HP Watermark and Image Retention Policy The ADS monitor models are designed with ADS (Advanced Super Dimension Switch ) display technology which provides ultra-wide viewing angles and advanced image quality. ADS 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.

Using the auto-adjustment function (analog input) When you first set up the monitor, conduct a Factory Reset of the computer, or change the resolution of the monitor, the Auto-Adjustment feature automatically engages, and attempts to optimize your screen for you. You may also optimize the screen performance for the VGA (analog) input at any time by using the auto button on the monitor (see your model’s user guide for the specific button name) and the autoadjustment pattern software utility on www.hp.
Optimizing image performance (analog input) Two controls in the on-screen display can be adjusted to improve image performance: Clock and Phase (available in the OSD menu). NOTE: You may need to install the digitally signed monitor .INF and .ICM files from www.hp.com/support in the event of an installation error. The Clock must first be set correctly since the Phase settings are dependent on the main Clock setting.
2. Press the Function buttons on the bottom of the front bezel that display up and down arrow icons to properly adjust the position of the image in the display area of the monitor. The Horizontal Position shifts the image left or right; the Vertical Position shifts the image up and down. Button lockouts Holding down the Power button or Menu button for ten seconds will lock out the functionality of that button. You can restore the functionality by holding the button down again for ten seconds.
Locating the serial number and product number The serial number and product number are located on a label on the back of the display. You may need these numbers when contacting HP about the monitor model. NOTE: You may need to partially pivot the display head to read the label.
