Mounting the Monitor 
The HP Quick Release can be removed from the pedestal base and installed to a mounting fixture. It 
allows you to quickly and securely attach the monitor panel to the mounting fixture. 
CAUTION  This monitor supports the VESA industry standard 100 mm mounting holes. 
To attach a third-party mounting solution to the monitor,  four 4 mm, 0.7 pitch, and 10 mm 
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 \
and is rated to 
support the weight of the monitor display panel. For best performance, it is important to 
use the power and video cables provided with the monitor.

CAUTION  The Quick Release can also be installed directly to a wall to mount the 
monitor panel. It is designed to support a maximum of  up to 24 lbs. (10.9 kg). If you are 
mounting to a wall, HP recommends that you consult with a qualified engineering, 
architectural, or construction professional to determine the appropriate type and quantity 
of mounting fasteners required for your application and to ensure that the mounting 
solution is properly installed to support applied loads. 
4.  Insert the monitor panel into the Quick Release, and then press down firmly on the monitor to 
lock it in place. When the Quick Release locks, it will make a clicking sound.

4  Operating the Monitor 
Software and Utilities 
The CD that comes with the monitor contains files you can install on the computer: 
● 
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 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.
