							Removing the Monitor Stand
If you are mounting the panel to a wall or other mounting fixture, you must remove the monitor stand
from the panel. The monitor has four mounting holes on the back side of the panel that adheres to the
VESA mounting standard.

party mounting solution to the monitor, four 4mm, 0.7 pitch, and 10mm long screws are required (not
provided with the monitor). Longer screws should not be used because they may damage the monitor.
It is important to verify that the manufacturer’s mounting solution is compliant with the VESA standard

							4 Operating the Monitor
Installing the Monitor Driver
The CD that comes with the monitor contains monitor driver files you can install on your computer:
●an .INF (Information) file
●an .ICM (Image Color Matching) file
PDF Complete is supplied on this CD and can be installed from the menu.
NOTE:If the monitor does not include a CD, the .INF and .ICM files can be downloaded from the HP
monitors support Web site. See 
Downloading from the Worldwide Web on page 11 in this chapter.
The Information File
The .INF file defines monitor resources used by Microsoft Windows operating systems to ensure monitor
compatibility with the computer’s graphics adapter.
This monitor is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play compatible and the monitor will work correctly without
installing the .INF file. Monitor Plug and Play compatibility requires that the computer’s graphic card is
VESA DDC2 compliant and that the monitor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does
not work through separate BNC type connectors or through distribution buffers/boxes.
The Image Color Matching File
The .ICM files are data files that are used in conjunction with graphics programs to provide consistent
color matching from monitor screen to printer, or from scanner to monitor screen. The .ICM file contains
a monitor color system profile. This file is activated from within graphics programs that support this
feature.
NOTE:The ICM color profile is written in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC)
Profile Format specification.

NOTE:You may need to install the digitally signed monitor .INF and .ICM files manually from the CD
in the event of an installation error. Refer to the Monitor Driver Software Readme file on the CD.
Downloading from the Worldwide Web
To download the latest version of .INF and .ICM files from the HP monitors support Web site:

Adjusting the Monitor
The monitor will unlikely require adjustment. However, variations in video output and application may
require adjustments to optimize the quality of the display.
For best performance, the monitor should be operating in native resolution, that is 1024 x 768 at 60 -75
Hz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1024 x 768 resolution. Operating in other
resolutions will degrade video performance.
All adjustments you make to the controls are automatically memorized. This feature saves you from
having to reset your choices every time you unplug or power your monitor off and on. If there is a power
failure, the monitor settings will not default to the factory specifications.
