Power Cord Set Requirements 
The monitor power supply is provided with automatic line switching (ALS). This feature allows the monitor to operate 
on input voltages in the range of 100–240V∿, 50 / 60 Hz, 1.5A. 
The power cord set (flexible cord or wall plug) received  with the monitor meets the requirements for use in the 
country/region where the equipment was purchased. 
If you need to obtain a power cord for a different country/region, you should purchase a power cord that is approved 
for use in that country/region. 
The power cord must be rated for the product and for the  voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical 
ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked 
on the product. In addition, t he cross-sectional area of the wire must be a minimum of 0.75 mm² or 18AWG, and the 
length of the cord must be between 4.94 ft (1.5 m) and 12  ft (3.6 m). If you have questions about the type of power 
cord to use, contact your HP -authorized service provider. 
A power cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon it or against it. 
Particular attention should be paid to the plug, electrical  outlet, and the point where the cord exits from the product.

							Plug and Play DDC2B Feature 
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the 
monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the leve l of DDC used, communicate additional 
information about its display capabilities. 
The DDC2B is a bi-directional data channel based on the I² C protocol. The host can request EDID information over 
the DDC2B channel. 
 
LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy 
 
The HP LCD Monitor uses high-precision technology, m anufactured according to high standards, to help guarantee 
trouble-free performance. Nevertheless, t he display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or 
dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in prod ucts supplied by all vendors and is not specific to the HP 
LCD Monitor. These imperfection s are caused by one or more defective pixels or subpixels. 
y  A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue subpixel. 
y  A defective whole pixel is always turned on (a bright spot  on a dark background), or it is always off (a dark spot on 
a bright background). The first is the more visible of the two. 
y  A defective subpixel (dot defect) is less visible t han a defective whole pixel and is small and only visible on a 
specific background. 
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions and in normal operating 
mode at a supported resolution and response rate, fr om a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in). 
We expect that, over time, the industry will continue to im prove its ability to produce displays with fewer cosmetic 
imperfections, and we will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.
