mode or switch to
performance mode. 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 Vertical Alignment (VA) 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 fixed images for long periods of time, unless you
use screen savers.
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.

Connecting an HP notebook or desktop
You can attach a computer, notebook, gaming console, or similar device to the monitor with a single USB
Type-C connection. The USB Type-C port provides network, data, video, and power delivery when you
connect the device.
NOTE: Be sure that the network cable is connected from the network source jack to the monitors
network jack for a network connection through USB Type-C. The performance of the monitor might
depend on the host PC.
The host computer must be able to support DisplayPort Alt Mode (video, charging, and USB) over the
USB Type-C connector and must also be compatible with USB Type-C ports.
To connect a computer, connect one end of a USB Type-C cable to the USB Type-C port on the rear of
the monitor and the other end to the USB Type-C port on the computer. This USB Type-C cable provides
single-cable connectivity for high-speed data, audio and video, and power delivery.
NOTE: The monitor delivers up to 140 W of power over a USB Type-C connection. When connecting
the host computer via USB Type-C, DC power out does not need to be connected. Do not connect two
power sources (DC power out and USB Type-C) to the host computer.
Using USB Type-C mode
When a USB Type-C cable is connected to the computer and Alt mode is detected, the monitor switches
to USB Type-C mode and the following features are activated.
PXE boot: Preboot execution environment (PXE) boot enables you to load an operating system over a
network connection.
MAC Address Passthrough: Your computer might support MAC Address Passthrough from the on,
off, sleep, or hibernation states, or only when the computer is on or in the sleep state.
The MAC Address Passthrough is supported for UEFI PXE boot.
Wake on LAN (WOL): Your computer might support WOL from the off, sleep, or hibernation states, or
only when the computer is on or in the sleep state.

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.
Auto-sleep mode is disabled by default when power saver mode is activated. Turning on performance
mode enables the auto-sleep mode menu. When auto-sleep mode is enabled, 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).

Connecting a second computer to the monitor using the KVM function
The keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) function provides the capability to connect two computers to one
monitor with quick monitor access to either computer. It enables both monitors to be controlled using
one keyboard and one mouse.
To enable video input from a second computer, connect either a DisplayPort cable or an HDMI cable to
the appropriate connector on the rear of the monitor.
For example, connect one end of a DisplayPort cable to a DisplayPort connector on the rear of the
monitor, and the other end to a DisplayPort connector on the second computer. If the second computer
has only an HDMI port, connect one end of the HDMI cable to an HDMI port on the rear of the monitor,
and the other end to an HDMI port on the second computer.
To enable the USB connection to the second computer, connect a USB Type-B to USB Type-A cable to
the USB Type-B port on the monitor.
When the second computer is active, the monitor switches to the active input (HDMI or DisplayPort).
Multiple function support includes charging, USB, and display functions.
Toggle in KVM Mode
With two computers connected to one monitor and the KVM mode option selected, you can toggle back
and forth from one computer to the other by pressing the left ctrl key twice on the keyboard.
NOTE: Be sure that your keyboard is connected to the USB port on the bottom of the monitor. See
Rear components on page 7.
Using PiP, PbP, and VMD
The monitor supports Picture-in-Picture (PiP), where one source is overlaid on another, and Picture-by-
picture (PbP), where one source is positioned adjacent to another. Two images can be displayed in PiP
mode. Virtual Multiple Display (VMD) divides the display into up to three independent workspaces.

Chapter 3 Using the monitor
background
The monitor default setting for PbP is On. The Assign Inputs menu (inside the Split-Screen menu) is set to
Automatic.
When PbP is in automatic mode:
When you select PbP and the monitor has only one active input, the screen is in full-screen, single-
input mode. When a second active input is attached, the monitor automatically switches input to
split-screen PbP mode.
When you remove one of the two active inputs, the monitor switches back to full-screen mode. The
OSD button menu also changes along with full-screen vs. split-screen mode.
To switch the left/right video input location from the default, see the Assign Inputs menu located
under Split Screen, and then select Swap Left/Right screen locations, or select Manual to force a
specific input to each side of the PbP screen.
The USB Type-C upstream (host) connection is set to Auto-Switch USB Host by default. You can
manually change this setting along with the added option to bind a specific USB-C host to a specific
DisplayPort or HDMI input in the OSD USB Host menu located under Split Screen.
You can set PbP to On, Manual mode in the Assign Inputs menu (inside the Split-Screen menu). In this
mode, you can control which side of the screen each host computer appears on (left or right) and which
video source is assigned to each host computer. To change PbP to manual mode:
1. Connect a secondary input source to the monitor.
2. Press the center of the joypad to open the OSD.
3. In the OSD, select Input, select Viewing Mode, and then select PbP (Picture-by-Picture).
The monitor scans the secondary inputs for a valid signal input and uses that input for the PbP
picture.
4. To change the PbP input, select PbP in the OSD, and then select Assign Inputs.
5. To change the size of the PiP, select PiP Size in the OSD, and then select the size that you want.
6. To adjust the position of the PiP, select PiP Position in the OSD, and then select the position that you
want.
NOTE: If PbP is set to Off, the monitor displays the image from the host computer that is selected as
the active video input source in the Input OSD dialog. For more information about the OSD, see Using
the OSD menu on page 26.
If you decide to change PbP back to the default On, Automatic mode:
1. With two host computers connected to the monitor, press the center of the joypad to open the OSD.
For the location of the joypad, see Rear components on page 7.
2. In the OSD, select the Split-Screen menu, and then select PbP (Picture-by-Picture).
The Assign Inputs menu becomes active and you can select the Automatic option.
The monitor scans the secondary inputs for a valid video input source and uses that source for the
PbP image.
Connection priorities in KVM mode
When two monitors are in KVM mode, connection priorities are assigned.
Connection priorities in KVM mode
43
background
The following types of KVM mode connections are available:
Bind mode uses the current video input port even if the auto-switching USB host is disabled. If the
first computer is disconnected, the KVM mode setting switches to the second computer, provided it
is turned on.
In PiP or PbP mode, the KVM function offers primary input and secondary input. Each input can be
selected when PiP or PbP mode is enabled under OSD. The KVM function defaults to the primary
USB Type-C port (upstream) input, which offers both video and data. You can select a USB Type-B
port binding set with the DisplayPort or HDMI port.
If both computers are powered on and connected, the computer with the primary input connection
has priority over the other computer in PiP or PbP mode. If the primary input is disconnected and
other input port is active, the monitor switches to the active input, and the second binding set is the
USB input.

Appendix A Technical specifications
background
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

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 specific to various types of technologies, as well as
performance-based requirements which focus on functional capabilities of covered products. Specific
criteria cover software applications and operating systems, web-based information and applications,
computers, telecommunications products, video and multimedia, and self-contained closed products.

background
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 specifies 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 flexibility for innovation. WCAG 2.0 has also been approved as ISO/IEC 40500:2012.
WCAG specifically 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.
The HP policy landscape website provides information about key legislation, regulations, and standards
in the following locations:
