HP Zr2040w User Guide

							CAUTION:The HP Quick Release 2 can be installed directly to a wall to mount the monitor panel. It
is designed to support a maximum of up to 10.9 kg (24 lbs). 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.
The weight for your model can be found in Technical Specifications on page 29.
Before you begin, make sure the monitor is turned off and the power and signal cables are
disconnected. Also disconnect any USB cables. To protect the panel, lay it face down on a soft, flat
surface.
Mounting the ZR2040w Panel
1.Remove the four screws holding the panel to the pedestal.
2.To mount the panel, use the four holes surrounding the HP logo on the back of the monitor.

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. Longer screws must 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.
3.If you mount the panel in portrait orientation, you will need to rotate the image to match. See

3.Press the power button on the front of the monitor to turn it on.
CAUTION:Burn-in image damage may occur on monitors that display the same static image on
screen for a prolonged period of time (12 consecutive hours of non-use). To avoid burn-in image
damage on the monitor screen, you should always activate a screen saver application or sleep timer,
or turn off the monitor when it is unused for a long time. Image retention is a condition that may occur
on all LCD screens. Monitors with a “burned-in image” are not covered under the HP warranty.
NOTE:If pressing the power button has no effect, the Power Button Lockout feature may be
enabled. To disable this feature, press and hold the monitor power button for 10 seconds.
You may see a status message or an image on the screen. The LED on the front panel will turn blue.

							3 Operating the Monitor
Overview of Operation
If you are not familiar with HP Performance monitors, read this section for an overview of how they
operate. This will help you locate specific information elsewhere in this manual.
Your monitor provides for more than one source of input. It will scan the various inputs to find an
active one and display that image. You can change sources manually, using the SOURCE button on
the front panel. The scanning order is initially set to DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDMI, VGA, making
DisplayPort the default source of video.
Some models give you control of the scanning order and default source through an On-Screen
Display (OSD) menu. If your front panel has a menu (
) button, it provides an OSD. The OSD also
lets you prevent the monitor from switching sources.
If the monitor is not receiving any input, it will go into low power mode (“sleep”) and the LED on the
front will turn from blue to amber. This means that the monitor will sleep when the computer does,
unless it has some other source of input. You can send it into low-power mode using the power (
)
button on the front. The OSD lets you put sleeping and waking on a timer or stay awake all the time
(not recommended).
Your monitor displays its state through the LED on the front panel and through messages on the
screen. These indicators vary from one model to another, but all use the following LED indicators:
●Blue – normal operation
●Amber – low-power mode
●Flashing blue – the input calls for higher resolution than the monitor can provide
●Flashing amber – timed sleep, that is, the monitor is in low-power mode and will awaken on a
timer
●No light – normal operation or power off
In addition to these indicators, some models use screen messages as well, detailed later in this
chapter.
Image quality is well-controlled with digital inputs. For analog input, various tools are provided for
adjusting the quality: a software utility, an auto-adjust function, and options in the OSD.
ZR2040w and ZR2240w Model
The order in which these monitors scan the inputs begins with the DisplayPort, making it the default
input. If DisplayPort is inactive, the monitor will scan for an active input in this order: DVI-D, HDMI
(ZR2240w only), VGA. You can change the current input, the default source, and the scan order
