Follow the instructions in this chapter to install your HP Pavilion FX75 Flat Panel Display. Note: Before connecting your display, first read through the instructions in this chapter and the safety precautions in the previous chapter. Unpacking the Display Positioning the Display Place the display on a flat, sturdy surface. Choose an area free from excessive heat, moisture, and sunlight. Avoid possible sources of electromagnetic interference, such as transformers, motors, and fluorescent lighting.
Connecting the Power and Video Cables 2 Connect the power cable to the power jack on the back of the display. Before connecting any cables, make sure that the computer and display are turned off. To connect the power and video signal cables: 1 Locate the A/C power adapter with attached power cable. Power jack Analog Video Input port Digital Video Input port 6 HP Pavilion FX75 Flat Panel Display User’s Guide Filename: fx75UGrw.doc Title: Book Title Template: HP-Print.dot Author: WASSER, Inc.
3 Plug the two-prong power cord into a power outlet, and plug the other end into the A/C power adapter. 6 Thread the cables through the cable claw at the base of the display. 4 Plug the analog video signal cable into the Analog Video Input port on the back of the display. (The port’s label is colored blue to match the blue mark on the cable plug.) Note: The display also offers a DVI Digital Video Input port.
Connecting the Stereo Speaker System To connect the stereo speaker system to your computer: Built into the base of the display is a set of passive Polk Audio® stereo speakers with a Power Port for enhanced bass performance. 1 Locate the audio cable. Note: 8 These speakers are designed to work with sound cards that have amplified sound output; most HP Pavilion PCs have this type of sound card. Refer to your PC specifications for information about your sound card.
2 Connect the speakerbase plug on the audio cable to the speaker input jack on the back of the display. (The jack is colored blue to match the cable plug.) 3 Insert the speaker port plug on the audio cable into the speaker port on your computer. If you have an HP Pavilion PC, the speaker plug is color-coded to match the port label on the PC. (For other PCs, check the computer documentation if you’re not sure where the port is located.

This chapter contains information about using your HP Pavilion FX75 Flat Panel Display. Turning the Display On and Off Use the Power button on the front of the display to turn the display on and off. When the display is on, the light near the Power button is illuminated. The light is green when the display and computer are active and amber when the display is in a reduced power mode.
If your computer doesn’t use industry standard power-save signaling techniques, you can reduce power consumption by turning off the display when it won’t be used for an extended period. You can turn the display off even if you leave the computer running. Warning: To completely disconnect power from the display, you must remove the power cord from the wall socket and then remove the power cable from the display.
Setting the Video Mode To set the video mode in Microsoft Windows: Since the inherent format of the FX75 display is 1024 pixels by 768 lines, the display will perform best when your PC is set to a screen resolution of 1024 x 768. If you use a lower resolution (such as 640 x 480), the image is expanded to fill the screen. 1 Click Start on the taskbar.
Setting the Refresh Rate The image refresh rate is the number of times per second that the image is refreshed; it is also known as the vertical frequency. On standard CRT displays, you want to use the highest possible refresh rate supported by your computer at the current screen resolution. This is necessary to avoid screen flickering and to minimize eyestrain. However, with your FX75 liquid crystal display, flicker is not an issue. It is flicker-free at all supported refresh rates.
Minimizing Energy Use Many computers, including HP Pavilion PCs, support industry standard power-save signaling techniques. Power management features reduce the display’s power consumption after a period of keyboard inactivity. When the display is in a power-saving mode, the screen is blank and the power indicator is amber. Pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse restores the image in several seconds. Consult your computer documentation for information about setting the power-saving modes.
Cleaning the Screen Your LCD module is a high-quality optical device that requires special care when cleaning. Warning: Don’t use liquid, aerosol, or abrasive cleaning solutions to clean the screen. To clean the screen: 1 Shut down the computer. 2 Turn off and unplug the display. 3 Gently dust the screen with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Note: If the screen is still dirty, you can dampen the cloth with several drops of distilled water.

Although the other functions appear on the OSD menus, they are unnecessary for digital input and will not operate.
Using Auto Setup Whenever you apply a new video mode or change the refresh rate, the FX75 will automatically adjust the display for the new setting. However, the Auto Setup feature ensures optimal performance, and can be run whenever you change these settings. 4 Press the + or — buttons to highlight an option or to change the current setting. 5 Press the Select button to execute your selection. 6 To close an OSD window, select the Exit option or wait for the window to close automatically.

Saving and Restoring Color Settings You can freely adjust the color options as much as you like, and experiment with different combinations of settings.
The Restore Color Settings option reverts to the set of color settings you last saved with the Save option. It restores the settings you previously saved for gamma correct, color temperature, RGB levels, and black levels.

If you have cables plugged into the analog and digital ports, the analog port is used by default.
Troubleshooting My display doesn’t work, even though the computer appears to work. N Make sure the power cable is securely plugged into the display. N Make sure the display is turned on. N Check the cable connection between the display and the computer. The cable connectors must be pushed in all the way. The message “Check Cable” appears on my display. N Try turning the display off and then back on. This message appears when the video cable is not properly connected to the computer.
The message “Unknown Mode Detected” appears on my display. Your computer’s display settings for screen resolution and refresh rate are set to values that are inappropriate for your FX75 display. See “FX75 Video Modes” on page 35 for a table of supported modes. I don’t hear any sound coming from the built-in speakers. N Make sure the audio cable is plugged into the speaker port on the back of the display and into the speaker port on your computer. N Make sure headphones are not plugged into your system.
