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.
1.Remove the monitor panel from the pedestal base. Refer to 
Removing the Monitor Pedestal
Base on page 13 steps in the previous section.
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.
2.Remove the Quick Release from the pedestal base by removing the four screws.

Figure 3-16  Installing the Quick Release
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:
●an .INF (Information) file
●an .ICM (Image Color Matching) file
●auto-adjustment pattern utility
●additional software for the monitor model
Adobe Reader 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 18 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.
