    Operating the Monitor 
    For more precise adjustments, 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 
    This monitor contains advanced circuitry that allows the flat 
    panel screen to function like a standard monitor. Two controls in 
    the on-screen display can be adjusted to improve image 
    performance: Clock and Clock Phase. Use these controls only 
    when the auto-adjust function does not provide a satisfactory 
    image. 
    ✎ The Clock must first be set correctly since the Clock Phase 
    settings are dependent on the main Clock setting. 
    ■�Clock—Increase/decrease the value to minimize any vertical 
    bars or stripes visible on the screen background. 
    ■�Clock Phase—Increase/decrease the value to minimize video 
    distortion or video jitter. 
    ✎ When using the controls, you will obtain the best results by using 
    the Auto-Adjustment pattern application 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.

    rate are set higher than the monitor supports. For 15” 
    monitors, set the resolution and refresh rate to 1024 x 768 at 
    60 Hz. For 17” and 19” monitors, set the resolution and

    time every day. This also extends the life of the backlight bulbs in 
    the monitor. The Sleep Timer has five settings: 
    ■�Set Current Time

    HP Display LiteSaver (Available with 
    Select Models) 
    HP Display LiteSaver is a software application, available on the 
    CD, that increases monitor life and saves energy. It allows you to 
    place your monitor into its low power sleep mode at predefined 
    times by 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. 
    Installing the HP Display LiteSaver Software 
    1. Insert the CD in the computer CD-ROM Drive. The CD menu 
    displays. 
    2. Select “Install HP Display LiteSaver Software.” 
    3. After installing the software, click the HP Display LiteSaver 
    icon in the Windows system tray or right-click the icon and 
    select Configure... from the pop-up menu.
