Adjusting the Monitor

  1. Tilt the monitor's panel forward or backward to set it to a comfortable eye level.
    Figure :
  2. Swivel the monitor to the left or right for the best viewing angle.
    Figure :
  3. Adjust the monitor's height so that it is parallel to your eye height for a comfortable viewing position. A lock-down/release button on the back of the column prevents the display head from sliding up when the monitor is lifted. If the display head is locked in the lowest height position:
    1. Make sure that the monitor is safely positioned on a stable surface.
    2. Gently push down on the display head (1).
    3. While pushing down the display head, press the lock-down/release button on the back of the column (2).
    4. Guide the display head up to the desired height (3).
    Figure :
  4. Raise the monitor panel to its highest position and pivot the monitor clockwise from landscape to portrait orientation viewing to adapt to your application.
    note:
    It may be necessary to tilt the monitor panel back to prevent the corner of the panel from coming in contact with the base when pivoting.
    Figure :
    note:
    To view information on the screen in portrait mode, you will need to install the Pivot Pro software included on the software and documentation CD. The position of the OSD menu can also be rotated to portrait mode. To rotate the OSD menu, press the Menu button on the monitor's front panel, then select OSD Control > Rotate OSD.

Turning on the Monitor

  1. Ensure that the master power switch on the rear of the monitor is in the On position.
  2. Press the power button on the computer to turn it on.
  3. Press the power button on the front of the monitor to turn it on.
  caution:
Burn-in image damage may occur on monitors that display the same static image on screen for a prolonged period of time.* To avoid burn-in image damage on the monitor screen, you should always activate a screen saver application or turn off the monitor when it is not in use for a prolonged period of time. Image retention is a condition that may occur on all LCD screens. Monitors with a “burned-in image” are not covered under the HP warranty.
* A prolonged period of time is 12 consecutive hours of non-use.
note:
If pressing the power button has no effect, the Power Button Lockout feature may be enabled. To disable this feature, press and hold the monitor power button for 10 seconds.
note:
You can disable the power LED in the OSD menu. Press the Menu button on the front of the monitor, then select Management > Bezel Power LED > Off.
When the monitor is powered on, a Monitor Status message is displayed for five seconds. The message shows which input (DisplayPort, DVI, or VGA) is the current active signal, the status of the auto-switch source setting (On or Off; factory default is On), the default source signal (factory default is DisplayPort), the current preset display resolution, and the recommended preset display resolution.
The monitor automatically scans the signal inputs for an active input and uses that input for the display. If two or more inputs are active, the monitor will display the default input source. If the default source is not one of the active inputs, then the monitor will display the highest ranking priority input in the following order: DisplayPort, DVI, then VGA. You can change the default source in the OSD by pressing the front panel menu button and selecting Source Control > Default Source.

Removing the Monitor Pedestal Base

You can remove the monitor panel from the pedestal base to mount the panel on a wall, a swing arm, or other mounting fixture (purchased separately).
