HP watermark and image retention policy
The monitor is designed with IPS (In-Plane Switching) display technology that provides ultra-wide viewing
angles and advanced image quality. IPS 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
xed images for long periods of time without the use of screen savers. These types of applications may
include camera surveillance, video games, marketing logos, and templates that are displayed on the screen
for a prolonged period of time. Static images may 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, either turn o the monitor when it is not in use or use the power
management setting, if supported on your system, to turn o the monitor when the system is idle.
