2 Setting Up the Monitor

To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor, computer system, and other
attached devices, then follow the instructions below.

Attaching the Monitor Base

1. Lift the base from the monitor box and set it on a flat surface such as a table top.
2. Using both hands, lift the monitor from its box, position the pedestal over the base, and press
down firmly to lock it in place. Be sure the base is securely locked in place and adjust the tilt
angle to the desired position.
CAUTION: Do not touch the surface of the LCD panel. Pressure on the panel may cause non-
uniformity of color or disorientation of the liquid crystals. If this occurs the screen will not recover to its
normal condition.

Figure 2-3 Removing the Cable Management Clip

3. Connect a VGA signal cable or DVI-D signal cable (select models).

NOTE: The monitor is capable of supporting either analog or digital input (select models). The
video mode is determined by the video cable used. The monitor will automatically determine
which inputs have valid video signals. The inputs can be selected by pressing the +/source
button on the front panel or through the On-Screen Display (OSD) feature by pressing the Menu
button.
● For analog operation, use the VGA signal cable provided. Connect the VGA signal cable to
the VGA connector on the rear of the monitor and the other end to the VGA connector on
the computer.
● For DVI digital operation, use the DVI-D signal cable provided. Connect the DVI-D signal
cable to the DVI connector on the rear of the monitor and the other end to the DVI
connector on the computer.
4. Connect one end of the provided audio cable to the audio connector on the monitor and connect
the other end of the cable to an audio output connector on the rear panel of the computer (select
models).

 5. Connect one end of the power cord to the AC power connector on the back of the monitor, and
the other end to an electrical wall outlet.
Figure 2-4 Connecting the Cables

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:

Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
times.
Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet.
For your safety, do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one
may accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from
the electrical outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
6. Secure the cables in place with the cable management clip. Press the clip straight down on the
curved neck of the pedestal ensuring that the tabs on the sides of the clip snap into the slots on
the pedestal.

Turning on the Monitor

1. Press the power button on the computer to turn it on.
2. 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 (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 VGA), 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: 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 install the panel on a wall, a swing arm,
or other mounting fixture.
CAUTION: Before beginning to disassemble the monitor, be sure the monitor is turned off and the
power and signal cables are both disconnected.
1. Disconnect and remove the signal and power cables from the monitor.
2. Lay the monitor face down on a flat surface covered by a clean, dry cloth.
3. Remove the four pedestal neck screws (1) and lift the pedestal neck (2) off of the monitor panel.
Figure 2-8 Removing the Pedestal Neck Screws

Mounting the Monitor

The monitor panel can be attached to a wall, swing arm, or other mounting fixture.
NOTE: This apparatus is intended to be supported by UL or CSA Listed wall mount bracket.

1. Remove the monitor panel from the pedestal base. Refer to Removing the Monitor Pedestal
Base on page 9.
CAUTION: This monitor supports the VESA industry standard 100 mm mounting holes. To
attach a third-party mounting solution to the monitor, four 4 mm, 0.7 pitch, and 10 mm long
screws are required. Longer screws must not be used because they may damage the monitor. It
is important to verify that the manufacturer’s mounting solution is compliant with the VESA
standard and is rated to support the weight of the monitor display panel. For best performance, it
is important to use the power and video cables provided with the monitor.

 2. To attach the monitor to a swing arm, insert four 10mm screws through the holes on the swing
arm plate and into the mounting holes on the monitor.
Figure 2-9 Mounting the Monitor

To attach the monitor to other mounting fixtures, follow the instructions included with the
mounting fixture to ensure that the monitor is safely attached.
