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

NOTE: If the monitor does not include a CD, the .INF and .ICM files can be downloaded from the HP

The Information File
The .INF file defines monitor reso urces used by Microsoft Windows ope rating systems to ensure monitor
compatibility with the com puter’s graphics adapter.
This monitor is Microsoft Windows Plug and Play co mpatible and the monitor will work correctly without
installing the .INF file. Monitor Plug and Play compat ibility requires that the computer’s  graphic card is
VESA DDC2–compliant and that the moni tor connects directly to the graphics card. Plug and Play does
not work through separate BNC type connec tors or through distribution buffers/boxes.
The Image Color Matching File
The .ICM files are data files that are used in co njunction with graphics programs to provide consistent
color matching from monitor screen to printer, or fr om 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 writte n in accordance with the International Color Consortium (ICC)
Profile Format specification.
