Adjusting Screen Quality
Allow the monitor to warm up for 20 minutes before performing the following procedures.
The Auto-Adjustment feature automatically fine-tunes the image quality each time a new video mode is
displayed. If additional image quality improvement is desired, run the Auto-Adjust software on the CD
and press the – (Minus) button on the monitor front panel to manually activate the Auto-Adjustment
function.
For more precise adjustments, use the HP Display Assistant utility or run the Adjustment Pattern
provided on the CD and use the Clock and Clock Phase controls (accessible from the OSD menu) as
described in the following section.
Optimizing Digital Conversion
Two controls in the on-screen display can be adjusted to improve image performance: Clock and Clock
Phase.
NOTE:The Clock must first be set correctly since the Clock Phase settings are dependent on the main
Clock setting. Use these controls only when the auto-adjustment function does not provide a satisfactory
image.
●Clock—Increases/decreases the value to minimize any vertical bars or stripes visible on the screen
background.
●Clock Phase—Increases/decreases the value to minimize video distortion or video jitter.
NOTE:When using the controls, you will obtain the best results by using the auto-adjustment pattern
software utility provided on the CD.
When adjusting the Clock and Clock Phase values, if the monitor images become distorted, continue
adjusting the values until the distortion disappears. To restore the factory settings, select Yes from the
Factory Reset menu in the on-screen display.

							Using the HP Display Assistant Utility
HP Display Assistant, included on the software and documentation CD, is a software utility that guides
you through the tuning process with easy to understand instructions and background patterns designed
for each monitor control. It provides:
●Accurate screen calibration through the use of step-by-step instruction Wizards to obtain the best
overall image quality
●Software control of the monitor image and color settings to eliminate dependence on the monitor’s
front panel buttons and On-Screen Display (OSD) menu
●Defined preset display settings for each individual user in a multi-user environment
●Multiple preset display settings for a single user based on content and ambient lighting
●Asset Management and Power Management capabilities that include remote control for individual
or a group of displays on the domain from a centralized console application
The HP Display Assistant Utility has two modes of operation: Wizard and OSD mode. The preferred
method of use is Wizard mode, which takes you through a step-by-step process to accurately calibrate
the monitor. This method relies on a sequence of steps that will obtain the best display results when
completed.
NOTE:Refer to the HP Display Assistant user guide or online help for additional information about the
software.

shutting down or reducing power to most internal circuits. This helps protect the LCD panel against
image retention. Image retention can occur when the monitor is left on while displaying the same image
for an extended period of time, leaving a shadow of the image on the screen.
